@Type-IIx explains the benefits of GLP-1 and GIP agonists like Semaglutide and Tirzepatide, as true insulin sensitizing agents. how they are different from other weight loss drugs, and the benefits as partitioning agents for bodybuilders.

I'm sure you've read a lot about Ozempic, Wegovy, and Mounjaro for overweight sedentary people in the mainstream media but if you want to read about the use of these drug from a bodybuilding perspective, read on:

 
Magnesium pills?

Extended release low dose Melatonin?

Magnesium (glycinate) sure. A neurological support more than a "sleep aid", but certainly plays a role in helping calmness and natural sleep.

Melatonin not so much. Growing evidence against it and the fad for it has been fading over the years.

Taurine can help (usually, more rarely the opposite). Best taken early so it's energy metabolism effects are out of the way by the end of the day.

I've not seen any evidence against low dose melatonin. Would be curious what you're referring to.
 
I tried so much to help me fall asleep. My brain wouldn't shut off. Ambien, CBD, and DSIP did nothing. Unisom, selank, and extended release melatonin left me groggy the next day. Eventually I tried Alteril (a blend of L-tryptophan, valerian, and melatonin). I found that taking half a tablet (1/4 the recommended dose) an hour before bed was perfect for getting to sleep without feeling it the next morning. Once my sleep cycle was reset I no longer needed it. Some swear by epitalon for sleep, but I haven't tried it.
