top 5 supplements

[Babyfaced Assassin]

What do you think are top 5 Supplements you should use as a necessity... Please list brand name if you can

Mine would be

1. Reflex Whey Protein (post workout with dextrose)
2. Multi Vitamin and Mineral
3. Flax Oil (Udo's Oil)
4. Sport Flex Glucosomine Suplfate with Fish Oils
5. Alpha Lipoic Acid

I believe that's really all i need to stay lean and healthy
maybe creatine might have a place on that list

What do u guys think are "Essentials"
what do u thik i've missed out?

 

[sawastea]

Nice topic, BFA. Here are mine:

1) Whey (Optimum Nutrition 100% whey)
2) Optimum Nutrition Opti-Men (time released multi-vitamin)
3) PWO supps (includes dextrose and maltodextrin)
4) EFA's (Udo's, Borleans, Labrada, NOW)
5) Thermo's (I'm a guinea pig when it comes to thermos and supps). In this list, it includes R+, ephedrine, and anything else that I consume

Very broad range for #5, what can I say

Without question, the most effective are..

1...Unleashed (the only product that raises testosterone)

2...Post-Cycle (cleans liver, lowers estroen, improve slibido. Think of it as ZMA PLUS)

3...ZIP! (Non stimulant fat burner. Pro Thyroid formula)

4...Combo of unflavored ion exchange whey, micellar casien, and whole egg protein (I mix my own flavorings and sweetening)

5...Glucosomine/Controiton/ MSM (Essential for healthy joints)

That's what I take every day.

Add in a good vit/mn and you really don't need anything else.

[JKurz1]

Aside from training, rest and food....I gotta say:

Whey
Multi-vit
glutamine
EFA's
amd creatine

 

[lucidblue]

Hmmm... for me:

Optimum Whey (chocolate)
Glucosamine and Chondroitin
Ultra Mega Women's Multi Vitamin
Glucorell-R

Hard to only have 5. Can't decide on my 5th. Let's see, it would definitely be NYC if it still existed (I miss it). Right now I also take Beverlay ZMA, Melatonin, Valerian Root, Vitamin E-400, Thermorexin and Vitamin C.

If I could find something to help with some stomach problems that would be my 5th choice. I've tried ginger root, but it didn't work. I've been trying the NOW Super Enzymes, but they aren't helping much either.

 

[Isaac79]

1. Optimum Nutrition 100% Whey Protein
2. Prolab Creatine (creapure)

I guess you could also add dextrose. But IMO most other supps like glutamine are overhyped and expensive, but some people like them. I buy Met-RX when its cheap, I know some people hate them, but I like their protein shakes. Otherwise I add non-fat dry milk to whey to slow absorbtion, I know it has carbs, but it doesn't bother me. I really try to focus on eating high protein foods, instead of drinking shakes all day, or popping a bunch of pills all the time.

2.Glucorell-R
3.Animal Pak Multivitamin
4.GLC 2000 (glucosomine/condroitin)
5.Tie - Thermorexin or Flax Seed Oil

 

[Synpax]

I wouldn't consider flax seed oil a supplement; it's a dietary component (fat). It's where I get almost all of my fat.

I'm glad to see all of the ON fans. I am eagerly awaiting my order of pro complex and 100% whey.

 

[Little_Rage]

protein powder
flax seed + fish oil
multi-vitamin
thermo's
garlic

 

[Deleted member 33117]

Assuming viamins and minerals are not being counted, in order:
1. flax seed oil
2. fish oil
3. BCAA's
4. all other essential amino acids
5. creatine

 

[2nyce]
