Nicotine products like gum and mints — which some people use to help curb their addition and eventually quit smoking and vaping — are the “least harmful” way to consume nicotine, according ...
Psychedelic microdosing is the practice of using sub-threshold doses (microdoses) of serotonergic psychedelic drugs in an attempt to improve creativity, boost physical energy level, emotional balance, increase performance on problems-solving tasks and to treat anxiety, depression and addiction, [citation needed] though there is very little evidence supporting these purported effects as of 2019.
Microdosing typically involves 1/20 to 1/10 of a recreational dose of psychedelics like LSD. [7] LSD and psilocybin are the most commonly used substances for microdosing, with volumetric liquid dosing often employed for precise LSD measurement. [7] [8] A microdose is usually 1/20 to 1/10 of an active dose of a psychedelic drug. [7] [9]

A ratio of nitrogen incorporated into the body over nitrogen absorbed gives a measure of protein "usability" – the BV. Unlike some measures of protein usability, biological value does not take into account how readily the protein can be digested and absorbed (largely by the small intestine). This is reflected in the experimental methods used ...
By design, it premiers micronutrients over macronutrients, since most macronutrients contribute to food energy content (and thereby decrease the density measure). A food product with excellent micronutrient content may get a very low nutrient density, if it also has significant energy content, even if that energy is provided by healthy ...
Protein quality is the digestibility and quantity of essential amino acids for providing the proteins in correct ratios for human consumption. There are various methods that rank the quality of different types of protein , some of which are outdated and no longer in use, or not considered as useful as they once were thought to be.
A meta-study concluded that intake of protein supplements higher than around 1.6 g/kg/day do not further improve the gains in FFM (fat free mass) [3] “at least for younger individuals”, [3] with a confidence interval from 1.03 to 2.20 [3] so “it may be prudent to recommend ~2.2 g protein/kg/d for those seeking to maximize resistance ...
