I don’t think b-vitamin supplements are necessary.

Not OP, I think you're right but those are common deficiencies if you avoid eating certain foods. You get much less B1 if you don't eat pork, B7 if you don't eat egg yolk/chicken liver/onions.
It really depends on what you're eating but most people at least need D. K2 is good to take in addition and can't really hurt.

pretty good stack desu, niacinamide (flushless b3) would be a good addition and I dont think b5 is very necessary but it doesnt hurt I suppose
like the other anon said, k2 is also pretty good if you want to /bonemaxxx/ and it also boosts oxphos metabolism (thorne liquid d3+k2 is a convenient combo)
zinc+copper is good to have around but I dont consider them to be everyday supplements, just occasionally when my diet is deficient on a given week (or Ill take zinc + b6 after Ive blown a load to counter the prolactin spike)
the only supps I take daily currently are b1/b3/b7
and I also take a 10000iu dose of d3 (+2mg k2 as per the thorne formulation) every few days or basically whenever I feel I need it
You can develop an intuitive sense/craving for specific vitamins/minerals

they arent *necessary* per se but there is a very noticeable cognitive/energy boost from taking a stack of b vitamins, particularly b1
b1/b3/b7 is the stack I take daily with my caffeine and the benefits are quite noticeable

Think of it this way. We fortify carbs in the form if flour with b vitamins to stop deficiency that was happening for centuries until now. But everyone eats a ton if sugar and sugary drinks with b vitamins in it. Except a few in energy drinks. High carbs needs b1 and some others. You can feel b1 release stess sometimes. We have too much carbs without b vitamins these days and nobody realizes

I added L-Tyrosine to my own stack recently, definitely worth it

Commercial grade multivitamin with minerals, also iodine so I don't need to have sodium intake for it, then noopt, phenylpiracetam, lphenylalanine, 5htp, methioselenium, phosphatildiserine and fishoil.

Read a few studies saying fish oil doesn't help with much

its over for you, anything that is a vasoconstrictor unfortunately damages your brain long term.

You want to help your body deliver nutrients to your body/brain, not hinder it.

fish oil is toxic

>multivitamin
every multivitamin available has toxic excipients like silicon dioxide (glass), titanium dioxide, etc
>iodine
the maximum amount that should safely be supplemented is 150 MICROgrams, much more above that and you end up suppressing thyroid, especially when directly taking potassium/sodium iodide
2 glasses of milk is enough for your daily rda (although you should drink like a quart of milk a day)
>5htp
have fun committing suicide, retard
raising serotonin is one of the absolute most retarded things you can do
you should be trying to LOWER serotonin as much as possible while raising dopamine
serotonin is the neurotransmitter of torpor (hibernation), lowers the metabolic rate over all but particularly in the brain, its elevated in every major psychiatric disorder, ssris significantly increase suicide rates by raising serotonin (before homeostasis kicks in to counteract their effects)
the best literature overview of serotonin hands down (find the full paper on scihub):

thats not even to mention that tryptophan and methionine restriction is one of the most reliable ways of increasing longevity in animals

youre retarded
caffeine is a vasodilator in the brain
its also just unequivocally good for you and coffee drinkers live longer than non drinkers, with lifespan increasing linearly with number of cups per day

wrong

grifter with no sound science ever backing him, literally a retard
>every multivitamin available has toxic excipients like silicon dioxide (glass), titanium dioxide, etc
so does everything you eat, why do you think it's limited to supplements?
>thats not even to mention that tryptophan and methionine restriction is one of the most reliable ways of increasing longevity in animals
There is a lot of things that increase longevity, protein restriction overall is one of them, hence why animal heavy diets are bad from a longevity standpoint.
>caffeine is a vasodilator in the brain
no, it does both and the benefits do not outweigh the negatives

This is why it's bad for you long term as it reduces your gray matter

>its also just unequivocally good for you and coffee drinkers
That's not because of caffeine, it's because of the chlorogenic acid in coffee which has longevity effects
