What supplements do you use?

**Andy** · 9th April 2005

Protein shakes, pills... whatever, what do you guys use?

Im currently on San Infusion Protein shakes, along with reflex pro-gen shakes, giving me much needed protein every day. Both are designer supplements, meaning they are packed with any vitamin you can think of, and are very nutricious!

i do take San Tight on occasion to completely shred myself (really makes you pee like mad)

Basically, my diet is for staying trim and in shape, loosing those extra pounds when needed.

What do you lot take, and for what purpose?

Hi Andy,

Well I currently take Udo's choice oil,Reflex instant whey, un-flavoured whey,solgar multi-vit and Creatine....
Well the oil as its full of your EFA''s ,Whey for its protein,Vitamins well for vitamins

but the main reason I take the above as its an essential part of weight-lifting...
Getting all your nutrients.proteins etc from food is pretty hard at the best of times and these make up for what you cant eat

Dont take anything supp's wise for losing the fat,just good old CV and a good healthy diet

I gave up on supplements a long time ago, after trying virtually everything on the market and slowly realising that it made hardly any difference (I'm talking legal supplements obviously

), and that there was no substitute for hard work. Just remember that it's a multi million dollar industry and it's in their interests to get you to take as much as they can. I still remember Maximuscle's supplement price list when it was 1 bit of scrappy A4 blue paper, now look at them.

If I was starting to train seriously again I'd probably just stick to a good protein powder and maybe a multi vitamin/mineral. Everything else tends to achieve only one thing, the most expensive piss in town.

i was wondering if the prolab creatine any good from anyone who has tried it?

Well, id say any form of creatine gets the job, so its a good choice in any case.

If you are on about the monohydrate forumla, id say go for it, ppl at my gym like it.
