Stuff we like

davidov Posts: 95 Joined: 2002/10/24	2004/03/15, 01:34 AM I thought it may be fun, and useful for everyone to post supplements or vitamins that we like and why. I'll begin with ZMA. I credit this stuff with actually improving my quality of life in that I feel much better than normal with less sleep. I also like insulin spikes after a workout, a very good idea for anyone trying to gain muscle mass.

Not shure if it would have the same effect in other areas. -------------- I am that which must be feared, worshipped and adored. The world is mine now and forever.No one holds command over me.

ssminnow Posts: 284 Joined: 2004/02/16	2004/03/15, 01:30 PM hey guys, I would look into CoQ10. They say CoQ10 is one of the best cardio vascular supplements you can get. I have a post here on CoQ10. http://www.freetrainers.com/FT/jsp/Message.jsp?f_ix=13&t_ix=1691 Check it out. Davidov, I can't agree with you more about the ZMA. I love the stuff!!

I have some flax seed oil, but have not used it yet. I am unsure of how to take it and when and I read somewhere you can put on salad?
Kyrah Posts: 251 Joined: 2004/03/11	2004/03/26, 12:39 PM Hmm. . .let see. . . Women's Multi, B-Complex, Chromium Picolinate, Garcinia Cambosia, and Xenadrine EFX. Think that covers it. The Vitamin B is my "happy pill" helps to regulate my mood swings, the Chromium is for glucose regulation, the Garcinia Cambosia is natural herbal energy pill, and well the Xenadrine is for weight loss. -------------- Love me as I am . . .

This is not only a powerhouse of B vitamins and a top source of protein that will ehance the amino acid profile of each meal, can make you stronger and more endurance, but also just happens to be a rich source of CO Q10. ============ Quoting from ssminnow: hey guys, I would look into CoQ10.

jsvez Posts: 112 Joined: 2003/09/23	2004/03/26, 02:52 PM Creatine Monohydrate, anti-oxidants, glutamine to name a few. I think I'll give the ZMA a try as it seems to be quite popular and a good night sleep is extremely important to me. I have been trying to find dessicated liver supplements without much luck, any suggestions. Cheers

Jdelts Posts: 1,218 Joined: 2003/10/19	2004/03/27, 11:47 AM I just want to take this oppurtunity to thank the academy and all of the FT members for their support on my 1000th post. Even though 99% of my posts were useless information and one-liners, I'd like to think of the 1% as the less useless information that helped about 12% of the readers...so in reality, my posts helped about .15% of the FT members which works out to about.......1 member. Oh well, here's to you 1 member who made this possible for me!:big_smile: -------------- Baseball is wrong: Man with four balls cannot walk. Jdelts@freetrainers.com
