Vitamins & supplements - Hondo's Bar
Been meaning to make this thread for a while - for one thing, Vagrant's good with this shit.
i used to take a lot of vitamin A & C, i mainly stick to Fish Oil pills now cause of the many benefits said to come from omega/fatty acids.
My momma had me take A for skin & eyes as a kid, C for immune system but i dont know how much the latter holds up so ive not done it lately...it is water-soluble though, good to know you cant really overdo it, realistically.
i tried a few things for eyes, but most doctors i talked to said they were more for cataracts than night vision or retention, so those're gone, too.
for working out, i typically do a whey isolate (or whatever you call it when its straight protein, no real carbs) in the morning and after working out, unless ive got some syntha-6 left, which i mix with milk and after Vagrant pointed it out, often with a few spoons of virgin olive oil (i do cardio, so its hard to keep trying to add weight/lean mass without taking this out of my regiment completely).
I do one nitric oxide called Supercharge, before workouts - its really just there to help heal up between sets so i dont get as sore/tired more than anything, some second winds here & there but that's about it.
I stopped doing heavy weightgainers since they were messing with my cholesterol/stomach, so this is the extent of what ill take most times...this week, ive started this Mass FX regiment Vagrant said to try out, some hormone shit with good studies behind it.
Ill check back in & say when its done if ive gained anything, but i know i still need to eat more, especially with trying to pick up cardio again.
question if vagrant/someone who knows sees this: he told me to take zinc supplements for protein absorption, but others've warned this is part of why those cold medicines stopped using it, some report that mentioned damaging nasal tissue or something such?
This true?

I never really felt all that 'cleaner' or healthier when I did take supps for a short while.
I know my body was getting more nutrients that I often don't get in my reg diet, but I just didn't feel any different after about 3 weeks of use (which is why I probably stopped).
I would be interested in a safe fat burner...
It gives you a little more energy and helps with my widdle uni pack I got going on.
cuz exercise can make like a tree and go effe itself...
reason for edit: had to add the bad tree/leaf anaogly...
But - the leaf and + the funzies PG rated cursing.

Ah, you mean food supplements, not workout ones yeah?
I shoulda specified between the 2 in my first post, there's a big difference/market.
What were you looking for from them?
i know there's a lotta bullshit fatburners, but bishop on the board here has had tremendous weight loss by counting calories and taking an appetite suppressant, though i believe that last part is medically regulated/not over the counter these days.

Yea, I took just regular vitamins that you find at the generic retail stores.
I bought this combo pack that was like a 2 or 3 week supply of daily stuff to take, and it was an even spread of diff kinds.
I just didn't feel the difference so spending the money didn't seem worth it to me.
I know most fat burners are actually moreso just energy pills, which I guess makes you more active, and in turn burns more cals, but I want a true fat burner...
Cuz I lurves me pizza and steak minus the jazzercise.
