ight its supplement time

[shorty1454]

so I have never used supplements before but ima try some.

so the plan is

protein powder(mass gainer because of the carbs and calories, im aiming for 250 carbs,50 protein,and 1200 calories from 1 serving, most likely whey or casein, or a mix of both)

creatine: about 5 g a day

daily multivitamin

Pre workout(may include creatine in this one)

I know that most supplements dont do anything but for me at least these seem like good ones, anything wrong with my plan(im bulking btw)

Supplements are just that, to “supplement” your diet. Make sure you are eating correctly and then use those to fill in the gaps on your nutrition.

But those are the basics
Protein powder
Creatine
BCAA’s
Multi vitamin/minerals

Multi vitamins are not recommended without tests to show deficiencies exist or not.
Protein powder... Eh only if you can't fit in enough from meals. Rare for me that i use mine unless I'm super busy.
Creatine works, citruline malate seems to have some positive impact
BCAAs are pretty pointless if your diet is complete, which it should be before considering supplements

Some people like casein at night instead of eating a meal right before bed. Also, I use whey during every lifting session. So 80 grams of my daily protein is from planned from a powder. Protein powder can be part of the complete diet, rather than an exception on rare cases.

Fish oil, good if you don't get many omega 3s in your diet. Good for cardiovascular health, although not the anti inflammatory cure-all they were hyped up to be.

I forgot about fish oil. I take 12 fish oil pills a day. I also highly recommend these

Save yourself the trouble and take one tablespoon of Fish Oil or Cod Liver Oil which would have 14g of Omega 3 fats?

Caffeine, creatine, whatever form of protein your gut agrees with, casien at night, anything that improves sleep quality, anything that improves joint function (gelatin, collagen, fish oil and vitamin D all seem like they have some weird secondary mechanisms that help joint stuff), any antiinflammatories immediately after training that do not affect recovery hormesis (green tea extract, cbd oil, cherry juice, kratom, etc all seem to lower inflammation without ****ing up recivery). Probiotics might be a good idea too. For nothing else, higher protein diets tend to increase methanogenic belacteria in the gut. That's not only uncomfortable but it can **** up your want to eat. Beet root extract is promising as well.

I’ve never tried the liquid. Do you think it’s better?

Better than taking twelve pills a day? Yes.

You could argue that a tablespoon of Cod Liver is better in the sense that it has naturally occurring Vitamin D and Vitamin A not found in a standard capsule. Almost 1500 units of Vitamin D per tablespoon, which may save you from having to take that as a supplement.
