What vitamin or supplements actually worked for you?

I normally don't take supplements but because of teh corona I've been taking Zinc & D3. No clue if they actually help.
 
The most dramatic effect I've ever had is from ZMA. I've taken it for years now and get mad sleep off it.
 
You don't need creatine, but it's benefits are proven to work.
I heard if you dont drink enough water you can damage your kidneys on creatine. Also isn't the gains just water retentions?
 
I wouldn't even bother with Natrol, its a mid range brand with questionable quality, plus they use Vitamin B12 (Cyanocobalamin) they cyanide version of B12.

A better multi vitamin is Thorne Research 2/day its pharmaceutical grade meaning less fillers and it includes K and K2 helps transfer calcium to the bones instead of build up in the artieries. they also use the better version of folate and Vitamin B12 (as Methylcobalamin)

What brand brother?

I stopped taking ZMA I only took it for a few days years ago when it was hyped up because you had to take it on empty stomach, man I would wake up with the worst stomach ache.
 
Saffron makes you feel a little euphoric

Fish oil has made me feel a little better at times

Probiotics that are strong enough to make my farts smell stronger make me feel more healthy

100 grams of whey isolate will make you a little stronger

The majority of those expensive probiotics are crap

there is only one that works and its Visbiome, the guy who made this had a dispute with VSL3 and VSL3 was the probiotic they hospitals would give, but they cost hundreds now VSL3 is shit and doesn't work because the creator of the formula sued them and they cannot use his formula.

Here is the proof

Well some that weren't the most expensive that seemed to work. The ones from teh dollar tree do not seem to work.

Creatine doesn't create gains on its own. It increases your atp production so that you have more energy while lifting, allowing you to get extra reps in. The gains come from the added work you do.

I agree with ZMA, but the stuff is expensive. So I literally just bought the 3 ingredients separately on Amazon - Magnesium, Vitamin b12 and Zinc -MUCH cheaper.
 
Blood, warm from the neck. Some people take it chilled, but I prefer it straight from the source...
 
B complex is the only thing that helps my body. Its the only one that is noticeable.

It has to be in the right ratios to work, and you don't necessarily need an empty stomach, just empty of anything that will be absorbed over the zinc, calcium is a big no no.

It's the only sup that I get an immediate effect off, big fan.

What happened to the water retention giving the swole look when on Crea Mono?

Also known as fluid retention, creatine can cause rapid water weight because the supplement draws water into your muscles' cells. Your muscles will hold onto this water, resulting in bloating or puffiness around your arms, legs, or stomach

Those in the dollar tree are dead on arrival most of the stuff sold there expires in a few weeks time.

I think you mean B6, you can find ZMA supps for Cheap like ON ZMa for 16 bucks or 90 caps

I just take sublingual methylcoblamin b12 lozenges that I let melt under my tongue, I have no clue if it does anything though. I take those Life Extension 500mcg ones, because you can lower or increase the dose and its cheaper. Some b12s cost a grip.
