Brandon D ChristParticipant1/4-1/2 tsp, Sea salt mixed in water and comsumed before and during exercise helps immensely in the formation of electrolytes, and doesnt taste half bad. I used to get really bad cramps (bad enough that i was down for a few weeks), but once i started drinking some sea salt water during exercise, and adding more to my pre workout meals, all the cramps went away. As for other vitamins, eat lots of veggies, and consider supplementing wigth some of the big vitamins that require high doses, like Vit. D
Good advice. When it comes to electrolytes an abundance of one can make up for a deficiency of others. Salt does lots of good things and can help you retain more of the other electrolytes like magnesium and potassium. So I would start there. For vitamins I would probably just take a multi or a B-Complex in the mornings. But having fruit (as Im experiencing) does not jeopardize the results of CBL at all. So throw some in their if you feel like it.
I read a while back that b complex are essentially pointless to supplement with, as u mostly pee it all out and what is absorbed you get in ubundance from lots if red meat.. go figure after i bought em. Anyways, ive only taken it while recovering from injuries since. What would u supplement it for?
Yea I would think on a low carb diet you get plenty of b-vitamins.

Not when your fasting you dont! In the absence of food i.e first thing in the morning they can be a godsend. I find it helps noticably with my overall stress levels in the fasted/ulc part of the day.

That is a good point. I think they are eliminated rather quickly. I remember when I was eating liver for lunch (I was fasting prior) it was like I got a some sort of boost. I always suspected it was the b-vitamins.I think b-vitamin deficiencies are also linked to depression.

Anyways, ive only taken it while recovering from injuries since. What would u supplement it for?As for vit D, i take one 10,000 iu cap with my first meal.. I deff noticed an increase in mood and performance, no negative effects to speak of at that high of a dose
Good idea to check your vitamin D levels if you take 10 000 iu a day. I was deficient at 17 ng and after 3 months of supplementing with 10 000 iu a day i went at the top of the range of the scale and decreased the dose to 2000 iu a day max

samuel r walkerParticipantYea ibob suggested I do the same back when I was taking 20,000 iu a day.. Ive since decreased to 10, but its still on my “to do” list haha

;D good idea you do at some point! It's not really a cheap blood test (well here in europe at least). The guy that does all my blood tests which is a friend explained to me why its a bit more expensive than other blood tests. Also brought me the thing he has to use when someone wants to test their vitamin d levels. I paid around 50 euros for 2 blood tests. Before and after

Gl;itch.eMemberLife Extension Foundation does a Vitamin D test through Superhuman Radio pretty cheap. If you are in the states its probably worth a look see. Check the Superhuman Radio website
