00:00:00
hey it's Kimberly and welcome back to my
00:00:01
channel I make videos on all things
00:00:03
Lifestyle on a budget and I don't want
00:00:05
to put up my light so I'm going to be
00:00:07
sitting on the floor in front of some
00:00:09
natural light and that is where the
00:00:10
video is going to be and if it looks
00:00:12
really good maybe this is my new little
00:00:14
setup today we're going to get right
00:00:15
into it I'm talking about the two most
00:00:17
advertised supplements that I've seen um
00:00:20
on Tick Tock the last couple of months
00:00:22
and I say advertise because this is
00:00:24
basically like most people are talking
00:00:25
about I don't think they're sponsored um
00:00:27
it hasn't been specific Brands it's just
00:00:29
the actual supplements themselves and so
00:00:32
I was like you know what I've been
00:00:34
working out a lot I started back in the
00:00:37
gym back in November was hitting it hard
00:00:39
for a really long time and I was like
00:00:40
maybe I need these things too to help
00:00:42
with my workouts to help with some
00:00:44
internal issues that I was having it's
00:00:46
been a couple months now and that's why
00:00:48
I'm gonna bring you an update on my
00:00:50
personal experience using these feel
00:00:52
free to share down below your personal
00:00:54
experience so far two supplements that
00:00:56
I'm going to be talking about in this
00:00:57
video that I have been taking personally
00:00:58
for the last couple of months
00:01:00
L-glutamine and magnesium glycinate and
00:01:03
now let me look up when I purchase these
00:01:05
on Amazon so I can give you exact dates
00:01:08
so you'll know that no I have not been
00:01:10
using this for only a week and here's my
00:01:13
results I've been using this for months
00:01:16
and I want to share with y'all so let me
00:01:18
just see real quickly when I actually
00:01:20
ordered both of these okay so I ordered
00:01:23
them February 13. today it is May 9th so
00:01:26
February March April May solid three
00:01:28
months of using these supplements and I
00:01:30
just want to say for both of them I
00:01:32
still have plenty left the L-glutamine
00:01:34
is 120 capsules it's a four month supply
00:01:37
and then the Magnesium glycine is
00:01:39
actually a six month supply so the good
00:01:42
thing about these is that they are
00:01:43
affordable and they will last you so you
00:01:46
can take it for the duration and
00:01:48
actually feel like you're getting like
00:01:50
the most bang for your buck for
00:01:51
L-glutamine I got it from the now
00:01:52
supplements brand this is 500 milligrams
00:01:55
these are veggie capsules I'm vegan so
00:01:57
it's important that I don't have any of
00:01:58
the gelatin or anything like that with
00:02:00
in the way that the capsule is made I
00:02:02
only spent 9.99 for the Magnesium
00:02:04
glycinate it's 400 milligrams 180
00:02:06
capsules like I said vegan as well and I
00:02:09
played I paid 11.95
00:02:12
let's dive into L-glutamine first I feel
00:02:15
like I have seen this the most uh the
00:02:17
information and it's one that I wasn't
00:02:19
familiar with so I want to do the most
00:02:21
research before buying it I'm just going
00:02:23
to show you what the pills look like so
00:02:25
you can see there's what one looks like
00:02:26
I'm trying not to touch it because I
00:02:28
already took mine today so I don't want
00:02:29
to just be digging my hands in for no
00:02:31
reason I'm going to be reading a lot of
00:02:33
information on so I can pass it on to
00:02:34
you so that you can make a decision on
00:02:36
your own whether this is worth it or not
00:02:37
so L-glutamine is the supplement form of
00:02:40
glutamine which is the most abundant
00:02:42
amino acid in our body already in your
00:02:44
body so you do already have this and L
00:02:47
glutamine meaning that it's just a
00:02:48
supplement form help to build muscle uh
00:02:51
bone and tissue helps with brain
00:02:53
digestion and your immunity system so
00:02:55
L-glutamine in general comes in a powder
00:02:58
form or a pillow form I just chose to do
00:03:00
the pill instead some of the benefits of
00:03:02
L-glutamine in general are wound healing
00:03:06
gut health say you had IBS your immunity
00:03:08
for weight loss Muscle Recovery so where
00:03:12
I fit into that is that I wanted to use
00:03:14
it for the digestion I also wanted to
00:03:16
use it for Muscle Recovery because as I
00:03:17
mentioned from November on I've been
00:03:20
really extensive in the gym I was you
