    Default What Supplements do you take?

    Hey guys, what all supplements do you take and what brands? What have you tried that you like and don't like?

    I have tried a lot of pre workouts but not a big fan ofdoing them all the time.
    The new dymatize pre work is not bad.

    I’ve used a few preworkouts but have moved away from them to Stimulant free stuff. Mainly carb loading and sugar.

    I use a lot of vitamin Shoppe stuff just because it’s so convenient

    Omega oil
    Multivitamin
    Amino acid’s
    Completely B complex
    Potassium
    Zink
    Liver protection of some sorts at all times
    Collagen (bio life)

    That’s pretty much my run down.

    I used perworkouts for a while but can’t take the skin crawl so I’ve moved to just caffeine then to nothing but carb loading and sugar

    Most of my vitamins come from vitamin shop just because it’s so convenient

    Omega
    Multivitamin
    Complete B complex
    Potassium
    Zinc
    Collagen (bio life with botin)
    Liver protection of some sort at all times
    Amino acids (preworkout and early morning and mid day)

    NiceI use BSN Amino X and really like it. I have also used Beverly International UMP protein. Very expensive but their Cookies and Cream is the bomb.

    Would love to hear about Primeval labs, Blackstone Labs and Red con 1. I like to hear from real people and not just the pitch men on Instagram and Fake Book.

    Agreed. I’ve heard good and bad about black stone. Especially with all the Pro hormones they was putting in sarms.

    I make my own PWO. It's WAY cheaper. This is what I have in PWO mix.

    Betal alanine ~ 4-6g If you don't like the tingling sensation don't take it or take less.
    Citrulline malate ~ 6g
    Taurine ~ 2g
    L-tyrosine ~ 2g
    Salt however much you like.
    Caffeine and/or another stimulant that you like.
    If you want to take caffeine but don't like the jitters, get some l-theanine 200-400mg is enough. I get l-theanine powder its way cheaper. You can also take this post workout if you want to chill after taking the caffeine.

    Other supplements I take:
    Whey protein
    Maltodextrine (post workout)
    Creatine monohydrate (4 weeks on 4 weeks off)
    Codliver oil, 1 tablespoon
    Vitamin D, 5000iu
    Vitamin C, 1g (joints don't hurt as much)

    Sometimes I drink about 1 tablespoon of applecidervinegar before a meal.

    I'm thinking of getting zinc and magnesium.

    Feel free to critique this and/or give some advice

    i've used preworkout drinks, but most of the time i don't use anything. just drink water during workout.
    i've also use ginseng and gingko before workout. right now the vials i have are 8000 mg ginseng and 2000 gingko. i buy them local at a chinese shop. you can get them through vitamin shoppe, vitacost, or nutrition express. i think they all carry them. bodybuilding.com carries decent preworkouts as well. labrada, bsn, muscletech,...

    I’ve been reading and looking into injectable nutrients because of this. You’re not getting much of the supplements you take so it is a waste of money

    Dave Palumbo promotes titan, probably because he gets free stuff
    Should be cheaper alternatives out there. If you guys aren't to lazy you can make it yourself.

    I take a ton of different things from time to time.................the only "game changer" for me has been curcumin. If you aren't taking it, you should it is one of the best things you can put in your word hole, period!!

    Curcumin - 2 caps a day (helps with inflammation and joints tremendously for me)
    Fish oil (switching to Krill when I'm out) - 4gm a day (general health and inflammation)
    Ubiquinol - 100mg 2x a day (mitochondria health)
    Vitamin C - 1000mg before bed (I had lost over 100lbs 12 years ago and was recommended for skin and I've kept it since as it seemed to help, plus the obvious benefits)
    Magnesium - 300mg (general health and cramps)
    Zinc - 20mg (blood work consistently shows low zinc if I don't)

    1 shake a day with:
    Taurine 2.5gm (testicular health and cramps)
    Beet powder - 1 serving (best for vascularity I've tried)
    Fiber powder 2.5-5gm (keeps the plumbing good and they say it helps with cholesterol, mines always good or fine without tren or orals)
    Whey - 20-40gm (extra protein plus the antioxidant benefits)
