Hi All,
I am working through some research on supplements and am interested in what others are doing and why you think it is working for you.
I currently run 20+ miles per week and do weight training about three days a week.
I take 1500 mg glucosamine, 200 mg chromium picolonate, one aspirin, 2000 mg fish oil, and when I am really training I supplement with something called Animal Paks.
I know most will say that that is overkill, but, I see a differance... Very little soreness (even after intense workout periods), good energy level, and a good payoff on the traiing.
Thoughts or suggestions?

I take a calcium/Vitamin D supplement too but that's because I don't drink milk when cutting. If you drink milk then it's probably not necessary.0

A multivitamin to cover my bases.
Vitamin D.
Krill Oil.
I'm not worried about calcium because I get a ton of dairy every day.
*edit* I drink a lot of the 4C light teas, and each serving has 100% of your daily Vitamin C. So even though I don't intentionally take a Vitamin C supplement, I'm getting loads of it in my beverages.*0 -

I am training for a half marathon and just started strength training. I take a ton of stuff probably because I'm a nurse and see a lot of research/what Drs order etc and I want make sure I'm covered Just started taking glucosamine-I think it's helping. I also take folic, super B complex, fish oil, D3, vit E vit C and a basic MVI. I'm big into antioxidants/reducing free radicals and drink red wine and eat a small amt of dark chocolate pretty regularly.0

a prenatal vitamin- I'm still breastfeeding. I'll probably keep taking it beyond my time nursing, though. I love that vitamin.
I'm also drinking whey protein (Jay Robb) afew times a week. I view that as a supplement, even though many of you might not. It helps with muscle soreness.
I'm thinking of adding more supplements, but haven't really figured it out yet.0
