What supps do you take?

[7anceArmstrong]

Hi all, I'm 45 so obviously my body needs more help than it did once upon a time. With that in mind I take a few supps which, hopefully, help physiologically not just as a placebo.

I currently take:-
Q10
Magnesium
Turmeric
Cod liver oil
Bcaa's

Not including protein etc etc.

Anyone anything they would like to recommend? Either for cycling or my currently hellish depression.

Get tested by your GP and then add vitamin D (as almost everyone who doesn’t spend all day in hot sunshine is deficient). Get a full bone profile done too (ie calcium)

Do you think you’re really benefiting though? Seems expensive.

Supps? Suppositories?

I found out, following persuasion from my wife a couple of years ago, that daily vitamin D did help my mildly depressive or SAD moods, through the darker months. I still don't like those months but they don't get me as down as they used to. That's the only supplement I take.

Nah, less than a fiver a week for the above. The focus its giving me helps to motivate me to be honest.

Beans on toast is a staple meal for me.

Sups = supplements
Not training for an event.

Thanks guys.

 

[7anceArmstrong]

Ref vit D suggestion, thanks guys.

I take it for muscle and joint issues

Presumably with plenty of fruit and veg too

But do get tested before taking and discuss dosing with GP
If you’re taking a fortified cod liver capsule, it’ll contain a small dose already
