Default The 'must' have suplements?
Right now all i take is cold liver oil capsuals and vitamin a,b,c,d,e combined capsuals.

I dont want to go suplement mad just need to know the best and 'must have' oils/vitamins supplements. (no more than 5 really)

Oh im also getting whey soon so dont bother saying that.

So basicaly which oils or vitamin products should i invest in. (only say percific brands if your from the uk)

thanks

Nothing is really a must have if you can get the nutrients through real food. Whey definitely helps get the proper amount of protein into my diet though.

In a perfect world, the would be no need for them. However, real life happens. Therefore, we need a good multi, supplemental EFAs, and whey. Other stuff is not required, but nice to have (creatine,etc).

My list of "musts" is very short:

Multivitamin (GNC MegaMen, One-A-Day Men's Health, etc.)
Whey Protein (you said you're getting this)
Creatine (preferably Kre-Alkyn, but mono's good too)
*edited in* Fish Oil (Omega-3)

Otherwise, that's it. Along with real food.
