Hello, I saw a post on another sub but I’m interested in doing a supplements only fast. I’m on a lot of supplmemts already but maybe I could bump it up.
My goal is healing my brain. I think if I were to do a fast like this, I would include lots of neurotransmitter precursors such as l-theanin, l-tryptophan, l-tyrosine, choline, lions mane, etc..
I normally take 1-2 capsules of these per day but I was thinking maybe on a fast like this, I could expand to it be several doses of supplements per day.
What else should I include? I saw someone else posting here about collagen. How much collagen daily for a fast?
Any resources? Thanks
You could take all of those supplements and it wouldn’t break your fast. Also taking tryptophan and tyrosine on an empty stomach make them so much more effective. Just make sure to take them on alternating days, or at least opposite ends of the day (tyr in the morning, tryp before bed). More important than any supplements, make sure to get your electrolytes in. It will make fasting easier and stop you fainting
