Күн бұрынAre dietary supplements actually helpful? Do they actually work?
More than half of Americans take a dietary supplement, but the truth is, most people don't need them. There are, however, a handful of supplements that scientists do recommend! Join Hank Green for new health-focused episode of SciShow!

@TheRABIDdude 6 жыл бұрын
plok ijuh It'd help to say WHEN these are useful, as most of these aren't useful to average healthy people: 1) Creatine for muscle recovery and for improving short burst excercise 2) Beet Juice to lower blood pressure because it has a lot of nitrates. Though I would be hesitant to regularly drink anything with high nitrate content because it may cause gastrointestinal cancer as sodium nitrite does. 3) multivitamins and antioxidants ONLY IF you have Macular Degeneration 4) Folic acid supplements ONLY IF you are pregnant. Otherwise just get it through your food and in fortified cereal 5) I don't know why melatonin is in this video; he makes a strong case against it, saying that it might increase your sleep by 10 minutes at best. 6) Please don't take St. John's Wort. It causes your body to produce more Cytochrome P450, a liver enzyme responsible for breaking down any drug present in your bloodstream. Every drug on the shelf bases it's recommended dose on how much Cytochrome P450 is in your body, so when you take St. John's Wort it becomes impossible to know what dose is safe for any other drug you take. For people who take blood pressure tablets like statins, getting the dose wrong can cause fatal heart attacks and strokes. Even if you don't regularly take other drugs, St. John's Wort can still cause lethal paracetamol overdose. Please please just steer clear of this one.

I took St. John's Wort for a month after watching this video, and I am delighted to say that it helped noticeably with my depression, which I had been struggling with for some time, and it actually helped me a little more than the antidepressants I was taking before. Unfortunately, I also take stimulants for ADHD, and after a couple weeks I noticed that they had lost most of their effect. When my test bottle of 30 capsules ran out, I decided not to get more and went back on traditional antidepressants, because the slight increase in mood I got was definitely not worth losing the effects of my ADHD meds.

@@joehefner7529 if you feel energized from adhd medication. that's a good indicator you got misdiagnosed. I have extremely bad adhd. Got diagnosed 18 years ago. And the strange thing is, if I take Methylphenidate, Amphetamines, or even Caffeine... I don't get stimulation. Caffeine is the only stimulant I feel "stimulation" on.. but it's less euphoric, and way more of a "tight chest", "sweaty" feeling.. no energy. The drug I used to use was Ritalin, I have since gotten off it (more because it's too expensive), but when I was on it... Id take it.. and slowly over the next hour it was like someone was talking two ends of a ball of yarn and untangling them. My thoughts flowed one to the next to the next... Very easily.. no "overlap" of ideas. If you have "overlap" of ideas while on stimulants, that's actually a default effect of stimulants in NON ADHD individuals. ADHD individuals do not have an increase in hyperactivity due to stimulant consumption. If any individuals dude, treatment options would need to be assessed for this subset of the ADHD population, but that's not something that shows up in testing or treatment. Often it's a direct indicator of a misdiagnosed Generalized Anxiety Disorder. If you take stimulants and get uncomfortably hyper. Odds are you actually have a misdiagnosed Anxiety Disorder. If ADHD meds still make you anxious, hyper, and keep that "out of control" of your feelings. You probably need to try out an antianxiety medication (like Prozac) and get off stimulants. Stimulants don't cause stimulation in ADHD individuals

@Amy-ff9lw Жыл бұрын
I know it's been 3 years, but based on your quick description there (if you're still experiencing this), I don't think you have delayed sleep phase syndrome (DSPS), but rather non-24-hour sleep-wake disorder (N24). DSPS is when your body is consistently wanting to sleep at a different time than is conventional, for example your body refusing to sleep until it's 4am every night, then you can sleep. Which then makes it difficult to get up for a 9-5 job in the morning because you're not getting enough sleep. But it's not having a longer day-night cycle. N24 is when your body doesn't have a consistent time every day it wants to sleep, but rather it's constantly moving forward or backwards. For example, with what you've said I'm assuming this is the case but it's possible I misinterpreted: you may sleep at 10pm one night, but the next night it's 2am, then 6am, then 10am, and you keep going around and around. People can also be N24 in the other direction (although it's less common) where you sleep at 10pm, the next day 6pm, 2pm, etc. Also it doesn't need to be 4 hours at all, you can be N24 more mildly (like 30m to an hour difference each day, which still adds up), or more severely.

