    I don't take any performance supplements, but I do take some "paleo/WAP" recommended supplements that seem to help with recovery and general health and well-being:

    - Dr. Rons Organ Delight (I can't get myself to eat liver/organ meat that is recommended)
    - Mag Max (notice a BIG difference with this in a lot of areas)
    - FLCO/BO blend from Green Pastures
    - Great Lakes Grass Fed Gelatin (to put into my bone broth or tea)
    - kombucha (not exactly a supplement, but good for gut health)

    Not sure this is what you're looking for, but I've read on numerous paleo/crossfit blogs that good gut health, correct supplementation, and a clean diet is key.

    BCAA's (Branch Chain Amino Acids) for WOD energy and muscle recovery.

    Whey Protein for making my daily macros and muscle repair.

    Glutamine for muscle recovery.

    Multi-vitamin

    Fish Oil for Omegas

    ETA: Creatine just makes you bloat. Once you stop taking it all your 'gainz' shrink down LOL. PLus it messed with my GI tract.

    I did creatine years ago and it did work. I was able to do much more work per session with it than when I stopped it. I agree on GI thought, it caused enough problems that it just wasn't worth it.

    I did creatine for a while as well. I did have more 'umph' but the GI trouble didn't make it worth it. Plus you have to intake so much more water (if taking Creatine correctly) I was bloating out and gaining. I did 'look' bigger, but I shrank back down after all the water left my system once I got off it.

    I need to add in Glucosamine for my joints. Box jumps and jump rope work are killing my knees LOL.
