The one about supplements.

WHICH SUPPLEMENTS SHOULD YOU TAKE?

A question I get all the time.

So here's a list of some I’ve found useful over the years.

Let's first establish that 99% of supplements are crap & a waste of money.

+ sups are a waste if your training & nutrition aren't on point.

Most are gimmicks targeted towards naive people.

E.g. “Lose 10lbs in 7 days with this pill”

So.. here’s some actually beneficial ones👇

1. Whey protein

If you struggle with hitting your protein goal everyday, I suggest taking 1-2 scoops of whey protein.

It's NOT a protein meal replacement, its simply to help increase your protein intake when you struggle to eat enough.

I take 1-2 scoops most days. Works great.

2. Collagen protein

Collagen is the main structural protein in various connective tissues throughout your body.

Things like your hair, nails, skin, tendons, and ligaments will all benefit greatly.

Awesome stuff!

3. Omega 3 fish oils

Fish oils have shown amazing-scientifically proven benefits for the human body.

It aids in weight loss when combined with a workout program as well as reducing bodily inflammation and supporting healthy skin/hair.

4. Creatine

Creatine is one I recommend for those trying (and struggling) to put on size.

Creatine helps your muscle cells produce more energy to get in those extra few reps that really lead to muscle growth.

Also great for high intensity exercise performance (cough, athletes)

5. Magnesium

One of the best in my opinion, is magnesium.

It is involved in over 600 reactions in your body like energy creation, muscle formation, nervous system regulation, etc

I take magnesium and zinc before bed.

Highly recommended.

6. Vitamin D3

Majority of my followers are from The uk, so this involves many of you

Approx 40-50% of the British population is vitamin D3 deficient

Combining this supplement + getting outside for more sunshine can do numbers for your hormones (like testosterone!)

7. Vitamin C

Vitamin C is involved in the growth, repair and development of tissues in the body.

It also is great for immune system support, wound healing, and maintenance of things such as your bones, teeth and cartilage

I take it daily with my vitamin D3 and zinc.

I hope you found this helpful!

Btw, I’m not saying these are the ONLY supplements that are useful, these are the ones I’ve found helpful in MY training & everyday life.
