I have been supplementing vitamins for a year and a half at the date of this post. To Identify my stack and have it published will make it easier to refer back to it. This is not completed, every day is a new trial, but this sheet does represent my daily stack, as recorded on my personal tracking form every morning.
The information below is also located on this google sheet if you want to edit it for your own use. I can only endorse this as far as my own experience. Do your own research, I can’t emphasise that enough. Read books, read papers, read examine.com, talk to people about what they take and run your own trials because every body’s biochemistry will be a tiny bit different.
