Supplements To Compliment Exercise?

Xenji

Long story short, I suffered a serious back injury that has taken about two years to finally heal to a state where I can finally exercise normally again.

I am about 5'10 and 11 stone, in no way overweight, probably underweight, but in the last year or so I have put on quite a bit of weight on my stomach and chest that I want to get rid of or more so tone up.

I have been exercising for the last month, 10-15k a day on the exercise bike and about 40 mins on free weights and an ab roller, I am feeling a lot better in myself being able to do it again, but was wondering should I be taken certain vitamins or other supplements to compliment the daily exercises, as before the injury I had a quite good physique that I did not have to work at much?

Food.

Maybe some D3.

The key is in the name: supplements - they should be supplemental to your diet so the first thing to do is address that. Have you taken a look at the stickies on diet yet?

Yep had a look through it, but I have always been health conscious with my diet, I never really had to pay major attention to the more nuanced aspects of fitness till now, I have the basics down, but anything else that will help on top of foods and exercise would be a great bonus.

They are all temporary, no supplements will last forever.
No matter how big a tub of whey you buy, it wall always run out eventually.
I heard that companies have actually invent tubs of permanent protein but they refuse to sell them as it could put them out of business.

you need no supplements or structured programming , all you need is to