00:03:23
know hitting the gym I have a video on
00:03:25
the actual workout that I was doing
00:03:27
um I was really going hard and to be
00:03:29
consistent with that I wanted something
00:03:30
that would help with like my Muscle
00:03:32
Recovery let me also mention I should
00:03:34
mention this at the beginning but I'm
00:03:37
also a professional dancer so I think
00:03:40
that does play in with the athleticism
00:03:42
that I already have and how my body is
00:03:44
functioning that might be different from
00:03:45
someone that doesn't have exercise
00:03:47
regularly in their life doesn't
00:03:50
necessarily have the same chemical
00:03:51
makeup so they're using these products
00:03:54
it might have different results there
00:03:55
are some side effects to L-glutamine for
00:03:58
some people bloating nausea dizziness
00:04:00
stomach pains also you want to look up
00:04:02
on your own there are people that
00:04:04
shouldn't take this if they have certain
00:04:05
health conditions or disorders it's
00:04:07
highly beneficial to take L-glutamine on
00:04:09
an empty stomach or specifically without
00:04:12
high protein rich foods I feel like
00:04:15
that's not mentioned a lot and people do
00:04:17
say oh I have a stomach ache with it or
00:04:19
I felt really sick after again
00:04:20
L-glutamine amino acid building blocks
00:04:23
of life taking it with high protein rich
00:04:25
food is too much for your body to break
00:04:27
down so apparently El glutamine won't
00:04:29
absorb as well so it is recommended that
00:04:32
you take it on an empty stomach or
00:04:34
within an hour of eating that high
00:04:35
protein rich food so an hour before hour
00:04:37
after I found that really interesting
00:04:39
and so I was personally taking it when I
00:04:41
woke up on an empty stomach and I don't
00:04:44
feel any sort of way after now let's get
00:04:46
into my experience I'm definitely
00:04:48
regular which is great can I attribute
00:04:50
it to that was I regular before I would
00:04:53
say I was regular before but there'd be
00:04:54
some bloating days here and there that I
00:04:56
wasn't really sure where it was coming
00:04:58
from I don't feel that on um L-glutamine
00:05:00
I would say in the past three months or
00:05:03
so that I've been taking it
00:05:05
maybe I've been bloated less than five
00:05:09
times so to me that's really good Muscle
00:05:12
Recovery is a strong possibility I was
00:05:15
able to go about I'm able to go every
00:05:18
other day to the gym which is really
00:05:20
great is that contributed to the
00:05:22
L-glutamine or is that because my body
00:05:24
just got used to going to the gym
00:05:26
frequently over time
00:05:28
like I said also too I'm professional
00:05:30
dances so getting into that mode of
00:05:31
being Physically Active is not something
00:05:34
strange to me
00:05:36
um I'm used to it I just spent like the
00:05:37
last five minutes trying to articulate
00:05:39
what I was gonna say and I just had to
00:05:40
look it up this is one thing that I feel
00:05:42
like I missed by just saying like oh it
00:05:44
helps with weight loss so what I was
00:05:47
trying to say is that I felt like when I
00:05:48
have the L-glutamine in general I
00:05:50
noticed that I feel like Fuller longer
00:05:52
or more satisfied it says to put it
00:05:55
simply glutamine can help weight off by
00:05:58
reducing your food cravings and giving
00:06:00
your body more energy I think that
00:06:02
that's actually true I'm curious for an
00:06:04
update when I stop taking it to see if
00:06:07
there are massive changes because I
00:06:08
don't necessarily want to be on the
00:06:09
supplements like all my life alglutamine
00:06:11
I'm gonna say
00:06:14
it works it's not a miracle worker but I
00:06:17
think it's beneficial
00:06:20
now let's move on to magnesium glycinate
00:06:23
let me just say I absolutely love so the
00:06:26
first thing to know about magnesium is
00:06:27
that that there are multiple types it's
00:06:29
an essential micronutrient kind of like
00:06:31
vitamin D many of us have a magnesium
00:06:33
deficiency and we just don't know about
00:06:35
it magnesium glycinate benefits lowers
00:06:38
blood pressure it can reduce stroke it
00:06:40
prevents migraines reduces PMS that's a
00:06:43
big one helps with sleep reduces pain
00:06:45
amplifies your exercise relieves anxiety
00:06:48
there are natural sources of magnesium
00:06:50
I'll put a photo up so you can see seems
00:06:52
to me like the most beneficial thing is
