On my way to BUDS what supps shoudl I take?
Ok hello everyone thanks for any help you all give. I am leaving for BUDS in about 5 months I have to complete medic school first at Great Lakes. I was wondering what supps would benefit me in my training. In my quest to be a SEAL I have been training with a lot of running swimming and I lift 4 times a week. MY goals are probably differnt than a lot of you body builders. I dont care if I bench 500 lbs I need to run and run forever be able to do 20 pullups easy and swim like a fish. So its mostly endurance but I need power aswell but rep power like doing 30 dips and stuff like that. I was thinking of getting a good Multi Vitamin any favorite brands and also some glucosamine chondrotin for the wear and tear on the joints. Any other supps that would help me? Is there anything out there that can make your use of oxygen more efficient? Any suggestions would be appreciated thanks.

A good protein supplement would help you out alot. With those goals, just make sure you're getting in at least 1-1.5 grams of protein per bodyweight.
The multi-vitamin and the joint formula will also help alot...
As for other supplements, creatine won't help, because it doesn't assist with prolonging muscular endurance.....
Taking just a pure caffeine supplement would help, as caffeine increases mental accuity and can greatly assist you with added 'power endurance'....
Jdroks is right with the mental vs. physical aspect of things, but helping the physical side wouldn't hurt either....
Good luck bro....

Creatine helps a lot in the final sprint of an endurance race (and that's almost always the moment when you win or loose. The problem is to deal with the increased weight, and see if the power got by creatine couteracts the bad effects of the wheight gain (especially for swimming) got a couple of friend who do endurance cycling and prefer the chewable form of the creatine over the powdered form. Might try V12 as it is told (didn't try it myself though) you don't hold subcutaneous water. BCAA will be of a great help as the impact in running damage the muscular fibers a lot (BCAA would help rebuilding of damage muscular fibers). Glutamine would also be good as intensive training endurance tends to lower your immunity. And lots and lots of hard work and dedication.
