    Anyway, WOW, that's an impressive/extensive list. Lots of things to look into. Interesting about the sublingual b12 and hunger relationship. I just started with 2000mcg/day. We'll see what happens.
    Thanks for taking the time to put it out there.

    Thanks Rusty. I've done sublinguals many times, they never did anything. Only Jarrow Methyl B12 5000 did this to me.

    Hmmm....nothing, as in nothing, nada, zip or nothing, as in no effect on appetite. I think I know the answer. Guess it's time to try the injectable methyl b12. I only bought a small bottle of the sublinguals.

    Zilch, nada, zip. A can of redbull would have been better. This methyl stuff is in a class of it's own.

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. I'm taking methyl b12 sublinguals. So, I could see some benefits, as opposed to the more common form? Last question, I promise.

    Yeah, that was definitely a joke. I should have preceded it by "Haha." This is why I try to contain my sarcasm and humor over the Internet because sometimes it is not clear. Austinite, I apologize if you took that seriously. I haven't established the reputation of Lunk1, so it's not immediately obvious if I am joking. Also if that woman happens to be your wife, girlfriend, or sister; then I am sorry about the "hot comment" too.

    Yeah, I knew you were joking; that's why I had put "You're an idiot" (typed with laughter). Lunk1 is Lunk, the member on this forum. He has been a member for a while, and he always types ridiculous comments that make me laugh. I know you know whom I am talking about.

    Austinite, I think you may be tired my man. He is one of your friends on this site. I think I have seen you post responses to some of his posts, but I am not sure about that.

    Thank you Marcus!

    I would have to choose Cialis. Because it helps to lower blood pressure, a great nitric oxide booster, good for the prostate and sexual health. This is one that I did not describe, however.

    But if my choice was only non-prescription drugs, I would choose L-Citrulline, because I get that + it converts to Arginine, so you get the benefits I mentioned from both. Great pump, excellent nitric Oxide boost, great for recovery and a decent detox. Love this amino.

    perhaps you have some insight into this: are the effects of cialis and viagra comparable in terms of lower blood pressure, a great nitric oxide booster, good for the prostate and sexual health?

    Nope. Not comparable. Cialis is actually approved for it.

    FDA approves Cialis to treat benign prostatic hyperplasia

    Cialis has about a 16 hour half life versus 4 hours for Viagra...huge difference and why it's approved for daily use.

    It's a great great drug for men and like Austin it is number one on my list.

    Now add in a very low 1mg dose of Doxazosin and the results are amplified and even improves health benefits as well.

    Perhaps gd can fill in as he is more experienced with this drug. But Doxazosin is used to treat urinary complications. Like cialis, also lowers blood pressure and increases blood flow.

    I have not used it. But I have yet to read anything that reveals any scientific evidence that deems it better. Some varying opinions out there, but that's the thing... they're just opinions. That said, I don't see anything wrong with AAKG.

    Great post, austinite!

    This is what I take:

    Arginine, 5 grams 2x/day
    Cialis, 10mg 2x/day
    Taurine, 1g 2x/day
    Creatine monohydrate, 5g/day in my PWO shake w\ dextrose for uptake
    Optimum Nutrition multivitamin
    Vitamin D 2000iu 2x/day
    Fish oil, 1g 2x/day
    Vitamin E 1x/day 400iu
    ~150mg aspirin E.D. - Until I get this thick blood shit sorted out, I'm taking this as a precaution.
    Magnesium 250mg, 3x/day
    Garlic, 400mg ed
    t3 37.5mcg/day, 50-75mcg on cycle.
    zinc, 50mg ED
    vitamin C, 1000mg 3x/day

    After reading this, I think I may start taking more magnesium at bedtime, as well as b-6. I have problems sleeping.

    I have a question for you, though. I have noticed that with my use of Adderall for ADHD(60mg extended release ED - 20mg 3x/day), I'm starting to leak seminal fluid when I urinate, and I get 'up' when I have a bowel movement.
    I'm assuming this is due to an enlarged prostate...or maybe just increased vasoconstriction from the stimulant? Is there anything I can supplement to help with this issue? It's obnoxious to finish peeing, walk away, and have to RUSH back into the bathroom.

    I don't know. I'll see if I can research this a bit in the coming days.

    Looks good BBJT,

    Your Optimum Nutrition Multivitamin is kind of a waste. Looking at the label, there isnt enough effective doses in there. This can be said about all multi's.

    Be sure to take Vitamin E at the same time you take Fish Oil. If you can, switch to Vitamin E Tocopherol.

    Keep Magnesium for night time before bed. It's a muscle relaxer, you don't want it to counter any "energy" supplements you might take during the day. 500mg before bed is plenty. Switch to Citrate version for better absorption.

    Include copper @ 2mg. When C and zinc are utilized, copper levels drop.

    Just some food for thought.

    Be sure to take Vitamin E at the same time you take Fish Oil. If you can, switch to Vitamin E Tocopherol.

    Keep Magnesium for night time before bed. It's a muscle relaxer, you don't want it to counter any "energy" supplements you might take during the day. 500mg before bed is plenty. Switch to Citrate version for better absorption.

    Include copper @ 2mg. When C and zinc are utilized, copper levels drop.

    Just some food for thought.
    God austinite, your knowledge is definitely enviable. I was afraid you were going to make a comment on Optimum Nutrition's multivitamin because that is the one I take.

    Should the doses that one takes be based off of his/her weight? I realize that some of your doses are based off of your blood reports; but if one hasn't had his/her blood levels tested, are these doses still okay?

    Lastly, I just realized that you don't take fish oil. Is there a reason for this? I used to take the fish oil supplement made by Optimum Nutrition, but I realized almost all fish oil supplements contain very little eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA). I know Lovaza and OmegaVia contain much higher concentrations of EPA and DHA, but currently I can't afford them. Also why should one take vitamin E with fish oil?

    I re-read your post austinite, and you clearly explained the reason people should take vitamin E with their fish oil. That's what I get for posting too hastily; I apologize.

    I guess I missed fish oil on my list. But I certainly do take it. I use Life Extension Super Omega-3 EPA/DHA with Sesame Lignans & Olive Fruit Extract. A serving contains 700 EPA and 500 DHA. I take 2 servings daily, am and pm with Vitamin E Tocopherol.

    As for dosages based on body weight, this could be beneficial with some supplements. For example, an overweight person might benefit from a higher dose of fish oil. But this would be a tedious task really. Everyone is different and how well they take to these drugs really is trial and error unless bloodwork is present. The doses I've outlined could be used pretty much across the board.

    Lovaza is really good and contains Vitamin E. But yes, expensive.
