My daily supplements
I figured I would post what I take each day and why. What do you guys take and why?
Everything has a clear purpose but I also don't like taking too many so will downsize a little soon. My current supplements include...
Y.S. Eco Bee Farms, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis... antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. Rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and anti-oxidants. Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Great immune booster, helps cholesterol and increases nutrient/protein ulization etc.
Life Extension Once per day Health Booster- contains a variety of useful ingredients such as vitamins e and k, macaguard, saffron and lycopene. I use this for general health plus the fact it contains many very useful eye health supplements.
Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin... anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, heart, joints etc.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10... heart health, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
Ayush Herbs Carditone... blood pressure, heart, kidneys etc.
NOW Foods Pycnogenol... blood pressure, blood sugar, muscle soreness etc.
NOW Foods Blood Pressure Health... heart, blood pressure etc.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D... general/bone health, immunity, insulin sensitivity etc.
Sports Research Antarctic Krill Oil... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Animal Omega... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate... immune support, liver, sleep, recovery etc.
Now Food's Magnesium Threonate... cognitive function, sleep etc.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens... general health, regularity, immune system, energy etc.
Garden of Life Raw Fibre... regularity, digestion, elimination of toxins etc.
Synthetek's Synthergine... liver health, cortisol control and anxiety.
Before eating larger meals I also use the following products...
General... NOW Foods's Super Enzymes.
High Fat meals... Ox Bile by NutriCology.
Large dairy meals... CountryLife Dairy-Zyme.
High Carb meals... Musclerage's Slin-RX.
As mentioned I will be condensing the above soon. I will drop the Pycnogenol as it's not fully needed. I will condense the zinc and magnesium to a single ZMA product. Animal Omega will be dropped and I will just carry on with krill oil. I will be changing fibre products but still using one. Everything else I feel helps keep problem areas in range so is of benefit to me. The one per day health booster could be dropped but my eye sight has worsened over time so I plan to keep that in to help matters plus it's loaded with useful ingredients.

I eat right and I don’t take any of that stuff unless I’m actually on a cycle. That’s an insane amount of pills bro. That’s enough for one of my 6 meals.

Everyone has a different opinion. I am always telling guys they take too many supplements. However, many will say the same for myself and in the above case I would actually agree. It's not actually that many pills and I take them am/pm so easy to do. I do agree though and I am downsizing. I just had quite a few for different reasons but I don't like taking too many things. Many guys go overboard and sometimes could be even causing more harm than good. Everything I use has a purpose though.
I could do without many of these supps. I will downsize my list over the next few months. Probably to something like...
Life Extension Once per day Health Booster- contains a variety of useful ingredients such as vitamins e and k, macaguard, saffron and lycopene. I use this for general health plus the fact it contains many very useful eye health supplements.
Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin... anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, heart, joints etc.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10... heart health, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
Ayush Herbs Carditone... blood pressure, heart, kidneys etc.
NOW Foods Blood Pressure Health... heart, blood pressure etc.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D... general/bone health, immunity, insulin sensitivity etc.
Sports Research Antarctic Krill Oil... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens... general health, regularity, immune system, energy etc.
Synthetek's Synthergine... liver health, cortisol control and anxiety.
The above totals 11 pills per day so not excessive at all. Well 11 pills, 2 drinks from my synthergine bottle and 1-2 servings of green powder.
Just showing my thinking here and what I feel are most important to me. If I had to downsize again I think the core would be:
Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10.
Ayush Herbs Carditone.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens.
Synthetek's Synthergine.
The above is 6 pills maybe 7 if I take 2 carditone. Plus the greens and synthergine.
I think every bodybuilder or aas user should be on curcumin and ubiquinol. The problem with those 2 are they are both very expensive. But for the heart in general they are incredible supplements and they need to be from a high quality source.
I suffer from elevated blood pressure at times so carditone is essential and very effective. Right now I just dose 1 cap due to my magnesium use pre bed. Off ZMA I would use 2 caps per day.
Vitamin D is very important and luckily very cheap. It's not really needed in the summer but especially useful in the colder months. I use 2 tabs most of the year then 1 in summer.
I really like my greens formula as I don't eat that many greens. If I started eating more I could drop it though. Right now it's very useful and it's 1 supplement I really feel a difference from. It's also fantastic for ensuring regularity as I basically go the toilet within 30 mins of taking it everytime
Synthergine but on a budget only when using orals. However I like to use 2ml per day on off periods and 4-5ml when on orals.
I am also a big fan of ZMA for bodybuilders and hard workers/trainers in general. So I would run that in cycles through the year
Now I didn't count the digestive enzymes but I don't use them much. Literally 1-2 caps before larger meals and it's easy to do.
It probably looks more than it actually is when it's listed all out like that.
