whomper Posted October 21, 2007 Share Posted October 21, 2007 I went into the Health store / Nutrition center friday and couldnt believe the amount of stuff they offered..The only thing I take is 1000 MG Vitamin E everyday. I get dry skin especially in the colder months so my Doctor said I should take it year round. What do you take ? Does everyone go traditional (E,C,Multi etc) or are any of you getting results with the non traditional stuff ? (shark cartledge etc) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does everyone go traditional (E,C,Multi etc) or are any of you getting results with the non traditional stuff ? (shark cartledge etc) I don't worry about dry skin because I have a naturally beautiful complexion. I have started taking fish oil capsules with the Omega 3s and grinding up flax seeds to throw on my yogurt as these two substances are believed to lower cholesterol (mine is at 196, although my both by "bad" and "good" cholesterol are in good ranges). I'm also cutting back on carbs and alcohol (mon-thurs) because by triglycerides are at 220. I eat (ate) lots of pasta, potatoes, and breads, which turn to sugars in the body.

Skilly Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I take fish oil w/ Omega 3, calcium, multivitamin, and glucosomine for the joints. I'll throw in some extra Vit C now and then to mix it up. Then there's the old standard.....Vitamin M. My daily dose of Motrin! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDFFFreak Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 (edited) One-a-Day Men's Formula 1000-1200 mg of Omega-3 fish oil x2 per day 600mg of red rice yeast x2 per day The last due are due to high cholestrol and a fatty liver per my doctor's orders. I think the next step is to go on some sort of cholestrol medicine. Edited October 22, 2007 by TDFFFreak Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtomicCEO Posted October 22, 2007 Share Posted October 22, 2007 I have 1-2 beers a day to keep my blood pressure low, and I get regular rest to relieve stress. For exercise, I tap my toes under my desk when I work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Country Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 Flaxseed and Fish Oil provide different essential fatty acids, so supplementing with both is not a bad idea. If you eat fish regularly, you may not need the fish oil supplement. I take a multi-vitamin, occassionally add extra Vitamin C, glucosamine/chondroitin to help with sore ankles from injuries playing basketball many years ago, protein (whey and casein, depending on purpose) and creatine, inaddition to the flaxseed and fish oil capsules. Admittedly I have not been good lately maintaining my supplement regimen, but, when being good that is what I supplement with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Admittedly I have not been good lately maintaining my supplement regimen, but, when being good that is what I supplement with. Men need to stay away from Flaxseed oil. It along with Soy and some others increase the production of estrogen. Which in the long run will make you fatter and I guess MORE women like...lol...Fish oil is the best. Spend the money for the good gel caps. They will not leave a bad taste when burp as well. Any Omega 3/6 needs to be in the right ratio as well. I take a multi. I also take a few others but I use them b/c I lift weights daily. For training: Effervestent Creatine with B-12 and Vitamin C is great along with AKG. But I think Fish oil studies are showing it volumizes your vessels better the AKG...who knows for now. Dextrose with Whey protein(WPI) post work out and a nice seving of Casein protein before bed. Big Country I am not trying to address you directly....just quoted you b/c of the Flax. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew about the soy in large quantities (ie making it your primary protein source), but have never heard this about flaxseed. Do you have any documentation to back this up, as just about every major bodybuilding and general fitness magazine, website, enthusiast etc. reccomend the inclusion of flaxseed in their programs.

I will sit at your feet as you dispense wisdom. Brother Unta , this is the one i use as it has higher levels of EPA and DHA as compared to other nordic products ...both of which apparently have been found to be quite effective for depression and anxiety and ofcourse really good at reducing cholesterol . Lastly for general well being ..just dont bite the capsule ...its not pretty This One Edited October 24, 2007 by isleseeya Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Missoula Griz Posted October 24, 2007 Share Posted October 24, 2007 I have been taking a multi for years. I now also take vitamin E and C, garlic tablet, and omega 3s. I give my children a multi every night before they go to bed. I figure it cant hurt. We have not had many colds over the past few years.
