Hi all,
30 yr old male from the uk if its relevant....
Basically a bit of a gym noob, been kinda going on and off my whole life and now want to start taking it seriously. I have been going for around 9/10 months now and have had some improvements to my body.
I dont really track my macros, been meaning to do this but I eat 4/5 meals a day and I would say im meso/ectomorph (inbetween)
Just wondering if there is any golden supplements I should take, understand this question has probably come up a lot but I want to know specifics. I currently take a Holland and Barretts own brand Multi Vit and Multi Mineral supplements (purchased today)
I take myprotein Whey as well as Creatine @5mg daily mixed in with the whey shake.
Should there be anything else really? And should I move away from this creatine and buy a better one as I see people rave on about creatine a lot! So unsure if brand matters or not.
Cheers

Creatine is the only supplement that I think everyone who lifts should take, simply because there's literally no reason not to.
Other than that, like above, focus on your diet. Whey powder is fine if you fall a bit short of your protein goal for the day, but a lot of people start to rely too heavily on it and end up neglecting actual foodBP: 280

Look into Oximega Fish Oil for a quality product.

The golden things are nutrition, routine, and rest. You don't seem to have any idea what your macros are, start there. You probably need a better routine, see Workout Programs about that.
The "basics" I'd generally use as a baseline are creatine, fish oil (aim for 2-3g combined EPA/DHA per day unless you regularly get Omega 3's in your diet), possibly a multi vitamin, and protein as needed to hit your daily goal/macro.

If you're not going to bother taking nutrition seriously, you shouldn't be wasting money on supps, as you're already wasting training with a poor dietary plan.
