I didn't list the Multi I am on, and I read N2Gaurd ingredients. It didn't have a lot of those things listed. NMN, resveratrol, citrus bergamot, CoQ10 + PQQ, high‐dose niacin, ALA, schizandra. And the TUDCA, NAC, Milk Thistle are not nearly as much as I take.

With help of AI comparing the 2.

Mapping of Overlap, Under-dose / Overdose, and Unique Items​

Nutrient / Ingredient	N2Guard dose	GNC Mega Men 50 Plus dose	Your Stack dose	Comments
NAC (N-Acetyl L-Cysteine)	300 mg	—	600 mg + 600 mg = 1,200 mg/day	You’re ~4× N2Guard; GNC doesn’t add NAC.
TUDCA	250 mg	—	500 mg × 3 = 1,500 mg/day	~6× N2Guard.
Milk Thistle (Silymarin)	300 mg	—	300 mg × 2 = 600 mg/day	Double N2Guard.
Turmeric / Curcumin	125 mg	100 mg	1,500 mg + piperine	You greatly exceed both.
Taurine	233 mg	—	2–3 g/day	10× higher than N2Guard.
Omega-3 (EPA / DHA)	15 mg	60 mg fish oil (~18 mg EPA/DHA)	~4,300 mg/day	Massive difference — your dose is therapeutic.
CoQ10 + PQQ	10 mcg CoQ10	2 mg CoQ10	400 mg CoQ10 + 20 mg PQQ	Orders of magnitude higher.
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA)	not listed / trace	25 mg	600 mg	Your dose is full therapeutic.
Niacin (Vitamin B3)	not listed	32 mg niacinamide	500 mg × 3 = 1,500 mg/day	You far exceed standard levels
Vitamin D3	100 IU	2,000 IU	5,000 IU (MK-7 combo)	Total ≈ 7,000 IU/day — monitor 25-OH D labs.
Vitamin K2 (MK-7)	—	— (K1 present only)	100–120 mcg MK-7	You cover MK-7 specifically (not in others).
Vitamin C	250 mg	150 mg	—	If added, ≈ 400 mg total intake (RDA met).
Vitamin B12 / Folate / B-complex	1,000 mcg B12 + B’s 25 mg each	B12 100 mcg + B’s 20–25 mg range	Not supplemented directly	Adequately covered by multi + N2Guard.
Zinc	15 mg	30 mg	—	Combined 45 mg — high; ensure copper balance.
Selenium	25 mcg	200 mcg	—	225 mcg total — near upper safe limit (400 mcg).
Magnesium	50 mg	50 mg	—	Only ~100 mg total — low vs ideal 400–500 mg/day.
Iodine	100 mcg	150 mcg	—	Total 250 mcg = safe.
Resveratrol, NMN, TMG, Citrulline Malate, Citrus Bergamot, Schizandra, PQQ	—	—	Present in your stack only	Unique to your stack (longevity and vascular support).
Saw Palmetto / Lycopene / Men’s Herbs	—	Saw Palmetto 80 mg + Lycopene 6 mg	—	Unique to GNC multi; supports prostate health.
Policosanol, Red Yeast Rice, Garlic Extract, Astragalus, Bacopa, Yerba Mate	Present in N2Guard	—	—	Unique to N2Guard (metabolic / organ support).

It's cool you took the time to put this together, but you got to remember with N2guard it's got the synergy that is correct. It's been 20 years of playing around with the different synergy to get the right amount. It's designed for bodybuilders by bodybuilders.

@knarfster and why no log updates? no training no diet? whats up with hyou

I did update the diet

 

[knarfster]

ai doesnt know shit brother
@knarfster they never took supps its just a chat bot repeating shit
im telling you you're overcomplicated it, take n2guard 1 bottle instead of a ton
if you dont want to sure dont do it, if you feel you know it all more than guys that been doing this for 20 years

I will run it my next cycle and compare the blood results week 4, 8 and 12 like I am doing here on this cycle. Already ordered the blood test for end of week 8.

What AI is really good at is comparing 2 products and pointing out the difference.

 

[knarfster]

To answer the diet question.

I aim for around 3000 calories a day.
Protein 225mg
Fat 83 gm
Carbs 338 gm

3 or 4 elite CorePower 42gm protein shakes a day depending on where my Protein sits.
Lots of oats or Daves bread for fiber, and only protein cheerios or Raisin bran for breakfast (with shake being the "milk". Boneless skinless chicken and rice with broccoli mostly , with a shredded beef burrito thrown in. And if i am light on overall calories I halve a half serving of Mass Gainer with Coconut milk. Done eating by 6 pm, maybe a snack if I haven't reached 3000.

Costs seem similar and, as we've addressed on podcasts, there will be both overlap and more specifically synergy between ingredients.

If nothing else it's 7 pills (more if you wanna bring up doses - say 9) vs... 30?

I'm with Lev somewhat here. While you're almost certainly correct in this example AI should not be over relied on to make decisions in many regards. More where, like we've seen with GPS and so on we overly trust what it says vs what we know or see. We can also ask questions in such a way to favor a bias we already have.

In this example that might be not wanting to be told we're making something unnecessarily complicated. I cite your dose issue by merely suggesting you take 2 more pills of N2Guard vs the sheer number you are now.

Look also, we had one or two yesterday on the forums, where people ask for a pill to fix an issue over diet and lifestyle changes. In this example an optimal diet should not then need a good multi. Yet few eat optimally. Ditto using PEDs and or training crazy hard being stressful vs not doing either. What about lowering doses vs running high amounts of PEDs and so on

Ai is just a parrot. it just parrots the biggest clicks it finds on google, so it can be rigged easily since people can pay to get google ranked
