The Official Supplement Checklist (WHICH SUPPLEMENTS WHAT AGE)

Rating: 4.5; Vote: 2
When it comes to deciding which supplements to take and at what age to start taking them, I felt there was a need for an official supplement checklist. Something that could be used as a guide for years to come that would help you decide which workout supplements and vitamins were going to be helpful to you, specific to your goals and your age. Here we are going to cover what Amazon has determined are the top 14 categories of supplements according to the popularity of them based on those people using them. We start the list off where many people start off their day, with a multi-vitamin. This is something that I look at as an insurance policy for covering the broad gaps in your not so perfect nutrition plan is creating right now. The issue with many multi-vitamins is that they are almost too broad, including many times vitamins and minerals that conflict with the absorption of one another in the same pill. That said, they are remarkably safe and are popular amongst all of the age groups covered in this video (and even those younger than discussed, so for that reason I believe they are a good place to start for almost everyone. Next up we have specialty vitamins. This is best determined by identifying specific deficiencies via either a blood panel or obvious signs and symptoms, and then addressing them with individual vitamins and micronutrients. This includes things like vitamin D, iron, potassium, vitamin C, etc. There are many causes of nutrient deficiency, but the most important thing is that you don t ignore yours if they are present. The simple addition of a single vitamin each day can go a long way towards restoring normal function in your body and making you feel great at minimum cost and very little extra effort. Next we have to talk about protein powder. This is the most popular workout supplement on the market by far, for good reason. We can all agree that having enough protein in our diets is critical to building the most amount of muscle possible from our workouts. I actually don t view protein supplements as supplements, but rather as an alternate source of protein to chicken, beef or fish. In fact, it is most of the time the most convenient way for us to make sure we re hitting our daily protein requirements of around 1 gram per pound of bodyweight. The key here is choosing a high quality formula. ATHLEAN-Rx Pro-30G is at the top of the heap when it comes to this. It s made from only the highest quality sources of protein and has an industry leading 30 grams of protein in every serving. You can find it at the link above. Continuing on, we hit a run of three closely related supplements in purpose that are very different from each other in function and safety. This includes TRT, SARMS and Testosterone Boosters. First of all, the first two are so readily available and used these days that they have become almost confused by many, especially the younger population, that they act as if they are on a par with protein. These are not. They are medically prescribed substances and in the case of SARMS, not even medically approved for healthy use. Parents need to be aware of the rising reliance that kids are turning to these and educate them as to the concerns of using them both short and long term. Back to the more traditional supplements we discuss the use of melatonin. This natural sleep aid is safe for all ages but must be used in proper dosages and is therefore best that you get the advice of your physician. That said, the increased use of electronics and devices late at night create sleep disturbances due to the over exposure to blue light. Rather than turn to a supplement to help you sleep better you d be better off following the advice of Dr. Andrew Huberman who suggests that getting early sunlight exposure every morning can help to restore normal circadian rhythms and more restful sleep. Turning back to the workout supplements we have to address creatine. Notice I didn t point out the specific form of creatine since there are so many. Whether you take creatine monohydrate, creatine hcl or even buffered creatine, they all work the same and have the same end result - improved force and power generation in every workout, faster replenishment of ATP, increased intramuscular hydration and increased muscle size. The determining factor between taking one form or another has to do with the potential for bloating or gut disturbance that some experience with monohydrate. If that is you, you should look into taking creatine HCL which has a higher absorbability and can be taken in lower dosages (2-3 grams vs 5 grams for monohydrate.

At 67, and a insulin using diabetic, I m in such a unique situation I can t simply add supplementation.
Example being Melatonin, as it increases my A1c.
Isopure and Athlean X whey protein are clean enough to be my two options.
Isopure includes daily vitamins thus one less task.
TRT isn t required and I m building muscle mass. I m still fertile, no vasectomy.
L-carnitine, BCCA, and Creatine mixed into Celsius Heat after 2 pineapple rings, followed by Quaker protein and fiber instant oatmeal, in Almond milk with Isopure protein in Almond milk. I add malted milk powder 1 tbls and teaspoon of dark Cacao powder.
Cacao is the highest source of Magnesium which I also take In capsule form, half daily recommended dosage.
The Almond milk is higher in calcium but lower fat than cows milk.
Celsius HEAT fat burner is affecting sleep, but Athlean X Pre wasn t strong enough for my needs after multiple spine surgeries. 3. 5 years post op.
To improve sleep I m changing from Celsius to Athlean X Pre as endurance has increased enough for 2 hours including stretching X 5 days weekly.
Any additional supplements requires careful monitoring of A1c for elevation.
Currently 162 lbs 5 10 and 32 waist 42 chest and just restarted legs work to regain ROM and assess denervation. Left calf/toes displaying more loss.
Research helps, but experts like Jeff help!

