I figured I would post what I take each day and why. What do you guys take and why?

Everything has a clear purpose but I also don't like taking too many so will downsize a little soon. My current supplements include...

Y.S. Eco Bee Farms, Royal Jelly, Bee Pollen, Bee Propolis... antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antioxidant and anti inflammatory properties. Rich in vitamins, minerals, enzymes, amino acids and anti-oxidants. Reduces inflammation and oxidative stress. Great immune booster, helps cholesterol and increases nutrient/protein ulization etc.
Life Extension Once per day Health Booster- contains a variety of useful ingredients such as vitamins e and k, macaguard, saffron and lycopene. I use this for general health plus the fact it contains many very useful eye health supplements.
Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin... anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, heart, joints etc.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10... heart health, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
Ayush Herbs Carditone... blood pressure, heart, kidneys etc.
NOW Foods Pycnogenol... blood pressure, blood sugar, muscle soreness etc.
NOW Foods Blood Pressure Health... heart, blood pressure etc.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D... general/bone health, immunity, insulin sensitivity etc.
Sports Research Antarctic Krill Oil... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Animal Omega... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Thorne Research Zinc Picolinate... immune support, liver, sleep, recovery etc.
Now Food's Magnesium Threonate... cognitive function, sleep etc.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens... general health, regularity, immune system, energy etc.
Garden of Life Raw Fibre... regularity, digestion, elimination of toxins etc.
Synthetek's Synthergine... liver health, cortisol control and anxiety.

Before eating larger meals I also use the following products...

General... NOW Foods's Super Enzymes.

High Fat meals... Ox Bile by NutriCology.

Large dairy meals... CountryLife Dairy-Zyme.

High Carb meals... Musclerage's Slin-RX.


As mentioned I will be condensing the above soon. I will drop the Pycnogenol as it's not fully needed. I will condense the zinc and magnesium to a single ZMA product. Animal Omega will be dropped and I will just carry on with krill oil. I will be changing fibre products but still using one. Everything else I feel helps keep problem areas in range so is of benefit to me. The one per day health booster could be dropped but my eye sight has worsened over time so I plan to keep that in to help matters plus it's loaded with useful ingredients.

NOW brand policosanol! There are many studies on pubmed showing policosanol to be very effective at reducing cholesterol

Yes I have used it a lot but it's not in now as I find out things superior. It's in NOW's Sytrinol product which is great. Sytrinol itself is very effective but it also contains a full dose (10mg) policosanol which is a bonus.

I find one of the best things for cholesterol is Citrus Bergamot which I am also not using now but will do in the future. That can have a dramatic effect on all cholesterol blood markers. NOW Food's Cholesterol Pro contains it but I also like the Reserveage brand. When I start avar I will definitely be adding in citrus bergamot and keeping it in months after as avar destroys my HDL reading :eek:

Awesome info brother, I did a quick internet search for both of those and now I'll be sitting here reading for the next 2 hours!

this article references several studies, very useful information

https://niemagazine.com/closer-look-bergamonte-heart-health-2/

looks like I'll be adding in Bergamonte

Another great thread, Elvia. I'm constantly telling my buddies gear is the cheap part. It's the health supps and food that cost an arm and a leg.

Another great thread, Elvia. I'm constantly telling my buddies gear is the cheap part. It's the health supps and food that cost an arm and a leg.

Thank you and very true when it comes to cost. Although I could do without many of these supps. I am on more of a budget now so will downsize my list over the next few months. Probably to something like...

Life Extension Once per day Health Booster- contains a variety of useful ingredients such as vitamins e and k, macaguard, saffron and lycopene. I use this for general health plus the fact it contains many very useful eye health supplements.
Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin... anti inflammatory, anti oxidant, heart, joints etc.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10... heart health, cholesterol, blood pressure etc.
Ayush Herbs Carditone... blood pressure, heart, kidneys etc.
NOW Foods Blood Pressure Health... heart, blood pressure etc.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D... general/bone health, immunity, insulin sensitivity etc.
Sports Research Antarctic Krill Oil... general/heart health, cholesterol, joints etc.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens... general health, regularity, immune system, energy etc.
Synthetek's Synthergine... liver health, cortisol control and anxiety.

Just showing my thinking here and what I feel are most important to me. If I had to downsize again I think the core would be:

Life Extension Super Bio-Curcumin.
Life Extension Super Ubiquinol Co Q10.
Ayush Herbs Carditone.
Jarrow Formula's Vitamin D.
Paradise Herbs ORAC Energy Greens.
Synthetek's Synthergine.

I think every bodybuilder or aas user should be on curcumin and ubiquinol. The problem with those 2 are they are both very expensive. But for the heart in general they are incredible supplements and they need to be from a high quality source.

I suffer from elevated blood pressure at times so carditone is essential and very effective. Right now I just dose 1 cap due to my magnesium use pre bed. Off ZMA I would use 2 caps per day.

Vitamin D is very important and luckily very cheap. It's not really needed in the summer but especially useful in the colder months. I use 2 tabs most of the year then 1 in summer.

I really like my greens formula as I don't eat that many greens. If I started eating more I could drop it though. Right now it's very useful and it's 1 supplement I really feel a difference from. It's also fantastic for ensuring regularity as I basically go the toilet within 30 mins of taking it everytime :D

Synthergine but on a budget only when using orals. However I like to use 2ml per day on off periods and 4-5ml when on orals.

I am also a big fan of ZMA for bodybuilders and hard workers/trainers in general. So I would run that in cycles through the year.

I need to add some things but currently I'm not taking much of anything. I don't even use a multi-vitamin/mineral anymore.

What dose do you use?

Not him but it's great for cholesterol (and possibly liver health) plus lowering blood glucose levels. I think it's one of the best cholesterol supplements you can use as it can have a significant impact on upping HDL whilst lowering total cholesterol (triglycerides and LDL).

I haven't matey. I know Jeff Long (Like a Pro supps) is bringing out an all in one health supplement that looks like it should be great. My current supp list is very small now. Moving forward I want to stick with a few core supps. The main areas I am concerned about are general heart heart, blood pressure and cholesterol. I think it should be the same for most bodybuilders. I have also just restarted synthergine as well as I will be adding in adrol/winny tomorrow :D I will update this thread with a new list in a few weeks. Right now I am only using 4 products.

I don't know how they can sell that for the price it is. Makes me question if everything is accurately dosed.

I feel the same and many others have posted just that on various forums. It's literally impossible to be able to sell those ingredients at that price and make a profit. Guys buy it for the label though. Who knows what it contains but I won't be ordering.

Breakfast
bread and egg

Lunch
fruit and vegetable

Dinner
meet and vegetables

Thanks for your excellent input.
