    Supplements/recommendations for aiding in restoring cartilage to the knee. Only 39 years old and is considered level 3-4 arthritic

    350 mg. Bone Morphogenic Protein and Arthroben by Designs for Health along with 12 mg. of Boron has worked wonders for my patients.

    Thoughts on my supplement stack appreciated.

    One group recommends 1 oz. of water per pound of body weight… the other group recommends following your thirst.

    Thoughts on my supplement stack appreciated.

    I’ve dropped 50 pounds of fat in 5 years and increased muscle with very little exercise due to crazy work schedule by doing intermittent fasting. I only eat during one 6 to 8 hour window a day. No cravings, blood sugar issues, etc. I almost have to force myself to eat at times. Very few...

    Thoughts on my supplement stack appreciated.

    Sounds like a pretty solid plan, although it may work even better if you take your red yeast rice before sleep and take your boron in the morning with your first good of the day. I would also consider dropping your melatonin to 0.5 mg (lower dosages work better for deeper, more restorative...

    Would grapefruit juice or bioperine increase Cialis effect?

    PDE5 Inhibitors need nitric oxide to work. Increasing dosages of pharmaceuticals increases risk of side-effects. I would rather support my physiology as much as possible with a good diet and nutritional supplement and take the minimum effective dose of a pharmaceutical… if needed.

    Would grapefruit juice or bioperine increase Cialis effect?

    I’ve been studying nutrition and nutritional supplements for 45 years, and the best thing I’ve found so far is for increasing nitric oxide is red spinach extract. It works much better for most people than citrulline or arginine. Those amino acids can activate latent viruses that we all carry.

    L-citrulline Another good feed back

    I have. Citrulline works on one of the two pathways. Red Spinach which contains nitrate works stronger, faster than anything I’ve tested with strips… including citrulline and all forms of arginine. Had numerous patients test themselves as well. All agreed nitrate worked better and faster. I...

    What about arginine activating latent viruses that over 90% of all humans have?…
