Okay this post is directed to @haidut, but everyone feel free to respond.
So I was watching you last show with Danny Roddy, and I noticed that you seem to have some kind of view that supplementing vitamins etc, or parmaceuticals like cypro, can be a very good strategy when you are severely sick. And it seems like you have done that yourself as well, but since you are getting healthier, you are taking much less supplements on a daily basis, and try to take supplements more in a reactive way. Like if, you feel mentally sluggish, take more vitamin B1. But no aspirin anymore, only estroban once a week etc.
I think this is also Ray Peat's view a bit, although he is even more against supplements, it seems, even if you are severely sick.
Personally, my view is more on the other side of the spectrum. Why not take supplements like aspirin and vitamin K2 on a daily basis, even if you are perfectly healthy, and doesn't need it to feel good? (except for financial reasons of course, and bad additives) Is this because you believe the body functions better without extra aspirin, or vitamin K2, or I don't know things like emodin, taurine, whatever, if the body is healthy, and those supplements are mainly to be taken in a sick state?
I heard that many of those supplements have anti aging properties. You wrote that maybe even some extra B2 may have anti aging properties. So I'm like, why wait until you don't feel completely healthy anymore, why not be pro active, and take things like that on a daily basis.
I think sometimes, this is also a more emotional argument, people tend to associate people that take a lot of supplements, with very sick people. People are often very shocked to see how much I take. But I'm like, if you would take all the stuff that is in the red bull you are drinking now, all the b vitamins, the taurine, the caffeine, the inositol, the carbonate, the magnesium, and more stuff, it would look very similar (in quantity) to what I take in the morning.
And I would love it, if there was some ray peat inspired soda, that would contain, things like caffeine, taurine, aspirin, b vitamins, magnesium glycinate, calcium carbonate, theanine or whatever. Not only because to limit the additives that are in the supplements, but also because people would look different upon that, than if they see me take 7 different supplements in the morning.
Anyway, I'm interested in your views on that haidut.
