Supplements the debate/discussion thread

80g is the recommended amount, but I personally think 50g is a better amount to take

TommyV · 5 Mar 2012 at 12:25

Cheers fellas. Appreciated.

FF, fair enough but it takes a big man to give up caffeine, kudos

Vanilla 2.5kg
Banoffee 2.5kg
Dextrose 2.5kg all ordered.

The whey was on offer!

I'm actually feeling better for it!

Just sometimes lack a bit of motivation for the gym, but I just grit my teeth and get on with it. Because I eat fairly well, I generally have enough energy.

I like to go caffeine free on my deload week. Helps me respond to the pre-workout supplements when I need them during the heavier weeks.

Just ordered some more omega 3 caps, 240 for £14.99 from simply supplements. They're on offer.

Delvis · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:09

Sweet, it's the Triple Strength ones as well, may do this as I'm on my last bottle

LiE · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:16

They have good ratios too, unlike the one's from MP which have weird ratios.

MP: 530mg EPA and 90mg DHA
SS: 330mg EPA and 220mg DHA

Delvis · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:23

Yeah.

I brought the non triple strength ones last time by accident

LiE · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:27

Going by the recommended amount of EPA and DHA, I'll need to take 6 caps a day

1.98g of EPA and 1.32g of DHA.

Cost to meet dosage (6 caps): 37p

Delvis · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:36

Yeah, that's the norm usually.

Just take three after breakfast and three after dinner

Bought those too, plus some super strength multivits - also got a free pill organiser too which is pretty handy.

6 a day is crazy though, is that for realz? I don't know if my pill organiser will even fit that many!! :eek:

LiE · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:40

Yup 6 a day, 7 if you're feeling boss.

Take them out when you need them

I swallow all three in one go :cool:

TommyV · 5 Mar 2012 at 15:50

I'm on 3'000mg of omega3 a day, it's odd as you certainly notice/feel it when you stop taking it.

Can anyone reccomend a decent multi-vit? It's the one essential thing I don't take in current stack!

I got these, only becuase they had Super strength in the title of course..

LiE · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:01

I'm not bothering with a multi vit. Omega 3 + Vit D3 is fine for me.

Chris1712 · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:02

BulkSupplementsDirect are still the Omega 3 kings I think.

Delvis · 5 Mar 2012 at 16:02

So basically the same as Tesco's...

Well, I am presuming due to the 100% RDA statement

They may have more vits in the tabs mind

They are the same as simply supplements, a few quid cheaper but more expensive when you take delivery into account.
