Bag O’ Tricks
Everyone seems curious as to what I’m taking in the way of supplements.
Ta Da…Here they are!
Calcium with Vitamin D is a no brainer and I’ve been taking that for the last 10 years. New research is advocating Magnesium with Calcium and Vitamin D but I need to do a little more reading on that.
Whey protein is something I’ve been taking on and off for the last few years. If I knew then what I know now. As hard as it is for women to keep and retain muscle, I should have never gotten off protein powder. I’m not a vegetarian but I really do prefer plant based foods. That does seem to stall the muscle building and repair processes mostly found in eating or consuming protein. While there are many different types of protein powder with varying levels of sugar and additives I really have grown accustomed to Optimum Whey. You can find it at www.bodybuilders.com
I just picked up the first multivitamin I saw at Rite Aid. If there is a real difference please let me know your thoughts and findings.
Digest All comes in handy now that I’m eating protein with every meal. It keeps me regular. Nuff said! Also can be found at www.bodybuilders.com
Maxi-Hair was another great find by my nutrition counselor. It’s a lot cheaper than Biotin which has skyrocketed recently. Bonus is that it’s supposed to help your skin and nails too. It seems to be working! You can find it at www.amazon.com
EFA’s (essential fatty acids or fish oil) are really new to me. I’m taking them three times a day to prevent inflammation. With my rigorous workouts I need it. Is it working? All I know is that I feel good.
What are you taking in the way of supplements? How do you know if it’s working?
Time for a protein shake!
