hello I'm welcome to a new video in this
0:02
video I will be running through
0:03
everything supplements okay it's a
0:07
massively massively asked question do
0:09
you need them don't you need them what
0:11
to take well not to take what I
0:13
personally take it how often to take
0:16
things what it does is a side effects
0:18
etc etc etc hopefully this video will
0:21
clear up all of the do's that don't
0:25
store how to's and the what not to tape
0:27
and stuff there's some cool new things
0:30
that are out that I've been using and
0:32
trying which I'll let you know my review
0:34
on and there's also things I've been
0:36
using for years and years and years
0:38
which will tell you the benefits of and
0:41
how it helps you and how it fits into
0:44
your day or your daily routine yeah
0:47
let's get this video going okay so the
0:54
first supplements I'm gonna run through
0:55
the simple and easy ones and that's just
0:58
these help pills and potions here in the
1:01
corner a bit hit-and-miss whether I take
1:03
these every single day or not the only
1:04
one that I say that I would take on a
1:07
regular basis without forgetting is my
1:10
immediate three I do go through these
1:11
quite quickly I have recently purchased
1:14
cod liver oil to replace it with because
1:17
it's meant to absorb into your system a
1:19
little bit quicker there were better
1:20
something try that out shortly but um
1:23
break the thief yet but remember with
1:26
any supplements your videos in like this
1:28
it all can be found within regular food
1:32
so yeah just put it out there straight
1:35
away you don't necessarily need to take
1:36
these pills to be able to consume these
1:37
vitamins lots of things like save them
1:40
and see finally oranges and etc etc so
1:43
it's just in case you find yourself
1:45
deficient in a particular pizza min okay
1:48
so the first one we go for is the Amiga
1:50
3 and kind of run really good for your
1:54
brain health your joint health bone
1:56
health pretty much an all-rounder pretty
1:59
that your immune system
2:01
helps boost your immune system and all
2:04
your different functions to be able to
2:06
perform a little bit better okay so the
2:08
next one we have is a daily multivitamin
2:10
very very simple it's basically just so
2:13
you have a boost of a multitude of
2:17
Fitzsimmons minerals it's good for like
2:19
an any good energy balance and basically
2:22
just helping you be normal deficient in
2:25
particular vitamins and minerals
2:28
throughout the day okay so the next one
2:29
the key is Mindy three three good for
2:32
your teeth your bones basically so yeah
2:35
if you have any issues with your bones
2:37
you probably be recommended to take
2:39
vitamin d3 okay next up we have the
2:42
vitamin C it does help increase your
2:45
immunity to just regular colds and yeah
2:48
it's a good little thing you find these
2:50
in oranges it's about do you get plenty
2:52
off of this clock top here just in case
2:55
I don't have any fruit kicking around
2:56
there you go clearly see okay next up we
3:00
have the zinc and magnesium a very good
3:04
little combo this one is very good for
3:06
muscle recovery
3:07
it helps us sleep helps with hair and
3:09
nails and give joints so if you have
3:12
hard to saw jokes in the past or you
3:14
have soul joints now you've probably
3:16
heard or have been recommended some zinc
3:19
and magnesium so yeah it's very good for
3:22
that sort of stuff
3:24
Oh on to the big boys the first one we
3:30
go with is pre-workout this is the
3:32
pre-workout hi have I there is loads of
3:34
other ones from my protein but the one I
3:37
like is this one here the sour gummy
3:39
flavor it's just like a kick in the face
3:42
basically this how I can best explain it
3:44
it's very sour I kind of like my
3:46
pre-workout side up because I get the
3:48
caffeine hit kind of reached those are
3:51
taste sensations in my mouth and I feel
3:53
more awake instantly as I like pretty
3:55
much take the supplement pre-workout is
3:58
basically for instance if you are
4:00
wanting to go on workout you don't
4:03
really feel like you have the energy
4:04
you're in a bit of a slump
4:07
Khambhat mood pretty work has a very
4:10
good way of sort of lighting your life
4:13
up in a sense to be able to get in the
4:16
mood
4:16
get moving and get a good workout one
4:20
thing I will say is that don't take this
4:22
all of the time it is only when I feel
4:24
like I am low on energy which to be
4:27
honest a lot of the time I am a bit of a
4:30
coffee fan so the caffeine from the
4:32
coffee keeps me plenty by caffeine those
4:36
caffeinated basically I have plenty of
4:38
energy from regular diet and good sleep
4:41
and stuff anyway
4:42
but I only take this what I really like
4:44
I really can't be bothered so would
4:47
recommend it this one is particularly
4:49
good if you're looking for a very nice
4:51
flavor and like I said it it packs a
4:53
punch and this is in sour gummy this one
4:55
but yeah pre-workout if you take it
5:00
often very often like every single day
5:03
every workout you can't become reliant
5:05
on it a pretty worker can't become a
5:07
placebo so for instance you may not
5:10
actually be getting any benefit from
5:11
taking the pre-workout because you take
5:13
it so often and basically when you run
5:17
out or you know how many around you then
5:19
find that you your brain is kind of
5:23
wired into the sense that you need
5:25
work out to have a good workout which is
5:27
definitely not the case okay it just
5:29
allows you to focus a little bit better
5:31
as you two get up and get after it a
5:34
little bit better but it is definitely
5:36
not needed every single day every single
5:38
workout so basically this is a clear way
5:41
isolate this looks like kind of a
5:45
holiday extended species you got water
5:47
you put in that you're cordial when you
5:50
