What supplements are you taking?

Hey guys,
Just wondering what supplements are you taking that you find most effective for your goals?

Started taking Nutrition X whey protein and arent finding the results very good, so looking for recommendations!
Hearing good things about LA muscle products so anyone got anything to say on them?
Thanks!

How can food "not work"??

In answer to the question:

Fish oil
Flaxseed oil
Multi-vitamin
Whey
Caffeine
Peanut butter (I treat it like a food supplememt)
Zinc & magnesium.

The simpler the better.

What's in flax seed oil that you don't get from fish oils?

The only ones I take myself are fish oils and zinc. I am terrible at remembering to take them though.

jacko id like to say that if people seem gruff here its because we sorta seen it all before


the best way to get big or get strong (or best get big and strong) is eat things that had a face, lift heavy and complex and to add more to the bar as often as possible.

supplements come after your're doing that

The fish oil I take is omega 3,
The flaxseed oil has omega 3, omega 6 & omega 9.
I'm not overly keen on the extra omega 6 but the 9 Im glad to be getting in.

depends on which omega 6 oil it is though. Gamma linoleic acid is a w6 whose action is anti-inflammatory. w9 are non essential fatty acids.

Just a tesco brand one.
100 or 200 tabs per bottle.

Dosage is meant to be one a day, I'd normally have 3.

Whey.

Caffeine doesn't count, it's one of the two essential macronutrients along with bits of dead animals
