For clarification, I’m not referring to things like surge, spike, prohormones, stimulants, etc…I’m referring to those things that are more along the lines of fish oils, vitamin D, etc. What are the ones that you consider VITAL…where you tell someone “you don’t supplement with X, why not??”
Obviously Flameout(or other fish oils, I guess) should be there, Vitamin D seems to be pretty big these days, I’m reading more about Vitamin K and apple cider vinegar in a number of places. What other supps do you guys swear by?
definitely cinnamon, coconut oil, EVOO, Turmeric, low dose aspirin, b-vitamins, DMAE for the noggin, and just generally eat a shitload of spinach and tomatoes
Not sure what you mean by non-supp supps,do you mean general benefits,rather than simply training supplements?
The line gets blurred between food and supps after a point as well.
Apple Cider Vinegar* (good for the joints too)
Green Tea
Coffee
Nicotine patches*
Fish Oil and/or Flaxseed (ground,NOT oil)
Coconut Oil
Chilli Sauce or mustard (I like the taste,but will add it to foods whether I fancy it or not,for the metabolism/energy boost,and it really clears out mucus)
Ginseng & Ginkgo Biloba (Or Ginseng & Royal Jelly vials sometimes,cycle on and off both)
-Tiger Muscle Rub (From the makers of Tiger Balm-In my opinion,EVERY serious athlete or lifter should have a stash of this,forget deep heat,etc. this is the original old,old school shit! I use it after a hard session,before a session if stiff,or for DOMS,or when I need to warm up fast.It’s a natural healing analgesic/anaesthetic)
-Sugar Free Jelly (Jell-O in US) Crystals, I add them to my shakes (plain whey not that tasty) and I THOROUGHLY recommend it if you have plain whey or even to make your regular one taste better
