What exactly are the essentials?

[IGOR4233]

Anyway, I just wanted some opinions as to exactly where I should be in terms of supplements. Im 5'10, 190lbs. Been working out for about a year now, I dropped my BF from 24% to around 15%, and still going.

I'd like to continue to obviously increase muscle yet reduce fat. I already have the basics such as vitamins, protein, creatine, glutamine, hydroxycut (for this month), and CLA but I have friends suggesting things such as NO2. I just wanted to see if anyone could steer me in the right direction if I wanted to add any additional supplements. Ive heard good things about this NO2 product, but id easily consider something else.

Thanks!!!!

Uh, I thought that the "essentials" was the vitamins, protein, and real food. Everything else is just to supplement the "essentials".

I guess those are "essential supplements" but anyways, a few people on this bored rave the NO2 products, I ordered some, but am not taking it yet, but good work on shedding from 24% down to 15% thats alot of work, keep it up!!!!

ephedrine
multi-vitamins
fish oil caps
creatine (cycle it)
Vit B and E

just off my head, those are mine. I also use l_glut because I have it though I know it is probably useless and won't buy it again.

Supplements that I deem important include, but not limited to:

* Whey protein
* Multi-vitamin
* EFA's

Down the line, other supps that will help include:

* Thermogenic
* Cell-volumizer
* R+(ALA)

Good multi dose multivitamin and mineral supplement
EFA supplement( Flax oil or fish oil) assuming you don't consume a lot of salmon
Good protein powder, unless you can get all of your protein from your regular diet
Post workout shake


Down the road some people get good results from creatine, don't get suckered into anything fancy, regular creatine monohydrate in your post-workout shake is fine. An ephedrine supplement is also useful for soem but not a necessity.
