I know there is always controversy surrounding what supplements, if any, someone should take whether they are athletic or not but I have my own personal arsanal of pills that I choke down each day and I certainly do hope it's not for naught!
I'm going to briefly go over what I take each day and why and then you can decide for yourself if you want to add it to your vitamin repertoire.
First of all, the majority and most throat-consuming pills I take are recommended by Timothy Ferris, author of "The 4-Hour Body". They are called PAGG. Policosanol, alpha lipoic acid, green tea extract and garlic extract. I take these FOUR times a day with only the Policosanol at night.
All four of these supplements are explained in detail in Ferris' book.
Now, the rest which are taken sporadically throughout the day:
Vitamin D3- Pure Pharma brand
Fish Oil - Pure Pharma brand
Magnesium and Zinc - Pure Pharma brand
GROH - hair vitamin
Lurong Essential - velvet deer antler for fast muscle recovery
Green Coffee Bean Extract - fat loss
I also, on occasion, take L-Glutamine and L-Carnitine for carb and sugar cravings!
For more interesting information regarding the world of Amino Acids, I recommend the DIET CURE book.

Falling off the face of the Earth!
Seriously, I cannot believe that it's been close to a year since I last blogged! That just about explains my life - totally into something one minute and the next - WHERE'd SHE GO?
However, I must say that I AM just as into fitness and nutrition as I ever have been regardless of my blogging or not. Maybe I just thought I ran out of things to say...that I was boring...blah blah. Anyway, I will make a better effort to enlighten all my "fans" out there with hopefully a few more entries.
There are sooo many exercise (never spell that correctly!) and nutrition tips out there I think "Why would anyone listen to me?". Guess what? I have tried just about everything and/or at least read about it to some capacity that I venture to guess I am not completely ignorant on nutrition and fitness!
I wouldn't even stop at nutrition and fitness. Is there an Infomercial you keep watching and wondering if you should try? Chances are, I've tried it! i.e. Wen hair product, Suzanne Somer's FaceMaster, home ultrasound machines, gazillion vitamin supplements, makeup kits, hot buns (for my girls' hair), the list goes on and on. I am the poster girl for consumerism!!!
But, I digress. I want this blog to feed you with healthy ways to continue your life path and maybe a few options to add to your daily rituals. With that said, I shall continue with options in subsequent posts. Stay tuned!!!
