[Week 27 Topic] - What is the #1 supplement everyone should have other than Protein?

**Trick D** · 11-14-2005, 05:36 PM

Supplements... Everyone's has their opinions now voice yours.

List the top 5 supplements other than protein every bodybuilder/weightlifter needs. Please give some information and where to find these supplements.

**johnsbod** · 11-14-2005, 05:41 PM

Multivitamin. I can't think of any other supplement as important for general health.

geoffsherman · 11-14-2005, 05:43 PM

(1) Multi
(2) Creatine
(3) EFAs

The second tier would be
(1) Pre-Workout Energizer
(2) Either test booster (if you are older and bulking) or Fat Burner (if you are cutting)

**Peaked_18** · 11-14-2005, 07:45 PM

A few ways to look at this question. If you get a lot of vegetables from your diet eating a few cups a day, I would say opt for some type of a cell volumizer especially if you an intermediate lifter.

But if your new to bodybuilding and have under 6 months of serious lifting and good diet, I would get the multivitamin.

How ever you look at it I guess. Don't really need fish oils if you can get most of your healthy fats from extra virgin olive oil and won't need to buy a multivitamin, but it would cost a lot less to get the vitamins.

Either way you break it down I guess.

1. Multi
2. EFAs
3. Antioxydants
4. CEE/NO

Anything else IMO depends on who the trainee is.

W8isGR8 · 11-16-2005, 12:54 AM

1. Creatine
2. multi

Aside from whey and maltodextrin, this is all you need. (you don't even need the multi if you eat enough fruits/veggies)

**Hi-Caliber** · 11-16-2005, 03:06 AM

1. Multivitamin
2. EFA's
3. Glutamine
4. BCAA's
5. Vasodilator

pammiejoe6 · 11-18-2005, 06:34 PM

1. multivitamin
2. fish oil
3. Red Acid

**Hi-Caliber** · 11-18-2005, 07:15 PM

1. - Test Prop
2. - LongR3 IGF-1

4. - Tamoxifen
5. - Jintropin

**Hi-Caliber** · 11-18-2005, 07:16 PM

I don't know why, it made the most sense.

With the exception of creatine, if you can buy it over the counter, you probably just wasted your money and I would include multivitamins with that.

**antihero** · 11-19-2005, 06:21 PM

Aside from protein and malto/dex to go with it, my top 5 would be:

1. Multi-Vitamin
2. Creatine Ethyl Ester
3. BCAA
4. Glutamine Peptides
5. Myochem Throttle 1400x -or- Omega Sports Power Jolt

**bigDman** · 11-19-2005, 06:56 PM

multi
EFAs

**schroeder** · 11-19-2005, 06:57 PM

carb powder
multi
peanut butter
milk
pasta

the last 3 are obviously mega-dosed

pu12en12g · 01-16-2006, 02:28 AM

Creatine

v10hanz · 01-22-2006, 03:56 AM

I think glutamine is probably one of the best after protein. I agree that if you eat enough veggies you won't need a multi... but taking one doesn't hurt anyway.

I use:

protein: (egg, whey, whey isolate)
multi
glutamine
glucosamine condroitin (for my joints)
flax seed oil (for omega 3's)

**Aeternitatis** · 01-18-2007, 01:14 AM

Enzymes and probiotics.

Creatine.

Other than that, X-factor.

I'm serious about the probiotics though. NOW Foods has a good one that powdered... 110 servings for like $15. Very high quality.
