Aarons Essential Supplements

I believe creatine monohydrate to be the single most beneficial supplement for strength and physique athletes. It helps me train harder, for longer and recover faster between sets. It's Involved in the energy cycle within the muscle cell. Converts ADP back into ATP. ATP is the useable form of energy within our muscle cells.

I supplement with fish oil tabs to increase my omega 3 fatty acid intake. I also feel this helps reduce some of my inflammatory, tendinopathys.

I have what I would call a well balanced diet and I eat a very wide variety of fruit and vegetable matter, which is very important for gut health and getting all my micronutrients in, but with modern farming practices, depleted soils and GMO foods, I like to take a multivitamin anyway, just to cover all my bases, in case I am lacking in anything. If you are concerned about being deficient in any vitamins/minerals, go see a doctor and get your bloodwork done.

I had a cartilage graft in my left knee in 2003 and have been using this stuff thereafter. My cartilage graft has been pretty good since, so I continue to take this, in the hope that it extends the life of the graft.

I was hesitant to start using these off the back of my hippy, naturalist fathers advice, but they have really helped to reduce the inflammation in my triceps tendons, allowing me to actually do SOME triceps work!

Helps reduce muscle cramps/spasm/restlessness. I tend to get quite restless from time to time, especially after leg day and magnesium has helped to reduce this feeling and allow for better sleep.

Helps support a healthy immune system and male reproductive system. Started using zinc yeeaaars ago as a way of increasing the volume of my ejaculate (actually serious) and I have just continued to use it ever since!

Probably my second favourite supplement. I feel GABA helps me get to sleep faster and gives me a better quality of sleep. This has allowed me to survive, even though my total sleep volume hasn’t been good for years.
