I've experimented with a few over the years, but after talking to my Doc a while back, found out that if the bodies getting enough, any extra will just be pissed out and you'll waste your money. They can run some blood tests to see if your deficient in anything.
- 'Olive Leaf Extract' for a month before the flu season.
- psyllium husks on my cereal for fibre and have a tsp of flaxseed oil for omega 3. Oh the best fibre you can get is either All Bran, or 1/2 glass of prune juice. Works a treat to clean you out.
- magnesium supplement in water 30min before a workout to stop muscle cramps, especially the calves. Within 30min after a workout, I'll have a whey peptide isolate shake for muscle recovery.
- eat 3-5 brazil nuts a day for Selenium
Do you guys take any supplements to assist with your health or have any tips.

I take daily:
A high potency multi vitamin
Fish oil
vitamin c
vitamin E
And magnesium (glycinate) which helps with Cholosterol,BP and is a natural sleep aid (has helped alot in that dept)
Great fiber source for cereal is General Mills "Fiber One". Comes in all different flavors, super high in fiber and doesn't taste like cardboard.
Mine has a larger dose of B-Complex and C, because it's supposed to be a "sports formula". Like Coogee said at the beginning, I think there are some days when I simply pass a lot of the extra stuff through my kidney's, but on other days it really seems to help. This one is called "Mega Mens' Sport" -and no- it's NOT a male enhancement formula!
I'm still taking milkthistle to be kind to my liver after the years of abuse, but I"m not taking a high dose.
A Phd relative of mine has been researching vitamin D for years, and is convinced that there are MANY health benefits. and that we don't get enough of it. If you don't get regular sun (especially in the winter) then it's not a bad idea to take some extra. Just be careful of how much, because it is stored in your fat cells- not passed through the kidneys. Too much of it ca.n be bad for you, but I've felt a lot more energetic with the extra D.
