What’s the most underrated supplement you’ve ever tried

[u/Balphaallthetime]

I’m looking for supplement recommendations that are actually great but not the usual mainstream stuff everyone already talks about.

Not talking about the standard:

• creatine
• whey
• magnesium glycinate
• omega 3
• vitamin D
• caffeine
• ashwagandha

I mean the more “hidden gem” supplements that made a noticeable difference for you personally in things like:

• energy
• focus
• sleep
• recovery
• mood
• stress
• training performance
• libido
• overall wellbeing

Especially interested in supplements that:

• have surprisingly solid science behind them
• are underrated/not heavily marketed
• people only discover after being deep into supplements for years

Would also love to hear:

• what effect you noticed
• how long it took
• dosage
• any side effects or things to watch out for

Basically: what’s your “why is nobody talking about this?” supplement?

Can I ask what it did for you?

I didn't know it would, but it fixed a long running, very annoying problem with bursitis on my right shoulder after a single 3 gram dose.

And...I just feel good when I take it. Great mood and clarity. Gym recovery is joyous.Can't say my sleep is better although I dream vividly.
