I keep it simple:
Fish oil - joint health and heart health
Intramax - creatine, betaine, taurine, glutamine, hydromax - all solid staples if your goal is strength, size, and performance
preworkout of choice - mainly for stims and focus (typically using Hypermax or PES Prolific)

Whats huperzine? Not heard of this one.
It’s an AChE inhibitor. Basically, it keeps acetylcholine levels up by preventing it from being broken down. So it provides similar effects as choline but from a different angle. I find it goes very well with a choline source, and also a racetam or Noopept. I use NootropiMax daily pretty often for my nootropic and energy needs (as it provides huperzine, choline, Noopept, etc).

Also daily:

Creatine
Betaine
Vitamin D
Kyolic Garlic
Spirulina

Some more stuff too, but this is a solid base IMO.

Nothing fancy for me - fish oil and Scivation Flexatril.

If I wasn't cutting, I'd be taking Gut Health. I feel I only need it when calories are way up but should probably take it year around though.

Creatine, betaine, ZMA. Vit D3 if you dont get a lot of sun. LCLT might not be bad everyday to, I’m sure there’s a saturation point, and a maintenance intake like creatine and betaine. Which makes ergonine perfect.

I usually take ergonine preworkout fasted. Though not sure about betaine, LCLT and creatine seems to be best suggested in an environment with raised insulin.

COQ10
Krill Oil

I take them because I'm old, and so if you are young, you probably don't need to take the COQ10
The Krill oil is better than Fish Oil AFAIK, and there are quite a few benefits, just like Fish Oil.

An occasional bit of Shilajit in my coffee.

Whats huperzine? Not heard of this one.
For memory...never realized exactly how goid it was until i started using it for about 10 months preparing for exam.
Basically, it keeps acetylcholine levels up by preventing it from being broken down. So it provides similar effects as choline but from a different angle. I find it goes very well with a choline source, and also a racetam or Noopept.
It's also great pre-workout. Provides an great, long lasting and very clear focus.

Creatine mono
Creatine can cause stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and muscle cramping. Creatine causes muscles to draw water from the rest of your body. You experienced, boss?

Drink more water and the hydration isn't an issue. Intracellular water retention from creatine supplementation can be viewed as a good thing in regards to performance assuming adequate hydration. You can also minimize stomach upset by skipping the loading phase, which isn't necessary, and not taking more than 3-5g, as this dose is sufficient to achieve saturation after a little while.

Highly underrated. Potential benefits such as BP, cholesterol and GDA action. Along with fat loss due to potential impact on thyroid
I've been taking Olive Leaf Extract for over 10 years straight. Maybe even 12.

I'm almost 38 and look 25. Not saying that has anything to do with it but....

Since Olive leaf extract has been found to naturally kill many virus types, would there be a good chance that it would the new Zika virus as well?

Isn't Nettle pretty well known for its DHT blocking properties or am I wrong on that?
