I started taking rhodiola a few months ago. It definitely helps. It makes it easier to put out more than I ordinarily would during a workout.

I start taking AG1 last May 2023 on a daily basis and this last January I went for my annual blood work and my ALT and AST were off the charts after always being normal. I stopped taking AG1 and got retested after 2 1/2 weeks and my readings went back to normal. Readings for AST 15 - 06/2022, 47 - 01/24 and back to normal 15 - 02/2024 . ALT readings 17 - 06/2022, 72 - 01/2024 and 19 - 02/2024 While I know my reaction is a rare, I thought it was worth mentioning so others could be aware of a this possible reaction.

I have noticed rhodiola also makes cold showers wayyyy easier . Probably the same mechanism that makes hard (stressful) work outs easier.

I like taking creatine about 5 grams but was only doing when I’d work out so now I might try it daily to see the difference. Thanks for your input.

Just wondering about riding the bowl, g-force and endurance. And show some old skate footage would be cool. Great job bro

As you didn't mention Rosavine and Salidroside as active incredients I have the question if this a reasonable suplement? Rhodiola-rosea 200 mg - containing Rosavine 6 mg and Salidroside 2 mg

Harp seal oil is a great source of omega-3 that contains DPA, which is rarely found in fish oil. One brand is Terra Nova seal oil

Hi! I hope you are well. In the HL clips you spoke about suplemments omega-3 as EPA. But I thought that DHA was important for brain function and as an anti-inflammatory. This information confused me. Can you help me with this?

[liaselintugtekin]

What about BCAA 4:1:1 with L-glutamine?

[gaigepyatt]

Should one consume protein isolate after v02 fitness training to support muscles? Thank you

[johnkelleher]

For the Rhodiola Rosea, I'm seeing a lot of gelcaps that are 500 - 2000mgs a piece. Is it possible that the recommendation is 1000-2000mg and not 100-200?

[kristian]

I take tribulus terrestris and creatine. They do wonders for me. For the omega 3 i eat fish at leat 2 times per week and i eat walnuts from time to time but probably gonna try omega 3 supplement soon!

[alanlubel]

Thank you for this info, one question, you said the EPA form, so do you mean there should be no DHA in it? thanks.

[Grnni]

Truth be told, since taking creatine as often as I have, I have seen cognitive improvements

[tjperri]

which reputable source can I buy rhodiola from?
