Don't be a supplement junkie!!!

I recently read the autobiography "Romo" by Bill Romonowski. It was interesting that he takes so many differnt pills a day. He is what I term a supplement junkie! Don't fall into this trap!
There are some supplements I feel everyone needs to ensure good health but do not go the extreme!

I personally follow and highly recommend a higher protein diet (especially if you exercise often). My favorite protein supplement is Syntha-6 by BSN. It can be purchased online or at a local GNC. It is more of a high protein meal replacement, with added fiber. I drink 1-2 of these per day. I simply add 1 and 1 half scoops to 6 ounces of cold water and mix it in a shaker bottle. This takes care of my high protein snacks in between meals. So our protein bases are covered.

Believe it or not, I DO NOT even take a multi-vitamin! I do take the following everyday though, 4 (1000 mg) fish oil capsules per day (we must get our Omega-3!), 30 mg of Zinc, 2 grams of vitamin C and 400 IU of Vitmamin E. To ensure prostate health I take 12 mg of Lycopene per day. To maintain high nitric oxide levels in the blood and for circulatory health I take 4 grams of L-Arginine each day. THIS IS ALL I TAKE......Approximately a dozen pills per day. To some folks this may seem like quite a bit...but its not, especially compared to some supplement junkies!

MEN: I highly recommend the Lycopene capsules (can be purchased at any Walgreens or CVS) and I also highly recommend an NO (Nitric Oxide) supplement. This can actually prevent ED and is essential of penile health! No kidding! Your typical NO product has several versions of L-Arginine in it. I recommend starting at a dose of 6 grams per day and after a couple of months, tapering down to a maintenance dose of 4 grams per day. Try it, you'll be hooked! So will your lover/partner! Hoo-yah!!!
