Which are your favourites, and what do you take them for? To clarify, I don't really care to hear too much of "I take a multivitamin to cover my bases". I'm more concerned about hearing about supps you take that give noticeable differences in how you feel. Here's what I like: whey - needs no explanation soy lecithin granules - mental and sexual zinc gluconate - sexual spirulina - all around energy gaba, magnesium - sleep aids maca - preworkout I know it's a lot, but it's all generally pretty cheap, especially when ordered in bulk, as I do the whey and spirulina.

I'll make a whey shake when I can't get enough meat.

Other than that, Creatine.

The rest of the legal stuff is snake-oil, IMO...

Do you guys actually notice anything taking fish oil? I've taken it for a while but felt no different so I stopped. I was also taking the more expensive high EPA/DHA capsules and still nothing.

The only reason I take the supplements I do is because I notice an effect.

I cover my omega 3s with diet anyway since I love coldwater fish.

I think it's one of those thing you aren't supposed to feel...but then 20 years down the road, maybe you'll be thankful you took them. I don't know, I remember reading a guys opinion that most people expect miracles from supplements, when the real reason to take them is to prolong good health for as long as possible, not provide immediate changes.
