Any other forms of supplements you can recommend. I like knowing other ways of supplementing nutrients besides the standard or obvious ways. One example is to use salts containing potassium instead of the supplements, which are limited to 99 mg. Potassium salt can be a higher dose than the potassium supplements. They also have magnesium salts too. Epsom salts is good to soak in for both the magnesium and the sulfur content.
Iodine can be applied to the skin as a way of supplementing it and to test for an iodine deficiency.
I also like taking colostrum for a zinc supplement on an empty stomach. There are many zinc supplements that should never be taken on an empty stomach.
I also use a copper bracelet because I can be prone to low copper levels. I do think these bracelets can chelate metals when you sweat, which if left on your skin will be absorbed. Cosmetics companies make copper creams. Copper is hard to stomach because it causes nausea.
There is a zinc cream for zits, which I have never tried. One problem is that you can’t gauge how much of a dose you get with the creams usually and then applying a precise amount is not that easy to do. So the exact dose is not something you can get a handle on.
I bought this carpal tunnel cream for the b6 content. I don’t think it contains much b6. I sometimes would like b6 in my system when I first get up but don't want to take anything on an empty stomach and can't grap breakfast right away; so having some other form is helpful in some situations.
I do like the sublingual form of p-5-p (active form of b6) and can feel that hitting my brain shortly after I put it in my mouth. I don’t like the coloring or the taste but the sublingual form seems to work quickly for me. Source Naturals has some other b vitamins in a sublingual form too. I have the riboflavin one, but I think they have b3 available too.
There is magnesium oil that someone said is supposed to be tacky on the skin. Actually the magnesium oxide comes in an oil based product and a gel, and is used in treating problems from playing sports. I think the gel might be interesting to try. Magnesium can literally be a pain in the butt in the way it increase parastolic contractions in your GI tract. So bypassing the GI tract is a good option when it comes to magnesium.
Sometimes if you are creative you can use some products to supplement nutrients, which can help when you take a lot of supplements in pill form. Anyone have any other ideas for supplementing nutrients in ways that may not be obvious but still do the job.
