I love supplements! Most people have a negative opinion on supplements but that’s their loss. In my opinion if you are following a good diet and a bad ass training routine and staying consistent with it… supplements can be a big help. In this blog I want to share some of my favorite supplements that are not very popular. These supplements are not widely used but I am a big fan of these and I think you need to add these to your arsenal.
Ashwaghanda
This is a fruit/herb which looks like a tomato from the Himalayan mountains. You can find this supplement at your local vitamin shop. This supplement makes you relax and relieves stress. The less stressed you are the more chances you have to raise your testosterone and therefore build more muscle. Even if you’re not looking to build muscle you can still take this supplement and it will help you relax and sleep better. You will be in a better mood overall. Best dosage for Ashwaghanda is 600 mg of KSM 66. KSM 66 is the best quality in terms of this supplement.

Citrulline malate
This a fun supplement. There is a good chance that this supplement is in your pre workout but most pre workouts get the dosage wrong. The perfect dosage for this supplement is 6 grams. I love getting this supplement on its own. What does it do you may ask? It help you get insane pumps in the gym! Essentially this is the best supplement for pumping oxygen in your veins. It is really good for your health too, it helps your kidneys stay healthy and is naturally found in watermelons. This is a great supplement to add to your batch due to this being good for your overall being and also helping you get insane pumps in the gym.
Melatonine
One of the most important aspects to fitness and bodybuilding is for you to be able to give your body enough rest to recover. You break your muscles in the gym and eat a lot of protein but you need a good amount of sleep and rest for your body to develop bigger and stronger muscles. That’s where melatonine comes in. Melatonine is great sleep supplement. Take 3-5 mg a couple hours before you go to bed and it will help you get a restful sleep.
Fish oil
Last supplement I want to talk about is fish oil. Good old omega 3s. According to some bodybuilders it is the greatest supplement. It has so many different benefits. My favorite benefit from this supplement is that this supports bone health and is really good for your joints. If you are attempting personal records on squats, you do not want your knees to start hurting. Obviously you should always warm up well before you lift heavy but fish oil will help in this regard. This supplement has heart and liver benefits and can help with a lot more. You really cannot go wrong with this one.
