SUPPLEMENTS

This is not meant to be an overly exhaustive list, these are simply the supplements I take off and on, and recommend for others as well.  Some of these are more for sport performance, and some are more for health.  Choose the supplement based on your personal needs.   

In researching a Supplement I use primarily two resources:

1. Examine.com 
2. Labdoor.com

While I recommended the brands below, there are many other brands and products which may be just as good.

Multi-Vitamin: Pure Encapsulations ONE
Antioxidant complex includes Alpha Lipoic acid and a blend of CoQ10 and sustained release water-soluble nanosized. MicroActive® Q10. Choline and inositol for healthy cognitive function. Supports cellular health with 500 mcg lycopene and 2,000 i.u. vitamin D. Helps maintain macular and retinal health with 3 mg. lutein and 500 mcg zeaxanthin.

Apart from the above description a few things that make this unique:

  • Higher Vitamin D Content - 2,000IUs
  • Real Folate vs. Folic Acid - Metafolin® L-5-methyltetrahydrofolate (L-5-MTHF)
  • Lycopene - 500 mcg
  • Lutein - 3mg
  • Zeaxanthin - 500mcg
  • Bio-Available Form of Vitamin B12, - Methylcobalamin (Compared to Cyanocobalamin)

VITAMIN D/K2 LIQUID - THORNE RESEARCH

  • Vitamin D/K2 liquid contains vitamin K2 and vitamin D. Vitamin K2 exerts a more powerful influence on bone than does vitamin K1. Vitamin K2 is a series of molecules known as menaquinones. The most common and well studied of the menaquinones is MK-4.
  • Thorne's vitamin K2 is MK-4 and is derived from bacterial fermentation; thus, there is no soy in the product. Vitamin K is also essential for normal cell formation and maintenance of a healthy cardiovascular system.
  • It is essential to maintain healthy vitamin D levels throughout all stages of life, from fetal development to old age. Vitamin D helps protect a number of important systems in the body, including healthy bones, immunity, and cardiovascular function.

Fish Oil: Viva Labs Omega 3

  • ENHANCED ABSORPTION - Unlike molecularly distilled fish oil, our ultra-strength fish oil is extracted using a proprietary supercritical extraction method that concentrates the highest value of omega-3's for enhanced absorption and the greatest bioavailability.
  • ADVANCED DELIVERY SYSTEM - Our omega-3's are stabilized in their most absorbable form as triglycerides. Unlike ethyl ester fish oil, the triglyceride form of omega-3's is clinically shown to be the most absorbable form of EPA and DHA, promoting optimal cognitive health, cardiovascular support and overall well-being.
  • NO FISHY AFTERTASTE - Supercritical extracted fish oil surpasses traditional extraction methods of fish oils, ensuring our fish oil pills provide one of the safest and purest forms of omega-3's to eliminate fishy odor, repeat and harmful oxidation.
  • HIGH POTENCY FORMULA - Each daily serving provides 2,200mg of highly concentrated, third-party tested fish oil to help satisfy daily omega-3 requirements.
  • IFOS 5-STAR CERTIFIED - Sustainable and pure, each batch is rigorously tested and IFOS 5-Star Certified, the highest ranking achieved for premium fish oil. Our fish are never farm-raised and are caught fresh from pristine, cold seawater for exceptional purity and zero contamination.

CREATINE MONOHYDRATE - Micronized

  • Creatine is a molecule produced in the body, where it stores high-energy phosphate groups in the form of phosphocreatine (creatine phosphate). During periods of stress, phosphocreatine releases energy to aid cellular function. This is what causes strength increases after creatine supplementation, but this action can also aid the brain, bones, muscles, and liver. Most of the benefits of creatine are provided through this mechanism.

How To Supplement: Loading + Maintenance Dosage

  • Loading: Take 0.3 gram per kilogram of bodyweight per day for 5–7 days.
  • Maintenance: At least 0.03 g/kg/day either for three weeks (if cycling) or indefinitely (without additional loading phases).

For an individual weighting 180 lb (82 kg), this translates as 25 g/day during the loading phase and 2.5 g/day henceforth, although many users take 5 g/day due to the low price of creatine and the possibility of increased benefits. Higher doses (up to 10 g/day) may be prudent for those with a high amount of muscle mass and high activity levels.
