Hi guys,

 

I'm 33, diet in check, walking a lot but not lifting at the moment, suffering from hay fever and autoimmune disease (lichen planopilaris on scalp). My main issues are: lack of focus, brain fog, mild OCD symptoms (some repetitive thoughts and behaviours in the evening), and constant overthinking/rumination. 

Do you see any potential bad interaction, side effect or "overlap" (I'd like to keep it as simple as possible) between the following supps?

 

  • fish oil 2000mg

  • magnesium 200 - 400mg (still experimenting with the best dosage to take mag during the day, taking in the night is disrupting my sleep)

  • vit D3 4000UI

  • vit K2 MK-4 100mg

  • NAC 1800 - 2400mg

  • ONE of the following adaptogens: bacopa (focus, OCD, anxiety), reishi (immune system modulation, hay fever, mood, but I'm concerned about its presumed anti-androgenic effects), rhodiola (energy, mood, focus), gotu kola, schisandragynostemma (I've read good reviews about these and I'm considering trying in the future) 
     

Do you think that taking both NAC and an adaptogen at the same time would be overkill, considering my goals?  If supplementing NAC, would be advised to add also vit C (1000mg)? I've read mixed opinions, but I'd be interested since vit C could help also with dry skin and hay fever. 

 

Last but not least, could I safely add MSM and zinc (15mg) to my They should help with many things , i.e. hair, dry skin, mood, hay fever, detoxication (MSM) but I still to understand if they are suited for autoimmune diseases. 

 

Thanks a blast!
