What Supplements do you take? (for work, gym & Indie life)
I've been wondering what supplements you guys use to code, ship, and sell like the bad ass IndieHackes you are.
I'm an avid supplement lover and will use every advantage I can get my hands on to level up my mind, body, and even soul.
What supplements do you die by?
On a separate but related note... https://www.noothackers.com/
What do you think of this product? I'd love to hear if there is opportunity for it.
I'm taking a minimalist approach with just caffeine, protein, creatine, and nitric oxide. Dabbled with nootropics and more complicated stacks and found them to be ineffective for me.
I do plan on getting on T later in life though
I love that you said that about T. For me, after I have kids and I'm jumping on T in a heart beat hahah
What nootropics have you used? and for what purpose?
I’m the same! Give me any advantage that doesn’t appear to do long term damage.
All my supplements are workout related:
Yeha bro you rock the same stuff as me!
I took the BCAA's off my stack as I wasn't seeing much benefit from them. Do you feel the benefit?
What type of workouts do you do bro?
I take a few different supplements depending on what I'm trying to focus on at the time. For work, I take a nootropic stack that helps me to focus and stay on task. For the gym, I take a pre-workout supplement and a protein powder. And for Indie life, I take a vitamin B complex to help with energy levels.
Oooooo what Nootropic are you taking?
I'm interested in formulating a supplement product specifically for Indiehackers, what do you think of this Alex: https://www.noothackers.com/
Thank you very much for your insights Alex!!
if you guys are interested here is what I'm currently running:
Morning:
Tongkat Ali
Alpha GPC
Pre-workout:
Grenade pre workout powder
Epicatechin
Alpha GPC
Creatine
Evening:
Ecydesterone
Ashwaganda
Vitamin D
Multi Vit
Happy to explain what each of them does and why I use them too (for gym and Indie life)
Yea please explain further :)
Morning:
Tongkat Ali - (massive) Energy and Testosterone booster
Alpha GPC - Nootropic for cognition and power output. Taken in the morning for cognition/focus.
Pre-workout:
Grenade pre workout powder - General preworkout for energy, caffeine boost, pump for blood flow. Creatine and other ingredients also present that aid muscle growth.
Epicatechin - For blood flow around the body. Better pump in the gym. Inhibits myostatin production (a protein that stops muscle growth)
Alpha GPC - Taken pre workout for power output (up to 14% increase). Perfect for MMA and power training.
Creatine - Strenght increase
Evening:
Ecydesterone - Natural hormone that is used to increase gains and leanness. This is the best think you'll ever use as a natural for gains.
Ashwagandha - Helps me relax and sleep at night.
Vitamin D (high strength) - For Testosterone, skin, and helps me sleep at night.
Multi Vit - insurnace.
thanks! that's helpful
No worries! What are you most struggling with or looking to improve with supplements?
Thanks for sharing! Does Ashwaganda make you sleepy?
Ashwagandha makes me calm and at ease.
So if I take it in the morning it helps me with anxiety and staying grounded.
If I take it at the night it helps me sleep as I'm relaxed. It doesn't inherently make me sleepy, but enables me to get into a mindset when I am enabled to sleep. Hopefyully that explains it well?
Depends on what you want to use it for.
Have you tried it before?
