hey Lizard of Oz,
can you chime in on your top 5 or so must-have supplements that you think guys should take?
It depends somewhat on the guy but here are my favorites:
1. Udo's Oil OR Eskimo-3 fish oil -- choose one. For Udo's, aim at 1 tablespoon per 50lbs body weight per day, or a little more; for Eskimo-3, 1 teaspoon a day with food.
2. Source Naturals D-3 AND/OR Thorne Research D-3, you can also mix them up. I'd aim for a total of 2,000-3,000 IUs per day, with food, ideally relatively fatty food.
3. Thorne Research Magnesium Citrate, take 1 before sleep.
4. Source Naturals OptiZinc, take one a day, more on special occasions if you're planning to shoot some particularly long and thick loads into a worthwhile hole.
5. Now Foods Bromelain. Take a couple a day with your main meal, especially with red meat -- really helps the digestion of meat.
Of these five I think the only really essential ones are an Essential Fatty Acid supplement (Udo's or Eskimo-3) and D-3. The others are more optional.
In addition, for guys with any kind of digestive or bowel problems, I would strongly recommend this probiotic:
VSL#3
It's pricey, but it's by far the best probiotic out there and does wonders for your colon health, prevents things like diverticulosis and diverticulitis, IBS, can cure serious conditions like ulcerative colitis, probably significantly reduces the odds of getting colon cancer down the line. If you already have any of these conditions like IBS or diverticulosis you can get it prescribed by a doc. Take 1 packet a day dissolved in something like yogurt, juice or water, early in the day probably best. Keep refrigerated at all times.
same old shit, sixes and sevens Shaft...
