Title: Nutrition Supplements
Post by: Colby on November 01, 2010, 05:59:29 am
  Hey everybody, I just had a question regarding nutrition supplements that some of you might be taking. I don't really know much and am curious about what might be good to take. Currently I am taking a pill form of Glucosamine for joints and a multivitamin. That is about it. Do you recommend a certain type of supplement or brand? Just curious, thanks for the help!

I do a daily multi-vitamin with iron. Most days I take two fish oil capsules as well. Love burping up that fishy taste!

Cytomax and sometimes a protein shake.

I drink a tall glass of chocolate 2% milk after most workouts, just to get extra calories.

Scrambled eggs and plenty of orange juice for carbs, potassium and magnesium after long and difficult workouts. Feel like a new man the next day.  Well... almost:)

A fruit smoothie with a good scoop of whey protien. Orange juice or skim milk..... whatever you crave.

Nothing beats a chocolate shake after a good hard run.

minerals are more important than we generally know ... after that its about digestion ... which means a good portion of uncooked foods ...
