Comprehensive OTC supplements

[rotinaj]

Coming from someone who is tired of taking 10+ individual health supplements… it gets annoying.

What comprehensive supplements do you guys take or recommend to other bodybuilders?
Multivitamin, joint support, organ support, ect.

You have to be careful here. My suggestion would be take your damn supplements individually and from reputable companies. You can dial in your dosing, pretty much elect your versions/salts and not rely on some 'all in one - but might be bullshit or low quality control' type supplement. One of my pet peeves is people complaining about taking some extra capsules when this is a meticulous and OCD lifestyle. Just take them.

Thats the biggest issue - so many companies offering the same shit - almost same exact price point - then you have the ones little too high $$

Reputable companies - I just go with big names - my knowledge is limited on that subject

agree - just take the dam pills - i swallow like 10 every freaken meal

I generally prefer using individual ingredients/products because you can use exactly what you need to suit your own bodies needs. Although Supplement Needs and Strom Sports do some very good multi ingredient products.

I take a minimum of 14 pills every night. Unfortunately, I haven't found any comprehensive supplements that has all the important supplements at the right doses and ratios. I think Dante used to make something a few years ago but it didn't sell very well so he discontinued it.

Now Adam Multi + astralogus, all blood work is fine see no reason to take anything else and drive myself mad taking pills. Really I should be taking just now Adam, but alway worry about the kidneys so rather be safe.

Diet takes care of the rest + cardio.

I have always stuck with a handful of companies..
Jarrow
Doctor's Best
Life Extension
TN
BioAstin

and Now Foods (rarely but sometimes)

Don't get me wrong there are intriguing products with 4 to 20 ingredients in them that look great on paper but you have to worry about their sourcing department finding the right species(etc) from the vendor(and they are shopping for the cheapest price), testing done to ensure identity and purity of the material, correct processing and encapsulation or mixing without contamination or incorrectly blended ratios, and finally testing ($$$) to ensure all the ingredients on the label meet the claim(if they even bother with this). There is a lot better chance the companies I mentioned above have the resources, expertise and experience, and money to foot the bill for ALL of that than some current or former bodybuilder or influencer trying to run a business and still make a buck.

I have personally seen a lot more claimed material failing testing in the last 6 months or so and I believe that stems from the supply chain and China/foreign raws.
