Cinnamon and green tea speeds up the motabalism. Biotin for my hair. Vitamin D for my fibromyalgia, and riboflavin for my headaches.
just wanted to say, very few things (if anything) make any measurable difference in the speed of your metabolism. your size and genetics are the key factors. heavier people, believe it or not burn more calories than to thinner people.2 -
Just 2000 mg vitamin D, but I'm thinking I should start washing it down with cityruss's health elixir, gin!

Currently, Krill Oil, C, D, B12 + Folate, Magnesium, Selenium, Iodine, Copper. Not getting enough Iron, Calcium and Potassium in my diet yet so I may need to supplement those also. Its tough to have a diet that contains everything. I wouldn't multi-vitamin as I have read it is likely that lower quality nutrients are used.
I will review this lot after a month or so...0 -

I take 2 multi-vitamins, 10k IU VitD, psyllium (fiber supplement), papaya/pineapple enzymes and creatine daily.
I'm on a high protein/carb and low fat diet (40/40/20) and can get the runs and gas because of it. Get a lot of my protein from soy/whey powder & drinks. The fiber addresses the runs and the enzymes help digest the protein to reduce the gas.
Just started taking the creatine to see if it makes any difference in recovery/workouts and/or muscle growth. Going to try it for 3 months and then reassess the need for it.
Take the multi-vitamins to balance out my nutrients on MFP and take the VitD because I have been diagnosed as VitD deficient. Have been taking the VitD supplement for years which has brought my VitD reading up to the recommended level.

I take a pile... Maca powder, L-arganine, ginseng, multivitamin, red clover, dhea & magnesium oil plus I grow a bunch of medicinal herbs in my garden that I cook up into a stirfry... I have bad peri menopause but all of the above have pretty much wiped out my symptoms and I have much more energy when I exercise.0

Creatine won't really do either of those things. It increases ATP synthesis which leads to increased power output in short bursts (i.e. strength).0 -
at the moment I take:
BCAA
Glutamine
Creatine
ZMA + magna Redz (pretty much magnesium)
whey (vegan type)
When I remember I take a multi.
When I was on prep I was prescribed 24 different supps and of those I took 22 (2 I just thought were redundant such as fibre - I always am above my fibre goals and I crap 2-3 times per day so don't need any help in that department LOL, and I can't remember what the other one was now. )
I thought that 22 different supps were WAY too many TBH.
oh yeah - extremely occasionally I take beta-alanine pre workout - only if I'm feeling really tired though or for some reason am doing two workouts in a day. Very rare.0 -

Well, I've read that it supposedly increases energy and strength in lifting which in turn is supposed to contribute to increased muscle development. Obviously, if that doesn't happen for me, I'll just stop using it.
Only paid $12 for a 3 month supply of the stuff. So, it wasn't big investment. Just an experiment. Already think it's giving me headaches, which may be enough reason to just stop taking it anyway.

Creatine will increase your capacity to lift more weight, which can, in turn, increase your ability to train for hypertrophy.
Creatine is the most well-researched and effective supplement out there. And it's cheap. There's little reason not to keep taking it.0 -

If you are getting headaches that could be due to dehydration; when supplementing with creatine it's recommended that you increase your water intake as well.0 -
I keep Whey Isolate to add to shakes, pancakes, and home made protein bars.
I take a Bariatric multivitamin for known malabsorption issues. I take extra B12, D and Iron because I am low.
I figure all women of childbearing age should take Folic acid to prevent a known birth defect.
And Black Cohosh to reduce hot flashes.0 -
