Supplement and Pre-Dinner Addition

 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.
