    L-Carnitine
    Co Q-10
    Super B-Complex
    L-Glutamine
    Biotin
    Chromium Picolinate


    thanks!

    At 320, switch to cycling on my Trek 500
    2 filtered containers water/day

    A compounding pharmacist told me that supplements are best taken 12 hours after awakening. (with dinner) Something to do with our circadian rhythm and our metabolism being able to utilize and get the most out of the supplements.

      I used to take 9 supplements with a big breakfast but since my appetite decreased I started getting nauseous after taking them so I have divided them up between breakfast and lunch. 4 supplements after breakfast and 5 during lunch which works out pretty well with no side effects.

          I've noticed if I take all my supplements at one time I will throw up. Defeats the purpose, no? LOL I hate throwing up!

          I just take 2 at a time throughout the day.
