Default Supplements

We've already talked about magnesium elsewhere. Any other supplements that people have found useful?

I was thinking about cayenne pepper to boost circulation. You can cook with it, get the powder or even buy it in capsule form. I have not tried it myself.

Experiences? Musings?

Hi Chroma, yes cayenne pepper is a great natural alternative for boosting circulation. It's known to increase blood to ALL parts of the body...... men take note
Also root ginger is an all time winner, it's a powerful anti-inflammatory herb and a warming remedy which is good for boosting circulation!!!!!
I found root ginger very beneficial...... can't understand why I'm not using it at the moment????? I'm going shopping today and that will be my first item to buy.

great ideas, i have AWFUL circulation tos or no tos and when i feel my best veins in my hands are bulging which i dont think is a coincidence

vit d but im sure you guys knew that

i am taking a small dose of iodine and selenium which indirectly could contribute to pain through thyroid
and bi-estro and a progesterone cream. i think i would benefit most from testosterone cream but i'm gonna hold off on that for now. they do not sell a bioidentical version otc. (i wont go into graphic details but the creams ARE legit)

i wouldnt take ANY OF THESE tho unless you have tested. i am just farting around with the idea that hormones affect pain levels.

this probably wouldve been more helpful if i listed all the supplements i took that didnt do crap

one supplement i wouldnt rec is zyflammend. you can take it for a few days but no more than that. it upset my stomach big time

Some of the things I have used - and go back to when I feel a need, otherwise I am hit and miss w/vits this last few years.

A quality multiple - with therapeutic levels (the daily RDA is a minimum requirement)
Vitamin B complex - the stress vits
Cal /mag blend
Vit D - more in winter - less sun & less time outside
MSM
Grape seed extract

also for circulatory heath
Lipoic Acid
Omega blends

Curcumin is very good. There has been a study saying it is as good a Lipitor for reducing endothelial inflammation. (improvement).

You have to get a form that advertises good absorption.
This will cost a bit more but is very worth it.
Curcugel
LongVida Curcumin

are two enhanced types. I think there are others now too.

Grapeseed extract is also very good. 300mg or more a day and it reduces inflammation too.

Fish oil or Krill oil also good for inflammation and for thinning the blood a little bit. Use herbs like ginger etc only if you are not on a blood thinner. Ask your doctor if you take warfarin or something else before starting fish oils or herbs.
