Overview

This video explains five supplements that can enhance the benefits of intermittent fasting, particularly a 16-hour fast, by improving fat utilization, brain function, and recovery. Thomas DeLauer discusses how these compounds can accelerate fasting results and which ones are best used during or after a fast.

Key takeaways

• Glycerol: Can be used before a fast to promote cellular hydration, potentially increasing fat utilization and focus during the fasting period. It's hydrophilic, drawing water into cells.
• Moringa: Recommended for post-fast consumption to extend detoxification benefits by boosting NRF2 pathways, which are crucial for the body's antioxidant systems.
• Methylene Blue: Can be taken during a fast to support mitochondrial function and energy processing, potentially enhancing fat burning. A low dose is recommended infrequently.
• TMG (Trimethylglycine): Suitable for consumption during a fast, TMG acts as a methyl donor, aiding cellular remodeling, detoxification, and potentially preserving muscle mass and reducing homocysteine.
• Taurine: Can be beneficial during fasting, especially if exercising, as it may help with localized muscle repair, reduce fatigue, and improve recovery by acting as an antioxidant in muscle fibers.