How can creatine hydrochloride be taken in smaller dosages if creatine monohydrate is the most effective form of creatine because it's literally the exact form your body uses it? It beats me how at best equal if not lesser substance could be taken in smaller dosages to reach the same effect. At least according to Dr. Darren Candow who has researched creatine for quite a long time. Also how do you make effective dosage of 3 or 5 grams if it's related to bodyweight and muscle mass? Monohydrate is studied with 0, 1 grams of creatine monohydrate per kilogram of bodyweight. In studies that amount hasn't been reported with GI track issues either and it can result in as much as 8-10 grams of creatine monohydrate. The GI track irritation has been reported only with manufacturer recommended loading phase of for example 20 grams per day (which is not recommended by researchers.

Would have been more sensible to not have Melatonin (with so many issues such as small dose, dependency and really just learning to sleep properly (a valuable life skill in itself) and include NAC instead - for immune system function and more. esp. combined with L-Glycine to make the master molecule - Glutathione. but everything should start with a proper diet with a wide variety of real, clean foods, not just some pills to cover up for bad habits or laziness.

Heyy buddy been watching for years, life s been hard but I m still got but not where I want to be. My body is deficient in a few areas like I constantly bite my lips and cheeks. COULD YOU DO A VIDEO DESCRIBING WHAT DEFICIENCIES AFFECT WHAT PART OF THE BODY? So we can all help ourself a bit more I seen a short video like this but I feel as if you could explain it very well and may already have the knowledge to share with us. Thanks for your time: )

My 10yr old started lifting with me, he is just learning so not super heavy weights. He is pretty heavy, so we have been replacing 2 breakfast meals a week with protein shakes. Mom is really worried about it. He will not eat eggs, barely can get him to eat french toast. Is this a terrible idea? He is so picky its difficult to get him enough protein, especially for breakfast. Is there a better option i havent thought of yet?

Ozempic is an appetite suppressant. Many people, even after they've lost a fair amount of weight, are living lives of constant hunger to maintain a lower body weight, with their bodies still not having adjusted their body fat set point after years at a lower weight. Ozempic is best for such individuals. People should not have to deal with near constant hunger to have a healthy body.

It's super easy to get adequate amounts of Omega 3s if you consume fatty fish in your diet. I prefer sardines myself and just have a tin of them 3-4 times a week (usually as part of my post workout meal) which more than covers the recommended amount of Omega 3s. They also contain a ton of other nutritional benefits and aren't very expensive at all.

I stopped taking pre workout and my PB basically returned back to normal. It s too easy to use it as a general stimulant and it s almost pure sugar. Now I just take 1/2 teaspoon of sea salt with some water and I get my caffeine from green tea before my morning jog. That works for me much better and I don t experience any resulting crash

reply

Great info, whatever you say is what I go with! A lot of viewers such as myself are active seniors who may be on some type of medication regimen, I wish you could have mentioned some of these supplements (such as creatine) and if/when they should be avoided. Thanks. Loved the format of this video.

Add HMB at age 45 and older
Hydroxymethylbutyrate (HMB) is a chemical that is made when the body breaks down leucine. Leucine is an amino acid, one of the building blocks of protein. HMB might promote muscle growth. It can be found naturally in small amounts in grapefruit, alfalfa, and catfish

How can't you get enough omega 3s eating fish everyday? Thats bs, you can get the same amount if not more in a small can of sardines than in a pill, you also get the other nutrition especially vit d and calcium from the small edible bones which you don't get from a overpriced inferior supplement.

Hi Jeff! If you and Jess wiuld up for it. I'd love to send you some of the products I've been taking for the past 5 years. For either you and or Jesse to try! It'd be great to get a detailed review on the your results and the ingredients. That I know you and Jesse would be able to provide.

Great video Jeff. With your background of shoulder injury I am surprised you didn t recommend Collagen and Silica. I have labrum tears in both shoulders and have seen tremendous benefits from taking both-to the extent that I will never need the surgery recommended by doctor.
reply

I dont use any caffeine as it ruins your rem sleep which is bad for recovery and health in general you dont need caffeine and i recommend stoping for a few months and see how much better you sleep and feel its amazing i will never go back to using caffeine again

Whey, casein and l-glutamine.
When i was younger i used l-carnatine and also creatine.
Its also learning about when to take the suppliment and what combination to eat food to maximise absorption and health benefits.

reply

That was an extremely informative video, thank you. Other than collagen, you hit everything I either take, and have reviewed and decided not to take, but I've also been watching you for years! Thanks again, and keep on helping us!

Currently training to be a PT and right now I m on the module about nutrition so watching this stuff helps so much with learning as I m constantly re going over stuff and also getting extra info. Great stuff from Jeff as usual.
reply

Unnecessary and not even worth their money. Just stick with a b12 or a d3 too. Everything else but also these from healthy diet. Master a healthy longterm nutrition guys.
Stop wasting money for nothing.

Glutamine? I d love a better recovery but don t know if it is worth it. I used it for a few years when training very seriously. At that time my diet was crucial and I didn t have too much recovery concerns.
