Food of the Gods

Moderators, what are your daily supplements? I am not talking about AAS or ph/ps. Just want to know what vitamins/minerals/protein powders/etc. you take daily. Brand names and amounts would be appreciated. IMO this would be sticky material. If this is in the wrong section or has been stated b/4 I apologize. Peace.
 
AAS? Why those are illegal my friend, we cant use those ;)

I use Prolabs Creapure Creatine
Supplement Direct's Dextrose
Eclipse Pro Complex 24's Multi Vitamin
Universal Nutrition's Uni-liver (ow ow )
Syntrax Guggulbolic
Tri Cuts

Thats as of right now, I use optimum's 100% Whey for a protein source, I make my own meal replacements, All in all I dont think I spend too much on supps, which is better so I can save up for the goodies...what about you labrad?
 
The supps I take depend on what I'm doing - gaining or cutting, but I would say the core supp's that I always try to have on hand are:

bulk l-glutamine
Whey protein
homemade dextrose/maltodextrin
Liver tabs
Multi-vitamin
homemade zinc/magnesium
bulk creatine

I also make my own meal replacements with whey, flax, and oatmeal.

If I'm cutting I'll add an ECA to the above mix.

Jorta
 
YJ, since you asked.

A multi - Centrum
B- Complex
Vitamin C (BTW, I used to take an vit. A,C, and E until you (YJ) hipped me to watch out for fat soluble vitamins)
Creatine 5 grams/day
Glutamine powder 10 grams (probably won't re-up when it is out)
Uni-liver again b/c of YJ. I only take 6 spread out thru-out the day. That is all my girlfriend will let me take (they give me the winds something awful).
Saw Palmetto - I am in my eary 30's and a healthy prostate is important to me.
ALA about 600 mgs/day. I cant' take any more. This stuff really hurts my stomach. I won't re-up.
Zinc 60 mgs.
Optimum Whey.
Ripped Fuel Exterme - I am cutting or trying to.

That is a lot of sh*t, but it really does not cost that much.
 
Multi Vitamin
Vit-C
ALA
V-12
Complete Protein Diet w/ oatmeal added. None of that dextrose junk you guys keep shoven down your throats!
Zinc/Mag
Liver tabs

Cutting- Too numerous to mention and I have secrets that you boys will never figure out!!!!! :D

The multi I take is 2x daily, so I just take one dose along w/12-18 liver tabs daily.
 
I take 4-6 liver tabs a day. One after every meal. This is all my girlfriend will let me. Flatulence reasons.

O.K. let's go thru the pharmacy 1 more time. 1. Glutamine- once I finish, I will not re-up. 2. I take an ECA (Twinlab's Ripped Fuel) instead of your 2-4. I take a multi as well as a B-complex and Vitamin C. Zinc. Uni-Liver 6 tabs/day. ALA- will not re-up and am done with. Creatine and whey- of course. Saw palmetto - yeah. It's not that bad for me.

The zinc as well? Liver tabs has this covered? My girlfriend will pull the riot act on me (cause of the gas), but anyway. Zinc? What happened to the zinc b/4 bedtime to keep t-levels elevated? Not trying to be an ass, just would like to here your opinion. Peace.

I personally thing zina supplementation as well as ZMA is highly over rated, but Zina will not actual raise test levels, only return them to a normal level, so if you're not just coming off a cycle, I cant see much use for zma. Liver tabs contain a trace amount of zinc, but on top of a bulking diet, you're getting enough zinc.
 
As of right now: stench tabs(15-18), whey, dextrose, ALA, zinc, b-complex, started creatine(optimum) today. Along with the squirts. Oh yeah, I like the night time formula from protein factory with flax.

If you're taking 18 liver tabs and more b-complex on top of that, you're pissing most of your b vitamins out.

I'll admit this will save me a little $. But it's not like a multi,zinc, and B-Complex are breaking me. Further, for just pennies more, I am getting more vitamins. As always, respect the sh*t out of your opinion. Peace.

