    Essential Supplements

    Want to discuss the minimum amount of supplements that truly work and are a must for us who train our asses off. What Im taking:

    -Vitamin Mineral Supplement
    -Joint Supplement
    -BCAA for either intra or post workout and upon waking in the morning
    -A post workout supplement or concoction. I make my own up with an Iso whey, Dextrose, and creatine
    -A pre-workout if needed/wanted, but not 100% necessary

    I think this is bare minimum, but maybe all you really need. I feel like the supplement industry is making a fucking killing off us! There is no need to go overboard. Gear or no gear.

    Now, add in gear, things get bumped up with the addition of:

    -Taurine
    -Vit E
    -Vit C
    -Garlic
    -Cayenne
    -Liv52
    -Vit D3
    -Fish oil

    I think this is about it. But want to get feedback on what everyone else's thoughts are. Over the last few years I have stopped being drawn into all the BS supplements and really dialed it down. I think we have all been there. Gimmick after gimmick with no results. So what are all your minimums and extras that you feel are necessary.

    Damn...I wish I had all my money back from the list of bullshit supplements I have been scammed to buy and probably still do at times...guilty as charged! So since you all know my liver count predicament, I had stopped using all OTC supplements...yes only the good ones I am taking now lol...and now just started back with:

    Multi-vitamin pack
    B Complex
    Krill/Fish Oil
    TUDCA
    NAC
    St. John's Wart
    Cellucor C4 PWO
    BCAA's

    Starting back out with a few to see about getting rid of all non-essentials!!! Like you OG, I have others I include on cycle like Liver 52 & Taurine...but keeping things simple right now.
    Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility count others more significant than yourselves. (Philippians 2:3)

    We can do all things through Christ who strengthens us! (Philippians 4:13)
