Thread: Essential suppliments!

Creatine, Vitamin Bs, Vitamin C, Vitamin E and Vitamin K. Protein and a decent preworkout.

If you want to just narrow it down, I'd say creatine and protein. Vitamins can be had from food sources.

A multivitamin-asn multi is pretty good, protein and creatine..pretty much your basics

Multi, Need2Slin, Wheytobuild(Icecream Sandwich flavor!!)

Jack3d for pre workout bro. Some creatine monohydrate and protein shakes do the job for me

Creapure +GPLC

Fish oil, Multivitamin, Protein, Creatine, Glutamine, Jack3d all you really need. Add BCAAs if you want.

My current list and what I like to consider my bare bones, basic, no fluff, blue collar, hard, honest, and effective supplements.

Building your body supps
Protein- MAP ( the fastest, best absorbing and tasting protein available )
Creatine- Creapure ( 100% pure Creatine monohydrate )
Beta Alanine- Beta Alanine from Primordial Performance ( enhances creatine )
Bcaa's- Ibcaa's from Primordial Performance ( instantized bcaa powder )

General health supps
Omega oils- fish, krill, flax, etc...
Multivitamin- Costco
Vit. C
Vit. D- 5000 to 10,000 iu's a day
Calcium
Antioxidants

Absolutely. Too many people waste their money on supplements when most of them just need to focus on their diet. Instead of using all their money on supplements, people should go to Jewel and spend that money on steak, chicken, and tuna.

True that.

Fish oil, flax seed oil, Multi, BCAA's, Humanofort, protien powder.

I don't know about essential, but this is what I keep in stock; protein, creatine, multivitamin, individual vitamins(B-complex and C), fish oil, glucosamine/chondroitin/msm

Smart decision!!!!

Tonalin CLA, ALA, Multi Vit/Mineral, L-Glutamine, Whey...

Consistent diet & exercise program...live the lifestyle

My list of essentials that don't get the limelight they deserve.

NAC, VitC, VitD, Magnesium

Multi and Fish Oil are a given as well.

Protein, Creatine (ON Mono tub), Multi, Pre-workout.

Multi, fish oil, D, coQ10, I personally like to take hyaluronic acid for my joints. Creatine and BCAAs as well.

Just wondering what are the essentials im currently not taking any atall not even a multi vid just hard work and food! and protien shakes of course.. Was just wondering what are really good supps in your opinions i dont get caught up in the hype of all the names out there xplde this and nitros that i think its all marketing shit!

So far all ive got in mind is a good multi vit maybe some creatine pills and glutamine maybe fish oil caps really dont know much about the supps market (legal ones any way) just wondering if any one could reccomend good ones!

Forget the glutamine - studies are conflicted as to whether it is effective or not, and IMO, unless you're a completely sedentary individual, it is useless (I did my meta-analysis on this for my degree).

As far as supplements, IMO the Basic Staples are:
* Creatine
* Multivitamin/antioxidant
* Good Fats
* Protein
* BCAAs

Just a note that depending on your body mass, you might be able to get all your good fats, protein, and BCAAs requirements from your diet.

As far as recommendations re the staples, based on personal experience:

Creatine
* Neovar Recomped
* Cre-02
* Kre-Alkalyn
* CreaPure

Multivitamin/antioxidant
* Activite Sport
* Orange Triad
* Adam
* Organic VitaBerry

Good Fats
* Hempseed Oil
* Flaxseed Oil
* Fish Oil
* Natural Nut Butters

Protein (without having to import it into the US)
* MuscleGel Shots
* Maximum Absorbed Protein
* MyoFusion
* Combat Powder

BCAAs
* BC+EAA
* IBCAA
* Purple Wraath
* Xtend

No worries and you're welcome

Ive seen ALA mentioned a few times here. Good stuff. For a good antioxidant supp, Vitaberry is one of my favs.