00:06:54
just constantly have dark leafy greens
00:06:55
that seems across the board to be like a
00:06:58
win for everyone but anyway there are
00:07:00
side effects to magnesium glycinate
00:07:02
watery diarrhea yuck and upset stomach I
00:07:06
hopped on this train out of curiosity of
00:07:08
the idea that many people have a
00:07:10
magnesium deficiency I did see something
00:07:12
interesting online that talked about how
00:07:15
uh indication an indication of a
00:07:18
magnesium deficiency would be like the
00:07:19
dark circles under your eyes I had
00:07:21
mentioned to y'all before that that's
00:07:23
something that kind of popped up
00:07:24
recently or I started noticing and I was
00:07:26
using things to brighten it the only
00:07:27
thing with that is that I still kind of
00:07:29
have them so maybe it's not so
00:07:31
interconnected another symptom would be
00:07:33
eye twitching I've had that
00:07:36
sporadically throughout my life and I
00:07:39
was sort of restrained it's like your
00:07:40
eye would just be like
00:07:42
I definitely haven't had an eye twitch
00:07:44
on here so I feel like that is a true
00:07:47
thing uh maybe I did have a deficiency
00:07:49
at some point and now it's no longer in
00:07:52
general I've always been a really good
00:07:54
sleeper except when I was mentioning to
00:07:56
y'all that certain vitamins I take I'm
00:07:58
still standing by this I haven't figured
00:08:00
out why but there's certain vitamins
00:08:02
that I would take that suddenly my sleep
00:08:04
would be disrupted certain supplements
00:08:06
as well turmeric I'm looking at you I
00:08:08
was taking turmeric again recently for
00:08:11
just to see if it would help with
00:08:12
inflammation on something and I
00:08:14
immediately noticed my sleep was
00:08:15
disrupted regardless of the fact that I
00:08:18
was taking magnesium and I was like
00:08:19
you're out of there forget you so it
00:08:22
makes me wonder is it the pill
00:08:24
construction that's causing issues or
00:08:27
something else because different types
00:08:30
of vitamins throughout my life
00:08:32
immediately affect how I sleep back to
00:08:35
magnesium even though I I'm a good
00:08:37
sleeper I have noticed a massive
00:08:38
difference in how I sleep on magnesium
00:08:40
it's just always a deep sleep it's just
00:08:43
always very relaxing when I wake up I
00:08:45
wake up refreshed I might mentally be
00:08:48
like I'm tired but physically I'm
00:08:50
actually not this is just gonna you know
00:08:52
Carry Me lovingly and I'll wake up
00:08:55
feeling good now in regards to the PMS
00:08:57
usually for me I have like a a rough-ish
00:09:01
first day and I use that lightly I would
00:09:04
say if my pain is like a six and I know
00:09:07
that there are other people out there
00:09:08
that like they have a pain and a 10 so I
00:09:10
want to go with the six because it'll be
00:09:12
like Oh I'm uncomfortable but like I'm
00:09:15
not gonna take anything for it so on
00:09:18
with magnesium I've noticed the same
00:09:20
thing it's like my period is like a blip
00:09:22
on the radar for me I would just give
00:09:24
magnesium glycinate a 10 out of 10.
00:09:25
we'll continue to use it I love that I
00:09:27
have a six month supply yeah I take this
00:09:30
at night before I go to bed that's it I
00:09:33
don't need to take more than one so
00:09:34
that's my review on what I consider the
00:09:36
two most popular supplements that I've
00:09:38
seen online right now that people are
00:09:39
raving about definitely go for the
00:09:42
Magnesium glycinate like regardless of
00:09:44
if you're working out or not just any
00:09:46
anybody can go for this L-glutamine I
00:09:49
would say if you're looking for those
00:09:51
specific concerns
00:09:53
go for it if you're just in your regular
00:09:57
day and everything you're feeling fine
00:09:59
and you don't need it for any specific
00:10:01
reason like don't take it let's have a
00:10:03
discussion Down Below have you taken
00:10:04
these supplements and how have you been
00:10:06
feeling like I said I probably will not
00:10:08
continue the L-glutamine I'm curious to
00:10:10
see what would happen if I just stopped
00:10:12
taking it once I'm done after doing it
00:10:14
for like three four months as always I
00:10:16
can't stress enough do your own research
00:10:17
but let this be a launching pad for you
00:10:20
if you're curious that is my video thank
00:10:22
you all so much for watching and I will
00:10:23
see you in the next one
00:10:26
