Mindsip insights from this episode:
Combine lutein and zeaxanthin for optimal eye health
Lutein and zeaxanthin, taken together, show impressive and consistent benefits for both long-term eye protection and improved eye function.
Prioritize creatine, lutein, omega-3s, and taurine for maximum impact
If on a limited budget, the highest-impact supplements to prioritize are creatine, lutein with zeaxanthin, low-dose omega-3s, and then taurine.
Avoid reliance on nattokinase for arterial plaque reversal
The evidence for nattokinase reversing arterial plaque is extremely weak, earning an "F" grade, though it may mildly help blood pressure.
Utilize creatine to boost muscle mass and strength in older adults
In addition to its known benefits, creatine is also proven to be beneficial for increasing muscle mass and strength in older individuals.
Utilize beta-alanine for intense exercise performance enhancement
Beta-alanine improves performance, but its small effect is limited to intense exercise lasting between 30 seconds and 10 minutes.
Utilize Lion's Mane for cognitive dysfunction support
Lion's mane shows very weak cognitive benefit for healthy individuals but may help those with existing cognitive dysfunction, from sleep problems to dementia.
Question glycine sleep study effectiveness due to industry bias
Studies on glycine for sleep show effectiveness, but the effects are small and the research is weakened by most studies being industry-affiliated.
Prioritize omega-3s for cardiovascular protection despite arrhythmia risk
Even with a debated risk of causing irregular heart rhythms, omega-3s still provide an overall protective effect on cardiovascular health.
