On this episode of Sports Nutrition with Ben Greenfield:

• Nutrient delivery mechanisms and absorption of supplements.
• How can we know if we’re getting the most from our pills and capsules? Are there common supplements that are better to get in non-pill form?
• Liposomal glutathione vs NAC pills
• Vitamin D/K2–liquid or pill form? We recommend Thorne’s brand.
• Vitamin injections/IV’s
• Bitter melon extract as an insulin mimetic. Could it be used to speed up carb re-loading e.g. between heavy endurance sessions? Would you be able to store more glycogen in a short time using bitter melon as opposed to relying on insulin / GLUT4 alone?
• Does eating fish bones and / or egg shells have any health value, i.e. a good source of calcium?
• Debate over stevia. Are small amounts in products like UCAN ok?
