I am taking an iron supplement as well as being allowed to eat some beef now due to being anemic but that's pretty much it for me.  All the medicine I have to take is enough to depress me, LOL!

Years ago I used to take all kinds of supplements until I realized I was broke because of spending so much money on them.  When I stopped I didn't feel any worse so I just don't take anything unless my doctors tell me to. Hence the iron supplement!  ;D

I take protein powder after workouts.

I eat a lot of fish, eggs, beef, chicken, turkey, shellfish, etc.

Low carbs.

No dairy.

That's it.

I use a shit load of "health" supplements. I would take even more but the cost is too much even now. Are they doing anything? Hard to measure, you can't really. For example if I'm taking CoQ10 how do I know it's helping my heart in any way?

None. Used to take creatine and protein and it was messing with my GI system. Haven't noticed much of a difference off of them.

Tried arginine for a few weeks many years ago but all it did was make my veins look nice. Didn't do anything for lifts or size so I stopped taking it.

I hear you,it`s like being on several compounds of gear....you really aren`t too sure which one is working for you.

Creatine is the only one you can "feel" IMO.

I'm getting blood work soon, so I'll see if these test boosters did jack shit.  No idea, actually doubtful,  but I feel strong.

CoQ-10
Vit K2-D3
Baby Aspirin
Nattokinase
Fish Oil
NAC / TUDCA
Niacin
Carditone

Lifting related, mainly just:

Creatine, Taurine and HumaPro in my water-bottle I drink while training.

Remember that liquid Creatine in a bottle with an eye dropper that was sub-lingual.....total scam!

Wes,  I honestly don't know...  like you, never been a great sleeper. Supposed to be great for recovery.  I still take it anyway for the zinc and magnesium.  Usually has B6 or 12.   The one i have now has D3, B6, Folic Acid and L-Theanine.

"magnesium glycinate is one of the most common magnesium supplements used for achieving better sleep"

"Magnesium glycinate is often used for its calming effects to treat anxiety, depression, and insomnia."
