What herbs/supplments do you take daily, other than Kratom

Post by sxeme »

I use CBD capsules occasionally, it's great if you're trying to relax. I a

Is there anything you recommend that everyone should try? I just recently heard of Kava, haven't tried it yet. Sounds pretty good!

Pure Alaskan Omega Wild Alaskan Salmon Oil softgels 2/day. (Fun fact, my kid's daddy's good friend since high school started this company and then subsequently sold it.)

Nature Made Super B Complex 1 every 3 days or so

Vit D3 and a calcium tablet because it works better together

Nature's Way Potassium Complex 1 every few days (unless I've been getting leg cramps at night and then every day for a few days)

Nature Made Mag Citrate 2 every day

Never heard of the oil of oregano thing for dandruff... Does it work well?! I get tired of using/buying head and shoulders all the time since I have an apparently naturally dry scalp I guess!! Probably due to wearing a hat most days of my life since a young teen hahaha but whatever! Trying to break that habit/preference now but it's tough I'm still a big hat guy lol. Please share any info, reviews on specific brands/dosages that you may have as you have really grabbed my attention with this new info!

I don't take any daily supplements, but I do take Zantac (150-300mg daily for heartburn) and Benadryl (50mg daily for allergies/sleep).

I used to take Milk Thistle, Zinc, Vitamin E, and Vitamin B but not sure why I stopped. I also briefly tried taking a Men's daily multivitamin but for some reason it made nauseous and I stopped taking it after a short while.

I can't take zinc, it makes me queasy. :oops:

Add in some vitamin K daily. Taking vitamin D is great but it can cause calcium deposits in your soft tissue and the vitamin K will ensure you’re absorbing it into just your bones :)

I’m taking vitamin D and K daily Maca root occasionally cuz it’s good for balancing hormones and increasing libido but need to find a good way to take it cuz I don’t care for the taste. I want to add turmeric cuz I keep hearing it’s good for potentiating kratom amongst other benefits.

I’m away from home so I have my stuff in a secondary container. I’ll have to check on my brand when I get back. I use that and ketokonazole shampoo and that keeps my head *almost* dandruff free. Alone, neither of them completely do the trick, but together they work pretty good. Ask your doctor about the shampoo. Or go to Mexico and get it from la pharmacia.

Cj3 I don't currently have any insurance unfortunately and even when I do it's really just for emergencies as I'm not really big on going to doctors honestly!! I have a very big trust issue with the medical industry and have most of my life especially the adult portion. But yeah thanks I appreciate the info, and would be totally interested in any more detail when you are able to provide them!
