Top 4 supplements eveyone should take:
- Creatine Monohydrate
- Caffeine
- Whey Protein
- Omega-3s
Creatine, yes. I use both the kre-Alkalyn version and sometimes regular creatine monohydrate. This since almost all serious research has been done on the monohydrate version. But for for me, I get a more positive feeling after ingesting the Kre-Alkalyn version of creatine. Kre-Alkalyn was once marketed to have better bioavailability, but that claim has been debunked. I can only speculate why I get this more positive feeling. Maybe it is as simple as the fact that I get a tiny bit of gastro upset from the monohydrate. Since the PH value is different, I speculate that my positive feeling from the Kre version of creatine has something to do with the difference in PH value and effect on the gut-brain axis. Who knows? But if someone, like me, gets a bit of stomach upset from the creatine monohydrate, then the Kre version could be a more expensive alternative.
And on the above list of four, I would change Whey protein to Collagen. And omega-3 to curcumin.
Which is why it is probably best not to limit to 4 items. Both curcumin and omega 3 have merits. They operate in very different ways.
