Continuing: Other substances whose deficiency is common and seem to have large effects for a subset of the population. By that I mean they see immediate relief after supplementing.

  • Magnesium: issues with muscle tension, cramps, poor sleep quality.
  • Potassium: immediate strong nootropic effects for some people. Coconut water is the most popular method of fixing this.
  • B12: absorption seems to be poor enough that deficiency is common even among people who eat b12 rich foods. Especially important for older folks as absorption declines with age. Responsible for many things people chalk up to age: aches, nervous tension, poor sleep, anxiety, depression, lethargy etc.
  • Saturated fat: immediate strong nootropic effects for some people.
