Did you notice an increase in energy from charcaol?
No I didn't notice this. My dose was probably quite small around 2 capsules to help stop the loose bowels rather than taking Immodium. I cannot remember how effective it actually was but my new supply has arrived today so will see how it goes next time my IBS reverts back to loose bowels.
Some tried and tested supplements for me that definitely help with an increase in energy and stamina are the L Carnitine as mentioned above, 250 mg (but only on occasions) and also my current go to is half a capsule of a high strength Cordyceps. I get a sense a well-being from it too.
For the first few hours of being up today I felt terrible because I had overdone the physical bit yesterday but took the half a tab of Cordycep with my first cup of tea and by 11.15 started to notice some energy and things turned around for me from then onwards and I had a good 25 minute walk this afternoon and felt a whole lot better. I feel sure this was due to the Cordycep because I notice the difference when I don't take it. The usual downside is inability to drop off to sleep fairly frequently with it and I might have to resort to a bit of Rivotril to get to sleep.
Daily I take B2, 50 mg, B1 25 mg, B6 50 mg and at the moment one Thorne's Basic Nutrients all for ATP together with 100 mg Q10, gentle Vitamin C 1000 mg, 2000 mg D3. Some days I add in vitamin A and E. Another supplement is Macusave taken away from the above for eye health and also Glucosamine and Chrondroitin plus Hyauloric Acid to help with arthritis.
The minerals I take are Zinc 30mg, magnesium citrate and glycinate amount varies but around 500 mg, 300 mg calcium citrate and selenium 200 most days. I think that is it but might have forgotten something.
I am off now to do a Genova webinar on the Commensal bacteria in the microbiome.