You may want to rethink the milk. LOTS of simple sugars. I lowered the amount I drink per day.

As far as vitamins I switched to Ester-C it stays in the system longer and is not degraded by stress like regular vit C is.

I use a multi which needs to be taken 3 times a day.

ALA 1000mgs when I am not taking slin.

Vit E 400.

Milk Thistle

Ginger Root for better protein absorbtion.

Creatine.

I don't take glutamine since the protein I take has it already.

I think there are a couple more, I am too lazy to go down stairs and look.
 
i have to agree with yj on this one (giner root) ive taken it in the past, thinking the same deal crowler (well, more for protein digestion than absorption) its cheap....but there's a reason why. Not essential or necessary by any means. here's my list

multi-vit, flax with meal one
half daily eca dosage before workout
source of simple carbs during workout
dext/malt/honey mix with 30-35g's protein (whey), vit-C 1000mg's post workout
flax with first whole meal after workout
flax and vit-C at night with last meal.

those being the basics w/ these incorporate depending on what im doing: eas phosagen hp creatine (its cheaper per serving than most pure creatine + dext), opt100%/eas simply/ or sportsone whey2 protein in bulk tubs, metrx protein+/musclemilk/prov60/myoplex/ or problend for blend/mrp.
zma/trib/6-oxo for post cycle. pretty simple

Add 250 grams of oatmeal in there, that is an awesome MRP + weightgainer bar none.

If you have a problem with lactose, BEANO to the rescue!  :D

The basic is always the best.

Ginger root (about 1,500-2,000mg) has worked well for me when I take in longer amounts of protein at a sitting (50-80 grams).

If you are taking in around 30 grams of protein a sitting it is probably not needed.

Thanks Steve for taking the time to give some more info and help to educate some of us.

Unlike this post which to me was confusing and adds nothing in the way of helping other board members.

You should be able to take a compliment.

Perhaps you should look at Steves post now wouldn't you agree it is just a BIT more helpful???

I did NOT understand your post hence my confusion.

It would be much appreciated if you could clarify it.

I am a newbie and trying to learn.

Sorry man, but I dont need your approval or permission to make a post. Nor do you need to talk down to me and say my post adds nothing to this board, if you look around, Ive done quite a bit for this board, forgive me for making 1 post that doesnt meet your standards.

Anyways, can you point me in the direction of a LEGIT study that shows GR is approved for fitness application? No. There's not one. Not many people get 80 grams of protein in 1 sitting unless you're a pro bodybuilder and you're bulking. So GR is a waste of money or your average joe and novice bodybuilder.

GR is deisgned to reduce motion sickness, nausea and vomiting. It contains an enzyme that aids in GI track's stability and free movement. This is for extremely high protein diets. I dont know how much you weight, but unless you're consuming about 375+ grams of protein a day, its not needed.

I think you misunderstood.

I do NOT know for sure if it helps or not. That is why I am asking YOU>

As I say I am a newbie so I was hoping you might expand on why it is a waste of money to use ginger root.



A what amount of protein intake would you recommend ginger root or do you think it is useless?

I just figured for a few pennies a day it is worth a shot.

I guess I will now reconsider.

Thanks for the help.
 
If you have the money and you feel it is helping, by all means continue use. But dont let the placebo fool you, I personally dont think there are any noticeable signs of positive results physically, maybe physiologically. Take those pennies and put them towards some liver tabs. ;)

I agree when I take slin my protein shake has 70 grams of protein so I figure do the Ginger root just incase.
 
Can someone tell me why anyone should use liver tabs? This is the waste organ of the body, why would I want this as a supplement?

Theres a FAQ I wrote up, just another one of my useless, posts here. And dont get the liver and kidney's mixed up.
 
All I can say is prove it. I can get everything that link says liver tabs has without taking in whatever else it has in it. It is the waste organ for godsakes!! Toxins are filtered thru the liver.
