I have used supplements for well over 5 years now and I often get asked, “What supplements should I be consuming?”
Well honestly, it depends.
Why do you want to supplement? What’s the result you are trying to achieve by incorporating supplements into your diet?
The first thing to realise are that supplements are there to do exactly that. Supplement a healthy diet.
They aren’t there to replace or improve a crappy diet, so before you consider any sort of supplementation make sure your diet is on point first.
Secondly you need to know why you’re supplementing.
Why do you want to incorporate that protein shake? Is it to aid in recovery after your training sessions? Is it because you need to get your protein intake up?
Why do you want to take that probiotic, Omega 3, and multivitamin?
I am a huge advocate of supplementing. I believe it can add lots of value if its purposeful.
Finally, if you do decide to supplement, don’t buy crap. Spend the money on quality supplementation. You want to supplement to add value to your life, then invest in quality.
If you want to discuss how supplementation can benefit you, please contact me. I would be more than happy to help.
