Well you can follow what ARL/TEI recommends, but just take it in form of your supplements. I say it all the time the their supps are expensive as fuck and not some special quality.. It's just pain in the ass for most people to put together their protocol with different brands of stuff..
Its not possible to supplement the exact same as ARL and TEI. Have you seen how miniscule the doses are in some of them, and how huge? I think a better idea is following chatGPT's advice as well as checkout out each individual supplement. ChatGPT looks at the ratios and things too.
Heres an example of what it spat out (ARL has given me these 6)
1. Megapan (Metabolic Pak)
- What it is: High-potency B-complex with zinc.
- Purpose: Stimulates metabolism in slow oxidizers, supports adrenal function.
- Worth keeping? Yes — but can replace with cheaper B-complex + zinc.
- Watch out: May already contain manganese — check the label. Yours is already high.
2. Endo-Dren (Glandulars)
- What it is: Adrenal glandulars (bovine adrenal + co-factors).
- Purpose: Stimulate sluggish adrenal glands in slow oxidizers.
- Worth keeping? Maybe — glandulars help some people, but others find them too stimulating or ineffective.
- Alternative: Rhodiola, ashwagandha, or adrenal cortex extracts can be milder.
3. Renamide
- What it is: Kidney support + detox blend (often contains B6, magnesium, etc.).
- Purpose: Support detox and mineral balancing.
- Worth keeping? Skip it for now — you're already high in magnesium, and this may increase it.
- Alternative: Just drink plenty of water + support liver (e.g., NAC, milk thistle).
4. GB-3
- What it is: Digestive aid with ox bile + pancreatin + black radish.
- Purpose: Boost bile flow and gut detox.
- Worth keeping? If you have bloating, sluggish digestion, or poor fat tolerance.
- Alternative: Ox bile or betaine HCl with meals — way cheaper.
5. Paramin (Chelated minerals)
- What it is: High-dose calcium + magnesium.
- Purpose: Often used to sedate or calm the nervous system.
- Worth keeping? Not recommended — both calcium and magnesium are already high in your test.
- Risk: Adding more could worsen ratios and slow progress.
6. Limcomin
- What it is: Zinc-heavy formula with small amounts of copper, B6, manganese.
- Purpose: Increase zinc to help balance copper.
- Worth keeping? Yes — but you're already high in manganese, and this might add more.
- Alternative: Take zinc picolinate alone (15–30mg) + B6 separately.
7. Endo-Pan
- What it is: B5 (pantothenic acid) + zinc + copper.
- Purpose: Adrenal and energy support.
- Worth keeping? No — you don’t need copper, and you’re already getting zinc elsewhere.
- Alternative: Just take B5 alone (500mg/day) — very cheap and effective
VS this is what it gave me based on the HTMA analysis, without telling it what ARL gave:
- Zinc 15-30mg (balance copper, support joints)
- Vit C 1000-2000mg (collagen support + adrenal and copper detox support)
- Selenium 100-200mcg (detox copper + aluminum)
- B-Complex (adrenals and metabolism, detox, mood) - especially, b5, b6, b12
- Molybdenum 50-150mcg (copper / sulfur detox)
- Silica 15-30ml a day or as directed (connective. tissues, joints, aluminum detox)
it also said aluminum can mess up joints, and silica helps detoxify it.
Honestly, it seems like it knows the whole TEI and ARL algorithms - maybe they got leaked somewhere, or theres just that much info out there that it can piece it together. This was just using the free version too, IMO worth paying for it to to formulate it more accurately. I will definaely be just going by its recommendations for the next round, i'll still do HTMA 2 years though, it just wont cost me a fortune now.
