Pre-workout supplement?
jack3d and many similar products in that category, Pre-Workout Supplenents, are designed to boost your energy, increase blood flow to help you push harder at the gym. So, when they claim it makes you gain weight it is a result of your goal. If you take the product to bulk up, meaning you take them to help you left heavier weights than usual which in turn would stimulate muscle growth then yes it will help you gain weight. If you use the products to help you lose weight, which means, taking pre-workouts to increase your endurance level so you can last longer burning more calories, then you will not be disappointed because they will make you sweat like you have never before. I am not a fan of Jack3d because the product has its side effects on your overall health, not to mention heavy reliance on stimulants which means after few weeks your body will build tolerance so the product will become in effective fairly quickly. Stick with solid ingredients for the Pre-Workout category. For your goal to lose weight you can use Bulldozer XL5000 (www.bulldozerbig.com) from Neuro Research, or Fast Twitch from Cytosport. I like Bulldozer because I truly feel like I am burning twice as much as without it, I can last longer whether in the gym, basketball court, cycling ..etc I also notice my metabolism increases as well. What I like about the product in particular is that it includes BCAA (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and Glutamine, which are designed to protect your body from breakdown muscle (catabolism = slow metabolism, slow protein synthesis which also means more fat less muscle) and maintain an anabolic state (Anabolic = fast metabolism, fast protein syntheses, which means more muscle less fat). Also a great way to reduce body fat is to take antioxidants. These are important to help cleanse your body, protect from free radical damage which are associated with many diseases including obesity. Like mentioned before as well, do not forget your Fish Oils. With these three, a Pre-Workout supplement, Antioxidants, Fish Oils and a healthy eating lifestyle you are set to succeed in developing a great lean physique. I would stay away from weight loss supplements, because they are mostly under dosed versions of pre-workouts (stimulants that barely work) and thus you will be wasting your money. Good Luck

Best track supplements? For a 15 year old 400m & 800m runner?
Hey mate. I'm a 17 year old track runner and like you I love working out. I do weights and phisical training like swimming and kickboxing most days a week. For young guys like us, our bodies are still growing and damned fast so one of the most important things is recovery! Straight after every single one of your sessions have a protein shake (Regular Whey works fine) or sustegen if you like it. Also be sure to have a banana or a peanut butter sandwhich just after the supplement. I just use Musashi or Monster protein its fine. Another great supplement I found is a thing by Musashi. Its an amino supplement that just has 'Recovery' on the bottle. These pills work wonders! I will have a deadly lactic session one night, have a few pills and I can do a long run or train the next day no worries. Also ice baths are the best. If you do all this recovery stuff, you can perform the next day so much better! Its just really important to recover. But if you want to increase performance, get some creatine. I don't think it does much, it makes me feel sick but when I take it, I never feel tired. best of luck.
Any supplements and vitamins to take after you quit Adderall?
I'm in the process of quitting right now and have my degree in holistic nutrition. (The irony is not lost on me). I commend you for getting off.I have been on it since I was 19 and I'm 35 now. I was on 20–30 mg immediate release and quit cold turkey a week ago.I can tell you there are a few supplements that have made the withdrawals less intense. My naturopath helped me as well.omega 3 (Pure is a great brand)Vitamin B drops each morning (Also Pure brand)Vitamin D Pure Brand (5,000 mg)L-Tyrosine NOW brand (helps with dopamine. Adderall use depletes natural dopamine.)Sam-e (depression Pure brand)Magnesium spray (I use Sunfood brand and it helps with the aches and pains and is great to help with sleep)Maca root (adaptogen that will help the body and brain adjust to being off adderall. I use Sunfood tablets)Vitamin C (helps with getting the adderall out if system faster and prevents it from absorbing the adderall if you're just getting off).Outside of these supplements, a clean diet is key. Don't do caffeine!! It will prolong the process and tax your adrenals. After only one week without coffee or adderall, my natural energy is coming back. Whole foods, baby. Greens, fruits, plant based nutrition, lots of water. The key is to keep your body in an alkaline state so it detoxes faster. Basically it allows you to sprint towards your detox from adderall instead of walk.Also, stay active. Force yourself to move. I go for walks every day and forced myself to do yoga twice. It's challenging but you won't regret going. I've had ups and downs but even my doctor said I've bounced back faster than anyone he's ever seen.Nice work on quitting. These supplements will help your brain heal. ⭐️
What are some supplements to boost productivity for a 50 year old man?
That's a sharply loaded question to which I will attempt a short shotgun answer. The criteria that I will use for my recommendation is: relatively small risk of adverse side effects, relatively inexpensive and easy to obtain.Creatine Monohydrate for increased ATP production.Glutamine & BCAAs contained (these can be contained in a high spec dairy based protein powder or bought individually).Dark Chocolate (85%+) cantains high amounts of (-)-Epicatechin, an interesting substance which can be bought in isolated form but tends to be much more expensive and much less tasty.A high quality source fish oil supplement (not required if you already consume large portions of fish in your diet).Possibly one or two herbal adaptogens like ashwaganda and/or ginseng.
What are good natural supplements to improve one's mood?
I find it very interesting that you got so many good answers, but you didn't get THE answer.Yes, vitamins help - especially vitamin D and B12.Yes, laughter is amazing medicine!Yes, there are essential oils and herbs that will help.But, there's one thing more important than all of those combined. The answer lies in your gut.Did you know that approximately 90% of your serotonin is created in the gut? Your digestive tract essentially controls your moods! Your gut talks to your brain WAY more than your brain talks to your gut.So, the best thing you can do for your mood, is to heal your gut! Most people walk around unknowingly carrying around excessive amounts of Candida in their guts. This yeast, when overgrown, causes moodiness, grogginess, migraines, poor sleep, sugar cravings, and when left untreated, can lead to leaky gut syndrome which can then cause a myriad of autoimmune issues.So, killing off the overgrowth yeast in the gut is the number one place to start for improving your mood!I used to struggle with moodiness and mood swings that I just passed off as PMS. But, as it turns out, my gut was just unhealthy.After a lot of research, I have been on the best probiotics on the market for 6 months and no longer suffer from moodiness, chronic migraines, excessive sugar cravings, and poor sleep!If you want to know more about gut health, check out my blog right here and this one over here!I hope this answer helped you!

Is Fish oil different from cordliver oil?
Fish oil is taken for the health benefits of omega 3. Cod liver oil (especially if it is fortified with extra Vitamin A and Vitamin D) is taken for the Vitamin A and Vitamin D content. As cod liver oil is a type of fish oil it certainly does contain small amounts of omega 3 but the omega 3 rich fish oils contain much greater amounts of omega 3.
