In this part of the video, the host introduces a tier list for various substances, discussing their affordability, ease of obtaining, and effectiveness. The host begins by placing milk in the A-tier, noting its benefits despite potential issues some people might have with it, which could indicate underlying health problems. Next, a grounding pad made of copper mesh (used for reducing exposure to electromagnetic fields) is also placed in the A-tier for its ease and effectiveness, particularly during sleep.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses the importance of calcium and vitamins such as vitamin D, A, and K. Vitamin D is placed in the highest tier (s tier) due to its role in suppressing parathyroid hormone and its general benefits, though the speaker advises being cautious with MCT oil-based supplements. Conversely, vitamin A is rated lower (D tier) because of its potential allergenic properties and its interaction with thyroid function. The speaker recommends obtaining vitamin A from natural sources like liver and egg yolks and advises limited supplementation based on thyroid health. Vitamin K is also highly rated (s tier) for its anti-adrenaline properties, which help in relaxation and stress reduction. Lidocaine is rated lower (C tier) due to limited personal experience and feedback, while cadine is rated at B tier for its effectiveness, although it can cause tiredness in some users.

Mushrooms are highly praised (put in S tier) for their medicinal properties, particularly for intestinal issues, despite the lengthy cooking process needed to remove toxins. Blood donation is placed in D tier due to the risks, especially for certain groups like underweight or malnourished individuals. Carrots are placed in B tier; while they are a common introduction to Ray Peat’s dietary suggestions, the speaker notes mixed effects and the potential for negative reactions.
