Supplements - ones that I recommend

Omega-3 Fish Oils: Omega-3 fish oils are one of the only supplements I would say is a must have supplement. They have an endless array of health benefits including decreased cholesterol levels and blood pressure.
• Reduction of joint pain
• Increased energy levels
• Decreased inflammation throughout the entire body
• Improved functioning of the immune system
• Increased strength levels
• Increased testosterone levels
• Increased levels of HGH (human growth hormone)
• Increased oxygen delivery to the cells during workouts
• Decreased bodyfat
• Increased insulin sensitivity
• Increased sex drive ....lol
Take six to twelve grams per day spread evenly over the course of 3 meals.



Protein Powder: For most of us, it is quite difficult to consume our daily requirement of proteinby eating nothing but real, solid food. Getting 100+ grams of protein per day by eating nothing but chicken, eggs, fish, and beef is not a reality for most people in todays busy society. If you can meet your daily protein requirement by just eating real food, then that is definitely the way to go. Food beats supplements every day of the week. But if you cant, then a protein shake will help you get there.
The protein powders which I know recommend after researching & investigating are 'myprotein' & 'sunwarrior protein'. You'll notice they are more expensive, but you get what you pay for.


Vitamin C: There is nothing magical about vitamin C but it is a great insurance supplement to take during times of high stress or during the cold and flu season to boost your immune system
