Glutamine - Workout recovery
Cod Liver Oil - For my brain function.
Vitamin D3 - Necessary when you rarely see the sun

THIS. For those Canadians out there, this is especially important - none of us get the amount of vitamin D necessary in the winter without taking a supplement.
I also take a prenatal vitamin (a doctor once advised that since they are fortified, an excellent supplement), Calcium, and D.0 -

I've been teaching preschool for 24 years. From my own personal experience and watching new people join our staff...Your first 2 or 3 years, you'll catch each and every little thing that coughs your way. After that, you'll build up a killer immune system. For me, I catch one cold every 18 months now, and that's it. Good luck and have fun.0 -

I have horrible cholesterol. Thank you genetics!0
