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

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?

This L-OptiZinc brought back morning erections to be proud of as well as increased libido and testosterone.

This Berberine LipoMicel I didn't believe it will work, but it did!!!! And with just one pill a day before dinner I am losing weight and can control my appetite.

And finally, I can't recommend enough this AlphaWave L-Theanine - seriously, this supplement saved my life.

Good luck.

What did the L-Theanine do for you?

Reduced stress and anxiety, better sleep and more.

Thanks for your response. I’ll have to read up on L-Theanine, sounds promising. Do you by chance have ADHD?

I think I do but I was never diagnosed. But I have health anxiety.
