Supplement and Pre-Dinner Addition
I have recently made the decision to incorporate some supplements into my routine. I've gone back and forth with supplements over the years but I feel adding some shouldn't be a problem. I'll list the ones I am adding with my reasoning :
- Multivitamin
- I feel this is a nice insurance policy and simply can't hurt.
- Fish Oil
- I very rarely eat fish and I've heard fish oil being repeated in many circles as having health benefits. It just simply seems like a great thing to take for joint health and reduced inflammation.
- Creatine
- Creatine is a well researched supplement that has great physiological and cognitive health benefits. It seems like a no brainer with how much research and anecdotal evidence is backing it up.
- Vitamin D and K
- I spend a massive amount of time indoors and very rarely am in the sun for long periods of time. Although I probably should get more outdoor time and every year I tell myself I will lol. I think it would be wise to take some and the vitamin k helps the vitamin D actually get into the bones.
- Probiotic
- You can't utilize what you can't absorb. I think gut health is very important and a quality probiotic is a simple way to shore up your gut biome.
- Whey Protein Isolate
- I think receiving some quality protein prior to dinner/post workout is a simple way to get the essential amino acids. Also because I eat one meal a day, I can be pretty low on protein sometimes.
All of the above may look rather confusing but it really isn't. Prior to me eating dinner (generally post workout or whenever I get home from work) I'll have a whey protein shake with 5g of creatine, a piece of fruit and then all the vitamins. It's a simple one and done.
