I have done a lot of  reading on supplements and have came to a pretty  big list of supplements... I wanna hear what you guys think about them.. here they are:

 

 

Here I know im pretty sure works:

Multivitamin, Creatine,casein-whey protein, Beta-alanine, Greens, amino acids ,omega 3   and a preworkout supplement.
 
but than theres others im less sure about like:
VITAMIN D 10k IU (is it nessecary if im already taking a MULTI? people get very little sunlight these days)
D ASPARTIC ACID(dont know if it works but cant hurt to try few say it increases TEST production by 20%)..
test booster (again Im pretty sure most test boosters dont work but maybe can increase slightly)
 
then We have these: 
 
CLA (help lose weight?) ,COQ10(not sure what this does? anti aging?) ,CITRULLINE MALATE (good for increasing blood flow to muscles?), weight gainer(these can WORK help you gain weight) , digestive enzymes  ,electrolytes  , probiotics, proteolytic Enzymes (then these last 4 havent done much reading, are they important?)
 
deer antler spray (now foods) + capsules , ( People say deer antler can increase IGF-1?..)
Diindolylmethane/estrogen blockers (good OTC estrogen blockers like DIM works for sure right?)
Iodine,selenium high dosage (these in high dosages for thyroid support?)
ursolic acid  (not sure on this?)
succinic acid , ribose (increase ATP production)

Generally I dislike Multivitamins as there' s too much interaction.

 

Be careful with casein and amino acids, as they can be pretty ruff on your stomach, come with some bloating and effect your microbiome negatively.

 

I am also not a fan of Omega-3 due to its blood thinning effect. But it's worth trying as there's some positive sides to it too.

 

Be especially careful with Vitamin D. Recent research shows that vitamin D down regulation is the bodies natural response to inflammation rather rather then it's causation. Taking Vitamin D may be harmful.

 

CoQ10 is worth trying if you need more energy. But start slowly like 50mg. If you build up too much CoQ10 you might experience burn-out.

What studies on vitamin D are you referring to? I haven't seen suggestions that vitamin D could be harmful unless serum levels are well above the maximum recommended range, which doesn't apply to many people. Even if low vitamin D were a response to inflammation, that doesn't mean this is desirable or that normalizing it is harmful.

Here are the current NIH guidelines on Vitamin D
https://ods.od.nih.g...thProfessional/

They claim that 4000 IU is the most anyone should take per day long term, and also suggest some problems are being found with blood levels above 30ng/ml. Good topics for discussion, but that's where they are now.

That was terribly unscientific of me, I confused something. There is no such studies.
