What are the most essential supplements?

[Ish]

Do you think Ginger root helps that much? I was taking it for a couple months and really couldn't discern a difference. How much are you taking at a time?

I take 1 1000mg gelcap per meal... it has all but gotten rid of my heartburn and digestion problems.

PrimeRib has got it... food first, after you have more high quality food than you can eat, then worry about supps...

True. But you can't possibly get the number of vitamins and minerals you need from food alone. At least not as an athlete or bodybuilder... but I see your point... don't rely on supplements first...

Thanks for all the help guys.

Yesterday, I decided that I was going to get serious about lifting/eating/sleeping...no more screwing around...so expect to see more of me on these boards. I'm eating every 3 hours,
5-6 meals per day, sometimes with snacks in between. I'm trying to eat rather clean as well. Though, being at college makes that more difficult than if I was at home. I'm not doing too bad that way. Lots of pasta/grilled chicken.

Currently, I have:
Optimum Protein
Multi-Vitamin
ZMA (thought I'd give it a try...for the sleeping factor)
Vitamin C

I may pick up some:
Flaxseed oil (or do you guys suggest cod liver, or something else?)
Gplenish

Let me know what you think.
