Mindsip insights from this episode:

Choose psyllium husk supplements with low lead content

When choosing a psyllium husk supplement, be aware of potential lead content; an analysis found Organic India Psyllium whole husk fiber had the lowest amount.

Take low-dose melatonin for safe sleep support

For sleep, a low dose of 300 micrograms of melatonin taken two hours before bed is recommended, as megadoses lack long-term safety data.

Optimize omega-3 supplementation with low homocysteine levels

Omega-3 supplements only improve brain performance in people with low homocysteine levels, suggesting a critical synergy with TMG and B vitamins.

Combine TMG with exercise for muscle performance gains

The supplement TMG only shows muscle performance improvements when it is combined with exercise; otherwise, there is no effect.

Debunk myths: soy protein is safe for men

Despite common myths, solid evidence shows that soy protein does not negatively affect testosterone or estrogen levels in men.

Target 1.6 grams of protein per kilogram for optimal muscle growth

A protein intake of 1.6 grams per kilogram of lean body weight per day maximizes the muscle-building response from resistance exercise.

Enhance memory performance with creatine supplementation

Creatine supplementation improves memory performance, with the effect being particularly strong in older adults.