Bro. Come on. Let's think through this. There is an INSANE variety in the ways our bodies function and the forms of dysfunction we fall into. There are no supplements that are "safe for everyone" or "useless for everyone" or "harmful for everyone." By your logic, we could say that antibiotics are useless and harmful, since they don't work on asthma or fungal infections or psoriasis or OCD. What you're talking about doesn't exist. Medications and supplements work for the people who need them. They don't work for people who don't need them. Please try real hard to remove your head from your ass. I'm allergic to almonds. Does that mean almonds are "truly useless and/or harmful"? What about psych meds that make people suicidal? Are those "truly useless and/or harmful," or are they useless and/or harmful for CERTAIN PEOPLE who DONT HAVE THE CONDITIONS THOSE MEDS TREAT? Please like, try to learn about logic.

The John's Wort is there as a buffer, to slow down that dip long enough that I have time to arrange some time off work to do eat, gym, cuddle dogs, and do my self-driven CBT stuff to work out what's going on - nearly always catastrophizing something that isn't.

One that this video did not mention that is well researched is magnesium for IBS. My mom thought it might help me and so I started taking it, and it helped worlds. She changed brands for the pills and so I stopped taking it after having taken it regularly for two years (the new pills were sticky and unpleasant), big mistake. I'd thought my IBS was better mostly because of better stress management and hydration, but the magnesium was contributing more than I thought. Not all forms of magnesium absorb well, though, so you have to get the right ones.

It helped me go through a rough patch in my life but I wasn't aware of it's strong potential effect on the eyes and how it increased people's sensitivity to sunlight.

A few years ago I begged my doctor for help, but since I take epilepsia meds I couldn't get standart sleeping pills or velerian, so melatonin was pretty much my only option. And they worked from day one, I take a tablet before I go to bed, and relax on my phone, and after 30 mins I get sleepy, put down my phone, and pretty much go right to sleep.

Connor Sullivan Well, first of all Vit D is not really a vitamin like others. Vitamin D is the trivial name of Cholecalciferol which is synthesized in our skin. Other Vitamins can't be synthesized in the human. Without going too much into the biochemics behind it, the body basicaly takes cholesterol and changes it to substances under the trivial names of Vitamin D1, D2 and D3 in different parts of the body. Vit D3 is the stuff normally regerred to just as Vit D. The last step of this process takes place in the skin and needs UV-Rays to be triggered. I actually don't know how effective, or even at all, UV-lamps are a possible substitute. But I guess it works, if the right spectrum of light is produced.

Little known fact: vitamin C improves your symptoms because it *pacifies* your immune system, NOT strengthens it. Symptoms are caused by your immune system fighting a pathogen, NOT the pathogen itself. When people are stressed, their immune system starts attacking all kinds of innocuous things. These symptoms are from AN OVERACTIVE IMMUNE SYSTEM, not an underactive one. Vitamin C is a powerful mast cell stabilizer, which is why it pacifies your immune system rather than strengthening it. Pathogens don't cause symptoms. Your immune system does. Vitamin C reigns in your immune system. That is why it reduces symptoms. There is nothing "placebo" about it. It's just working on an organ that medicine REFUSES TO STUDY (mast cells, the cause of every disorder on the affective spectrum and most forms of mental illness)

I suffered a tylenol induced liver injury. I, of course started taking milk thistle and I made an organic beet juice recipe that I could tolerate - Not a fan of the sugar content in the normal recipe and the store bought beet juices upset my stomach. My daily juice was (all organic) beets, kale, cucumber, turmeric, ginger, lemon and blue spirulina. I am happy to report that my liver is now a normal size again and my chronic nausea is down to a queasy stomach a few times a day. I no longer have to wear P6 pressure bands 24/7. Thank you Mother Nature!!

I have a question about creatine: Are there reported cases of hypersensitivity? When i supplement it, even in small dosages, i get the dryest mouth on earth, the thirst of my live and even drinking up to 8ltr wont help. This sideeffect also wont go away after 2 weeks. So i stoped and stil needed 5 days to recover. The strength gain totaly worked though
