Supplements~ I used supplements which I believe helped. Someone said supplements suck but I do believe that there is a responsible way to use supplements to enhance health and performance. Here is my list.
Athletic Greens ~ 1 Tablespoon / day. I switched Greens Products. It’s a long story but I like this stuff.
Vitamin C ~ 3 grams/day
Vitamin D3 ~ 4000-8000 iu / day (I’m certain I have SAD. Vitamin D has made winters here tolerable)
Alpha Lipoic Acid (ALA) ~ 100 mg with each meal (I heard this stuff might mess with thyroid function if you have any issues with thyroid function. Proceed with caution)
Fish Oil ~ 5 grams/ day ( I like Carlson’s, FLAMEOUT and Nordic Naturals.) I’m rarely sore. The low carb, fish oil combo is clearly working.
BCAA ~ 6 x twice daily. I was part of an amino acid study in 1982. (Obviously survived) I’ve found them amazing on mornings when I wanted more coffee during a fast.
ZMA ~ 3 capsules.
Z-12 ~ 2 capsules Monday-Friday. Improved sleep quality for certain. Not necessarily longer but deeper for certain.
