If I guaranteed you a pill that makes you perform 10x more than your competitors, with NO side effects, would you take it?
Even the most sceptical of you would believe me as soon as you actually see the pill with your own eyes. Don’t trust your eyes at all? Forget it. Forget even performing.
I’ve been taking vitamin A, C, and E supplements recently. Supposedly, they help with vision, energy, and blood flow. Apparently, many people are deficient in them. Apparently, many people are deficient in a whole load of nutrients. Some say it’s the soil, which is being drained of its resources by modern unsustainable farming methods which prioritise mass production over quality of produce. The evidence is clear, this is true.
So we, who are aware of this, have started to look for solutions to the lack of nutrients in our diets. A convenient method for the city dweller who wants to keep everything budget friendly, is to take supplements. Now, I sometimes feel like a pill addict when I’m taking a bunch of these together. Like I’m some kind of maniac schizophrenic 40 year old woman looking at herself in the mirror with mascara running down her eyes, or an 18 year old heartbroken young man, consoling himself by gulping down a dose of Ashwagandha while watching it all happen in a quiet rage on the surface of a bowl of milk.
Sometimes I think of how useful these little vitamins and minerals are for our day to day activity. Imagine having to eat 8 oranges a day to quench your vitamin C needs. Imagine being brown or black and living in the UK, having to satisfy your vitamin D needs during the winter. The melanin in our skin literally a shield against the sun. There’s a reason why white people are white. But I don’t know which is worse: an English man burning red with lesions, under the tropical sun of Thailand; or a Sri Lankan man walking around like a dessicated raisin (yes, a dessicated raisin) in the breezy Grimsby winds of February.
Supplements actually feel like a cheat code, because the effect they have on the body are subtly immense. There are people out there surviving on Maccys (McDonalds) and 45p energy drinks, which is astounding. The human body really is a force of resilience to be reckoned with. Of course, you can tell when someone is living on fast food and shitty drinks on a daily basis. But then, that lifestyle is not even cheap. I know this because I used to eat fast food all the time at uni. It’s significantly more expensive than cooking a good meal with supermarket bought ingredients. And it’s far less nutritious. This is why bodybuilders learn how to cook. They know their gains won’t be maximised by eating out. Unless you hire your own chef, or you dine at top tier restaurants every day.
But then people will complain about having to spend money on pills that have no “noticeable” effect on them. The number of supplement lovers is growing though, the market is now ripe with demand, and prices have never been so low, Mr. Buttlicker!
Honestly, vitamin D is the main one recommended by people, but it’s the one I notice the effects of the least. Surely it ain’t a scam, or so I want to believe. But there is one supplement that reigns over the others. At least in my life. Magnesium. This one has such a big impact in my life, that I’m starting to believe that it’s essential. It’s the one I talk about in random conversations, and I literally brought it up once while talking to someone about something completely different. You only say stuff like this about things that are that impactful.
As much as various nutrients like Magnesium, Vitamin D, Vitamin, B, etc. increase the performance of your body, and consequently the brain, there is something to be said about a vital nutrient that comes in an etheric form, or metaphysical form. It’s the nutrient that creates strife and success. It creates pure action, a desire to perform. An urge, a will to perform. You can’t buy it, but you can have it.
It will also increase your performance by 85%, hell even 666%, and heaven 999%; or realistically, 0%. You will literally perform at 0% at everything. I don’t know what this pill is called, I don’t even know anything about it actually. I just know it exists. It is. You can take it, but you have to demand it, and the supplier will provide. Really, you could call this article a marketing tool for a non-existent product. But the market exists, and it wants that non-existent product. I’m not even selling it, because I don’t know what it is, but you have to pay me, after you find out what it is.