shake up it's basic just like a juice
5:51
drink this one is not vegan this is a
5:55
way product but again it tastes
5:58
fantastic
5:58
you've got the refreshness flavor here
6:00
which is my favorite one is very low on
6:02
calories and it's a very simple way of
6:06
getting in some protein getting a good
6:09
amount of water as well obviously this
6:11
is not with milk you dope of this with
6:13
milk and it's just like having like a
6:15
juice drink like a tropical sour flavor
6:18
juice drink it sort of being smashing
6:21
this the past few days well somewhere
6:22
there's been others and just say you
6:24
know as well i am absolutely swear
6:26
incidentally all right next up very
6:28
similar product but a vegan version i
6:30
have already gone through the lemon and
6:33
lime flavor so i'm on to the strawberry
6:36
again it's just just as nice to be fair
6:39
but the strawberry one is I would say a
6:43
little bit less punchy and it's very
6:46
very much like just having like five ena
6:49
and you just basically put it says 1/2
6:52
scoops which is one serving which is 10
6:56
grams of protein I personally like to
6:58
have 3 scoops which is 20 grams of
7:02
protein you do go through a little bit
7:04
quicker but yeah it's fantastical
7:07
product ok you probably seen me on
7:10
Instagram stories putting this with like
7:12
a big container of water some ice and
7:17
then 2 3 scoops of this and what parish
7:20
a cup is perfect next up we will run
7:23
with the vegan protein blend this is my
7:26
second packet of this I do like to have
7:30
in products when I have a backup
7:33
basically if I feel like I'm full up for
7:37
a wind gassy I've been away I eat
7:40
something the past couple of days which
7:41
is not being my agreeing with me or I'm
7:43
feeling a bit funny because I can
7:45
illness or bad stomach I am personally
7:47
not vegan I do eat meat but I do consume
7:51
quite a few vegan products when I'm
7:54
feeling like I fancy I'm just looking
7:57
after my girl a little bit to list I am
7:59
a massive chocolate fiend
8:01
if you probably haven't guessed already
8:02
I don't really try the strawberry
8:06
flavors and summer so I can't comment on
8:09
on this sort of taste of a strawberry
8:11
flavors but anything chocolate could be
8:13
some cream that sort of thing that's
8:15
that's me down to a tee
8:17
so I'm just using a chocolate one and
8:19
yeah with something like a cashew milk
8:22
because I can't have almond wouldn't
8:24
ever replace any sort of meals any
8:29
regular meals I breakfast lunch and
8:31
dinner with a shake okay with up with a
8:34
protein shake or something like that the
8:36
key word is in the name it's a
8:38
supplement and they are to supplement
8:40
alongside a breaking the thigh just want
8:42
to get that in their belly next up we
8:46
have essential BCA's it's basically if
8:50
you don't know what BCAAs or eat
8:52
together it's basically just if protein
8:57
was a football you know how you put the
9:01
little little sort of hexagons all over
9:03
we are on a football little patches if
9:05
you took all the patches off of a
9:07
football each one would be an essential
9:09
than me the elastic or an amino acid
9:11
okay so when you ball in patches
9:13
together you have a football football
9:15
this protein that's basically the best
9:17
way I can explain it I have it in my
9:19
water when I'm working out it's like a
9:21
flavor enhancer just so I'm not thinking
9:23
like sort of unflavored water when I'm
9:26
working out just day-to-day for a walk
9:28
just for something for flavor really
9:31
next time we have a whey protein isolate
9:34
whey protein is a fantastic way of
9:36
getting in some easy calories
9:38
it's easy protein and basically there
9:41
there's a little fan these are low in
9:42
sugar as well as 21 grams of protein per
9:44
serving I'm a little bit of a to serving
9:49
guy and I also like to do it with 300
9:52
mils of full fat milk and then run about
9:56
100 250 mils of water just to make it a
10:00
little bit more running yeah that's how
10:03
I go about it again as you can tell this
10:05
chocolate mint um
10:06
all about the chocolate flavors but yeah
10:09
a staple in anybody's sort of supplement
10:12
bundle it's fairly easy to consume you
10:15
know in the kitchen could kind of a meal
10:17
that quick a little snack whatever it's
10:20
get say my protein in last but by no
10:23
means least this is probably what I
10:25
would call the sort of daddy of all
10:27
supplements is the king the boss the the
10:31
one and only thing it also recommend one
10:34
supplement it would be to be to have
10:37
creative cuisine is scientifically one
10:41
of the only supplements to actually
10:43
promote a lot of benefits with regards
10:46
to muscle strength muscle endurance but
10:49
it is found by bread meat so if you are
10:51
a red meat eater you will find that you
10:55
are consuming it anyway be a fantastic
10:57
fantastic supplement there's different
10:59
ways to take a knee you can take about 5
11:01
milligram at 5 grams a day sorry over I
11:03
find a fairly decent period of time or
11:05
if you want to load it it's like a
11:07
loading phase of around about 15 bombs
11:09
of that day 1 day 2 day 3 then 10 and
11:14
then down to 5 on the following days and
11:16
that basically just it gets a lousy
11:18
system I've thrown about four or five
11:20
days you'll see like a big sort of
11:23
decent difference in your strength and
11:25
even like the feeling of your muscles
11:27
you'll feel thicker and sort of tighter
11:29
within your skin that makes sense when
11:32
you're working on whatnot but yeah it's
11:34
a fantastic product if I was going to
11:35
recommend anything it would be crazy
11:37
I hope this videos holds out hope it's
11:39
cleaning up some some lines I don't know
11:41
how it helps you understand what you
11:45
should order and what you'd be able to
11:46
