A lot people have been asking me what supplements I take or recommend. I have tested and tried a lot of different stuff to see what works (for me) and so I can hang my hat on it a truly recommend it. So here goes..
General
- A good multi vitamin
- Omega 3 oil
- Glucosamine
Protein
For me its all about My Protein True Whey it tastes great, mixes well and most importantly costs about 36p per serving (for 20g of high quality protein I don’t think it can be beaten)
other than this I have tried and very much like Kinetica Whey Protein, I purchased this from Cardiff Sports Nutrition, they are fantastic and SUPER knowledgable, if you need anything I highly recommend you give them a call.
For Night time Casein protein I’m still researching what I like, so stay posted.
Creatine
There are many different ones out there but I just go for cheap and cheerful Creatine Monohydrate I got mine from MyProtein again but any will do. I just add it to my post workout drink.
Carbohydrates
These I only recommend for people wanting to add real size and muscle and again I have to go with My Protein Instant oats. These should be taken immediately post workout mixed with your protein shake.
Pre-Workout
For me the jury is still out on these as such I dont feel confident to recommend any at the minute. However this may change in the near future.
I do not make any money from and am in no way affiliated to MyProtein I just love their products and especially their prices. If you do choose to buy from them however please use my Referal Code to get 5% off and yes I get some extra loyalty points its : MP536822
I am also not linked to CSN I just use them and love their amazing service and fast delivery.
So how to take them you ask??
Weight Loss
3 Whey Protein shakes a day, 1 post workout (within 20mins of finishing) and 2 as snacks at around 10am and 3pm
Creatine in your post-workout shake
and omega 3, Multi-Vit and Glucosamine in the morning with breakfast
Weight/Muscle Gain
All the same except add the instant oats (not suitable for paleo diet, have to eat sweet potatoes in this case) into you post-workout shake for that added Kcals and replenishment of muscle glycogen.
