I was asked to rank five different supplements that athletes use commonly. All right, first up is caffeine. I’m going to put that at number four. It can improve alertness and performance, but too much can lead to dependence and poor sleep and jitteriness and anxiety and shaking hands. Not a huge fan. Use it wisely and definitely not as a daily fix. Next, there’s fish oil. I put that at number two. The omega-3s can help reduce inflammation and support joint and heart health, and most athletes don’t get enough through diet alone. Vitamin D was the next one to consider, and I’ll give that number five. It’s super important for bone health and immunity and hormone balance, but if your levels are normal, and you’re getting enough sun exposure, you may not need to supplement it year round at all. Now, let’s go to protein powder. I’ll put that at number three. It’s a convenient way to hit your daily protein target, but whole food protein sources should always come first. Supplements should fill gaps, not replace real meals. And finally, what I put in the number one top spot was creatine. It’s one of the most researched, effective, and safe supplements ever studied. It boosts strength, power, and recovery for virtually every athlete. If you train consistently and hard, creatine deserves a place in your stack. But again, not necessarily for everybody, not for normal activity.
