Would you recommend glucosamine or MSM supplements for 19 year olds who have no joint problems at all? Just to keep the joints lubed up?

Hey for anyone who uses Primal Defense Ultra, it says its shelf stable, but do you guys refrigerate the bottles anyway?

Does anyone know the best protein for a low carb high protein diet?

Too many good brands out there, but look for a whey isolate product as isolate is lactose free meaning that it should have no to low carbs.

MSM, but I would check out Animal Flex. I have never met a single person who hasn't liked the results of this product.

- sometimes I get excited and forget to look at the post date.......

I take atm is weight gainer what else should I take? To increase mass without getting too much fat.

Check out the nutrition section of bb.com and you will find all of the information about diet for adding mass. I would suggest using food as opposed to a weight gainer - what gainer are you using?

i only take fish oil and a multi. heh

[skyhigh2]

Currently I'm only taking a pre-workout supplement and protein. I'm also taking a random multi-vitamin and super omega EPA. is there anything else I should take? i was reading on the Fitness section that Vitamin D and Creatine are suggested. If so, can someone recommend me brands? Also looking for a good multi-vitamin brand. Is there a point to taking both Vitamin D and Multi-Vitamin? Thanks.

My "stack" consists of:

-) multi: Controlled labs Orange Triad, taking the full dose at 6 pills a day (2/2/2 spread out)
-) omega 3: Now Foods Ultra Omega 3, taking 3 pills a day (1/1/1 spread out)
-) protein: whey isolate taken with milk each morning and taken with water post workout on training days

I'm considering of adding a creatine like Green Magnitude from controlled labs but I'm wondering if this would give me any long term strength and size gains? I've read that once you stop creatine, you lose the extra gains that creatine brought you too. True??

Dhea, that's all.

1.On Breakfast- a cup of green tea, half a grapefruit, and a slice of toast with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
2. Lunch-Delicious, healthy food doesn't have to contain a lot of ingredients.
3. Dinner- Just eat light meals on dinner.

Hey folks, i have a bottle of AI Sports "Life Support", and it expires next month, i was wondering if it was okay to still use after June when it expires? heres a link to the supplement http://www.bodybuilding.com/store/ai/life.htm

Hey guys, I recently joined the army. My MOS is airborne infantry and I am an army ranger candidate.

Over the last few months I've been running a lot and I've gotten a lot better. Obviously, running is important in the military so this is a good thing.

The problem is that I spent the last year and a half bulking up from 125 to 175 in muscle. Since I began running four months ago, I have dropped back to 145.

I know that when I run I will obviously drop weight. I'm just wondering if anyone (especially someone in the military now) knows of a certain group of supps I should take that could help me not only to decrease my run time but also maintain and maybe even build more muscle. I know creatine is a bad idea because it can bloat u up with a bunch of water weight.

any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you

We should have a thread that is geared more towards supplements for overall health rather than just the ergogenic supplements.

After some help from a few great forum members (Peter and chasin) I have come up with, what I feel, is a pretty decent arrangement of supplements that I will order today and begin next week. Please add your contributions to this thread so that we may hopefully have a nice array of ideas and suggestions.

1. Country Life Omega 3 Mood- I picked this because it is manufactured in a cGMP facility, and each serving provides 1,000mg of EPA with only 150mg of DHA, total of 2,000 mg of fish oil coming from sardines and anchovies

2. NOW Ubiquinol- After doing some of my own research and reading some of the testimonials of some individuals on this forum (jkeith, des, cognitivenutrition, etc.) I decided to go with the Kaneka QH reduced Ubiquinol. NOW is a brand that I trust, and NOW provides 100mg of Ubiquinol in 60 softgels.

3. Jarrow Formulas SAMe 400mg- I have previously taken another brand of SAMe @ 800mg per day with great results (positive outlook wise). I am going to begin with 400mg this time, and move it up to 800 and see if I notice any difference. SAMe is rather expensive, so if I can get away with using 400mg a day I would be happy.

4. AOR Advanced B- Complex- chasin provided some great information on this in a few earlier threads discussing the importance of B supplementation when taking SAMe, not to mention all of the other great health benefits that come along with a B-Complex.

5. Garden of Life Primal Defense Ultra OR RPN Gut Health- I've spoken about GOL Primal Defense Ultra for years now, I simply love that product and think it is one of the best products I have ever used. Gut Health intrigues me, and while it is extremely unfortunate that it is going out of production, I am sure that it's replacement will be just as good if not better than it's predecessor.

6. Kyolic Garlic Cardiovascular Formula 100- I have taken this for quite a while also. Garlic has purported cardiovascular benefits, along with the known antimicrobial properties.

7. Solaray Oil of Oregano- This can be used topically or internally, I personally drink 5 drops in some water every day for it's antimicrobial properties, as well as to help the probiotic keep any candida at bay.

8. Emergen-C- I am taking this because I have about 30 packs left over.

So there you have it, thoughts and suggestions are appreciated, and please add your own stack if you have one!

This tablet give you you magical results. For More Details Visit metagenicsestrovera.blog.com/2014/06/09/say-good-bye-to-stress-with-our-effective-natural-supplements-2/

I read that broccoli has higher protein as compared to meat. Is this true?

[liujiao562]

good tips!

[deanallday]

After a few years of using supplements and trying the ridiculous amount of supplements offered by the AAFES stores in the military the stack I have got the best results from/enjoyed taste and effect and found at a great price to man!
I stack up Musclerev Xtreme, Revtest, Endorev, and Prorev. You can get them all at "revlabs" and get 50% on any purchase with an awesome code : ALLDAY (Not just once I have used it multiple times)

The organic nutriment supplements have had a good boost within the late markets. The individual area unit usually choosing the organic merchandise as extremely effective and are utterly dedicated to learning human health. They provide a far better management over health and increase the immunity so as to fight with the external factors which will negatively have an effect on your well being.

[henryvg]

That is good but i think so natural way is better.

Resveratrol?

These three I take on a regular basis :

NOW Maca High Potency - I take this for energy, anxiety relief, stress relief, an over all "pick-me-up", and it is actually beneficial for people struggling with libido and hormonal fluctuations. It also helps some people with weight loss/gain, though to me, I only noticed my butt got bigger (which for some, that may be a good thing! lol)

NOW Vitamin D3 1,000 IU - I use this for over all hair, skin, nail, and bone health. It is great for teeth as well. If you are even slightly D3 deficient, it can rec your body and make it hard to lose weight or even gain muscle.

Chia Seeds - LOVE THESE! They make fat melt off of you and replace the fat with great nutrition! They helped me lose about 25 pounds in 3 months with no dietary changes and no added work out routines.
