Vitamins and minerals.

[Richard Kerr]

I take quite a lot of supplements, heres a list;

1. Creatine powder. (have never had problems with this)
2. Muti vitamins and minerals. Multibionta . (or this)
3. Cod liver oil. (or this)
4. Selenium and zinc. Holland and Barrat own brand. (or this)
5.Glucosamine sulphate. (or this)
6. Protein tablets. (or this)

A lot of people say I don't need them.I feel they are jumping the gun a bit but I reckon I am going a bit over board. Can anyone out there give me some sound guidence as I am a bit lost in the world of supplements at the moment and don't know which way to turn?

I imagine it would have a lot to do with what you are trying to accomplish.

I take multivitamins simply because otherwise I would overhydrate due to how much I lose through sweat or drinking water to rehydrate.

I take protein because I want to maintain muscle mass while cutting fat, and to help recovery.

I take glucosamine because I have a "touchy" joint and glucosamine regularly taken seems to help it whenever I mess it up.

I don't have any reason to take anything else, which is why I don't.

Thanks for your post, that is sound input.

Yeah

Thats a real good point, the goal is important. I take multi-vitamins just cause they are important. And I take coenzymeQ10- cause it helps a lot with bloodflow and the heart (cardio and muscle recovery).

Also protein is good for muscles. I take that with an extra amino acid.

So yeah.
