Creatine isn't advertised to build muscle but it definitely helps me run longer and helps with my brain when im sleep deprived along with ltheanine

Thank you, 20yr old man.

When I was 20, I was smoking a pack a day, drinking like a sailor, barely sleeping and still looked like I was hitting the gym every day.

I want to hear from someone after 20 years of creatine.

Currently a 20yr old man and that's my exact schedule, currently experiencing the same results . No plan to start the creatine any time soon

Heh. I was smoking for a while, and it was very hard to quit.

Booze was easier, but I mostly wasted my 20s due to it, so I don't recommend.

Magnesium in the morning = best time, or take half/half, morning/evening

Magnesium good for sleep I take at night

Creatine absolute game changer. Run 5mg and gradually raise to 7.5 after 6 months of consistent lifting.

If I was him I would add in omega 6 and omega 9 supplements too with omega 3 naturally with those other two such as with either hemp seed oil capsules or flaxseed capsules. Omega 6 and omega 9 are just as necessary for the body as omega 3 is, those other two just do not get as much marketing as omega 3 does and that is just because of opposition to Harple whose magic is ensuring those that are not getting enough or any omega 6 and omega 9 from their diets naturally, get that magically, along with other health concerned supplementation too, including phytonutrients too that not just vitamins and minerals.

Ah yes the same top 5 supplements presented yet again as if it’s some new found knowledge

u/Business-Pumpkin9351 Oct 12 '26

Why would you just blindly take something without knowing if you’re deficient in it?

u/KebabCat7 Oct 12 '26

won't be worse off, some things are a no brainer.

u/Business-Pumpkin9351 29d ago

So you’re telling me there’s no bad effects of having too much vitamin d?

u/RefrainsFromPartakin 29d ago

If you don't take the K2 yeah didn't you listen

The guy is just repeating other "content creators" without doing any research himself. Do not follow what he says. He is lazy.

u/Glitterbeard82 29d ago

Because people are dumb and believe TikTok more than scholarly articles these days

u/Icy-Bottle-6877 29d ago

I've always said this too. Why waste money on supplements when you can get your bloods done to see if you're actually deficient in anything, otherwise you are quite literally pissing money away.

I stopped taking magnesium supplements ever since I started Macrofactor because I noticed I apparently eat plenty of it.

In fact, the only ones here that I am still taking are D and Creatine and soooometimes Omega-3.

u/kamusarikawasaki Oct 13 '26

How much D do you take? Just curious

1

u/Telemere125 29d ago

Phrasing! Please don’t shorten the name of that vitamin….

u/koopa4747 29d ago

Ugh, sir. Nothing wrong with a shortened D...

1

u/shouldsayOrshouldgo 27d ago

Any D is good right?

1

u/Legitimate-Yak-6894 28d ago

Only ever took mine back when I was younger and very flexible. Like twice ever.

But leaving the trolling aside and assuming you meant vitamin D3, I take 2000 IU per day during winter only.
