Do you guys use any supplements?

[mayaann]

I like caffeine. I enjoy pre-workout and recently been paring it with pump. Other than that, creatine afterwards.

Just curious what y’all take?

 

[bcrich]

@mayaann I take a few but most are peed out...Coffee, Creatine, Fish oil, Vitamin D, and a Multivitamin.

 

[brianehall]

@bcrich This is the way

 

[bcrich]

@brianehall It's spelled whey. /s

 

[brianehall]

@bcrich Ha. I thought about spelling it like that, but whey gives me bad diarrhea so I try to avoid it (I switched to vegan protein).

 

[annsklan]

@bcrich Everything except Vitamin D for me. Vitamin D gave me quite horrible sleep patterns so had to cut it off. I would also add aswagandha - Ksm66.

 

[man_in_pain]

@annsklan What does Ksm66 do for you

 

[dawn16]

@bcrich Do multivitamins not contain enough vitamin D or why take it additionally?

 

[bgenterpriseevents]

@dawn16 Most people during winter lack Vitamin D (at least where I live, I've just done my blood work and I do too.

 

[thoushaltnorkill]

@bgenterpriseevents You need to drink vitamin d milk or go outside for 5 minutes of sun. If you don't get sunlight you don't get vitamin d

 

[fateeadams]

@thoushaltnorkill Depends on where you live. If the sun is too low in the sky, then you won't get your vitamin d fix.

 

[bcrich]

@dawn16 No real reason as the only supps that matters are the creatine and coffee.

 

[jamesldg2018]

@mayaann I'm currently using some of the products from PrimeGenix which were recommended to me by a friend. I'm specifically using the muscle mass stack which has a testosterone booster, whey protein isolate and pre-workout.

 

[imnotjokingwellnotmostly]

@mayaann Creatine and just caffeine from coffee

 

[2withjesus]

@mayaann Magnesium glycinate and Vitamin D.

Magnesium is great in many ways, keeps muscles healthy and keeps me perfectly regular ;-) Vitamin D, I believe, is more of a hormone and works in many more ways than people think.

Love my morning coffee.

 

[whiteybeefcake]

@2withjesus Too much supplemented vitamin D can have a depressive effect on your natural vitamin A production, affecting your immune system negatively. Unless you are deficient, I wouldn’t supplement vitamin D.

 

[erickbemis]

@whiteybeefcake i think most can benefit from a vit d supplement especially in the winter.

 

[cpf]

@whiteybeefcake I've never heard that...my understanding was it's stored in your fat and your body knows how to use it most efficiently and just disposes of what it doesn't use (obviously ANYTHING in too much is bad, but what I saw was it was difficult to actually do that with Vit D). Can you post links to that?

 

[whiteybeefcake]

@cpf This is the foundation of my statement, but to be clear I’m not saying no one should supplement vitamin d. I’m saying the first choice is to go outside. Unless you’re deficient, I don’t see the need to supplement synthetically.

 

[wordnord]

@whiteybeefcake Good luck getting sufficient vitamin D in the wintertime in certain countries even when being outside all day.
