Lithium Orotate Dosages Have a Hidden Danger

Superfoodly — Wed, 03 Feb 2021 12:01:18 +0000

[toc]If you think your morning cup of Joe packs a kick, the beverages of yesteryear took it to a whole other level. It’s true, the original recipe for Coca-Cola included cocaine as a pick-me-up. But where did the “up” in 7 UP come from? Not cocaine, but lithium citrate. Before being shortened to just 7 UP, its full name was Bib-Label Lithiated Lemon-Lime Soda. It was marketed as being a mood-stabilizing beverage and conveniently, the timing of its launch was […]

Health Benefits of Star Anise vs. Side Effects of Poisoning

Superfoodly — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 12:00:13 +0000

[toc]What is star anise? Also known as badiam, its pods look liked star-shaped pine cones and actually, they do come from a type of evergreen. However the Illicium verum tree does not have needles, but rather leaves which stay on year ‘round. That’s why it requires a subtropical climate (USDA Zones 8 through 11) and natively grows in the warm southern portions of China and Vietnam. You don’t eat the outer shell of the Chinese star anise. Each of the […]

L Citrulline Foods: 12 Highest Sources

Superfoodly — Wed, 04 Nov 2020 12:00:48 +0000

[toc]In addition to taking vegan BCAAs, one of us here at Superfoodly notices a profound difference during extreme exercise sessions when taking a 3-5g dosage of L-citrulline powder 1-2 hours prior. On arm days, a 90-110 minute session is the norm. When the citrulline is taken, that last half hour doesn’t feel nearly as challenging. Plus, heavier weights are with greater ease. This is the brand he uses. The whole reason athletes and bodybuilders take L citrulline containing foods and […]

Black Garlic Benefits Overhyped, But Still Good For Recipes

Superfoodly — Fri, 02 Oct 2020 12:00:11 +0000

[toc]When you’re paying up for a supplement, you expect there to be clinical studies or at least in vitro (lab) research to support its price tag. At an independent health food store here in Los Angeles, we stumbled across this Dr. Mercola fermented black garlic supplement. 60 capsules for $21.29 + tax. Is it worth it? Probably not at that price. Now that’s not a diss at the doctor. We respect Mercola and appreciate the fact that he doesn’t use […]

Beet Juice Side Effects Include Erections and Red Urine

Superfoodly — Fri, 25 Sep 2020 12:00:29 +0000

[toc]Growing up, you probably despised the idea of eating that red hard thing. Now, it’s the thing to eat to get hard. Or at least, that’s what a lot of men are alleging. It’s one of the lesser known purported side effects (or benefit, depending on your circumstances) of drinking red beet juice. SuperBeets does not make any health claims, but search for the keyword “ED” and similar on the Amazon product page to see what reviews say. How it […]

Fenugreek Seeds Benefit Men’s Testosterone & Women’s Breast?

Superfoodly — Mon, 14 Sep 2020 12:00:19 +0000

[toc]The phytoestrogen in flaxseed is touted for postmenopausal women. Maca is primarily for men due to its research about sperm, libido, and bodybuilding. Rarely is a superfood suggested for gender-specific benefits in both genders. But that’s exactly what you are seeing with this ancient seed. And guess what? The research might support both. What is fenugreek? The fenugreek plant is in the same family as beans, peas, and legumes (Fabaceae). Growing up to 2 feet in height, each of its […]

Benefits of DHEA Supplements & Natural Foods Sources

Superfoodly — Tue, 08 Sep 2020 12:00:20 +0000

[toc]In recent years, the topic of DHEA for women during and after menopause seems to get the most press, however this hormone plays a key role in both genders. In fact, it was because of men who were using it for purported athletic benefits which led to the NCAA banning DHEA supplements. Not because it was considered unsafe in the degree that illegal anabolic steroids are, but because it may offer an unfair advantage for muscle growth and improving physical […]

Stranger Things About Ashwagandha Benefits For Men vs. Women

Superfoodly — Tue, 01 Sep 2020 12:00:33 +0000

[toc]What is ashwagandha? Is this “Indian ginseng” the same as regular ginseng? Nope. This plant, the Withania somnifera, is a nightshade which is a totally different species. The nickname is because of its association with strength and stamina – both characteristics of ginseng. Indeed, many people claim such benefits. Check out the 14,000+ ratings of this popular brand on Amazon and see how many reviews mention energy. It’s also known as the winter cherry and poison gooseberry. It’s not poisonous […]

10 Best Superfoods For Men and 1 You Should Definitely Avoid

Superfoodly — Fri, 07 Aug 2020 12:00:37 +0000

[toc]Let’s face it, men have different dietary goals than women. Your girlfriend/wife is probably more concerned with foods for weight loss that are super low calorie or have phytoestrogens. On the other hand, you want protein superfoods for energy and muscle gain. Plus support for healthy testosterone levels, male fertility, and reproductive health. This is even more true for athletes, bodybuilders, and older men/seniors. With that in mind, which nutrient-rich foods should you be prioritizing in your diet? What are […]
