Hi everyone.
I am currently 18 years old, and I am at my last year of upper secondary school. I am 5'9" tall, and my weight is around 125 lb. I exercise a bit, though not as much as I would like. Currently I am doing 20 mins of high-intensy interval bicycle training first thing in the morning 5 days per week (weekends off), as well as walking about 40 min/day (quick pace). I have finally gotten adjustable weights, too, so I will be doing weight training 3 days/week as well.
Starting next term, I will probably do a prep year at a university or similar, followed by a 4-year education in molecular biology (netting me a masters degree). As I have not started my university studies yet, my budget is a little too low (approx. $150 of study grants per month, of which $40 is used to pay for internet) to start taking serious supplements. Therefore, I am currently only taking these supps (daily):
* Multivitamin (Friggs MultiMan) (1/day)
* Vitamin C (Friggs) (1/day)
* Omega-3 (Friggs Omega-3 Extra) (2/day)
* B Complex (Friggs B-komplex) (1/day)
* Ginseng (Friggs) (2/day)
* 2-3 cups of Bai Mu Dan white tea
Starting fall 2007, though, I will be allowed a higher study grant as well as study loans, bringing my total monthly income up to around $930. As I will have a lot of stuff to pay anyway, I can't exactly have the "perfect" regimen, but I will have more money to spend on supps than I have now, at least.
So therefore, I have made a preliminary list of the stuff I will buy (all from Beyond-A-Century(thanks, health_nutty!)), based on research as well as comments on these boards and what I've seen in your regimens:
* ALA
* ALCAR
* Benfotiamine
* Pomegranate, P40p
* Rhodiola rosea
* Ginkgo biloba
* Ashwagandha
* Resveratrol
* Green tea extract, 95+% (or should I buy the 40% one?)
* Vitamin D3
* Melatonin, 2mg time-released caps
All this would cost me around $35/month, so I guess it's pretty budget.
Is there anything that you think is missing from my list, or are there any better brands available of the supps I've listed? I'd like to buy everything from one site, so it would be nice if the supps you suggest are available on BAC). Keep in mind that I would like to keep my regimen within some kind of budget.
Any feedback is appreciated.
