hi. I've found that when I eat liver/oysters I feel some tremendous health benefits. However, for the modern western eater these foods are generally not that palatable. I mean they're edible, nut I don't feel let's say "mentally satiated" when I consume them. Physically I feel some impressive changes. I eat these for health, like a supplement.
This got me thinking. Why not manufacture a supplement of some sort that contains a blend of the the most beneficial nutrients that we struggle to get? I never struggle to eat enough cheese or eggs or potatoes or milk or coffee or juice and so on. I don't think most people have that problem. There are however hard to find nutrients in less palatable foodstuffs.
I was thinking perhaps a thick strongly flavoured liquid would be one of the easiest ways to consume all these naturally occurring nutrients. Just down a few shots brush your teeth then off to work feeling fre$h kinda thing. You could consume it more easily than in pill form.
So the question I pose to thou peatmeisters: what would go into this ultimate supplement for optimal physical performance and longetivity?
I don't want hormones or thyroid or any of that. This is an idea for a marketable, real life product. The mainstream would be put off by that. I was thinking oysters (zinc, other trace minerals, interesting unique amino acids) lambs liver (vitamin a, trace minerals, as of yet unknown miracle anti fatigue substance) egg yolk (more vit a and minerals plus a big juicy dose of choline, seemingly very beneficial in its own right). Then perhaps some concentrated potato ketoacids? I don't know the research on k acids, if anyone is interested in telling me. Then finally I was thinking of perhaps some coffee and/or caffeine extracts for the antioxidant capacity and the rather unique oils in coffee. Perhaps some extracts from grass fed butter for the cla, nice fats, vit k? Or perhaps cheese would be a better performer here, although I imagine that could add a new level of nasty to this concoction.
As I say, it needs to just be a no nonsense strongly flavoured liquid that looks sanitised enough that you don't care that it's got such an unsavoury combination of ingredients. I see this sort of product being quite a hit, as the currenty forays into whey protein and shitty synthetic supplements are very popular. This would have genuine effectiveness due to bioavailability and just the concentration of nutrients like zinc vit a etc not found elsewhere. I can see it being used by all types- bodybuilders, old people with degenerative conditions, the sick, the health fanatics. Even probably the cigarette addict trying to quit cigs and replace lacking minerals. There's simply nothing like this out there.
Well. That's the idea. Very long winded sorry. Also I'm obviously looking to sell with decent margins. But at the same time no point in making it unaffordable if possible. Sometimes I look at a supplement and think "yeah that'd be useful for me. But it costs more than my food budget for 2 weeks so **** it". I don't really want that.
