Yo this ACV stuff is the straight truth!
You can buy a big jar for like $2.
My energy levels have shot up significantly and I actually feel better overall.
I've been using the Coconut Oil as well. Good stuff.
Now, I just need to get on some fish oils. Can anyone on here can speak on that?
I can vouch for the ACV increasing energy levels. I isolated my intake in the morning, meaning I had nothing but water and a protein shake after my workout (skipped the coffee) and took ACV every day for a week and each day, about 15 minutes after taking it, my mood was just so fucking positive and I felt like I could do anything. I'll be taking this stuff every day now for the long haul.
I take fish oil every day. I had really high cholesterol years ago and treated it with fish oil, lean protein and exercise. My overall cholesterol went from 220 to 180 in about three months. I'm sure the diet and exercise were the major contributors, but I've been taking fish oil ever since. There are a lot of studies out there in support of fish oil. Helps stabilize the mood. The downside is the terrible aftertaste you get when you take the pills (burping up a fishy taste is common). I've known some people who take the actual oil, not the pill, with a dropper every day and this method has completely gotten rid of the burpy aftertaste.
For good measure, I also take a whole multi-vitamin with no iron (has to be whole) and drink green tea every day.
I used to take a shitload of supplements, and have experimented with just about everything out there, but in the end, I realized that a good multi-vitamin, green tea, and fish oil are all I need. Add ACV to the mix and I'm high on life. Will occasionally take L-Arginine after a workout, for a variety of reason but mainly the added benefit of good blood flow to the muscles (and solid erections from the nitric oxide).
As an aside, I've been using baking soda/corn starch on the armpits for two years now. Also rinse with an equal mix of water/peroxide. Natural is the only way to go!
Edited to add: for fish oil, if you want to take pills I wouldn't spend money on expensive brands. Just make sure the EPA + DHA = more than 500 for each pill and you're good to go. If you add fish oil into your long term plan, and I recommend it to anyone/everyone, then I'd opt for the actual oil, not the pills.
