54 years old, I've been tracking my macros, getting 200g of protein daily, taking creatine daily. I just finished month two of Insanity Max 30. Planning on getting a rowing machine soon for home use. I've dropped 40 lbs since July, down to 200 lbs at 6'1" and I feel great... so I want to keep my fitness going, but travel pretty regularly for a few months at a time. I'm going to be gone again for a few months in about 15 days. I really don't want to take all of the supplements with me that I take daily at home... the more minimal I can make it and not be "lacking," the better. My current daily regimen, based on research I did a couple years ago, this is my morning pee brightener: Fish oil, 1200 mg Multivitamin (Equate, 50+ Men's) D3 10 mcg B Complex Zinc 50 mg C 500 mg L-Citrulline 1500 mg L-Lysine 1000 mg DHEA 100mg Potassium 99mg Magnesium 400mg Niacin 400mg Creatine 5g The DHEA, Citrulline, etc was added to try to get whatever testosterone maintenenance/boost I could since I'm not on TRT. I'm wondering if I should just take a break from all that and just do a multivitamin while I'm traveling... I do have a gym at my AirBnB so I'll be continuing to do workouts. This is the DV breakdown for the multivitamin I use... will it be "enough," or will I be lacking with just this? (Also... with this multivitamin, should I consider trimming down my current list of supplements so I get value without just having expensive urine?)

Take the Zinc, C, Magnesium, and DHEA with you for sure. Do you cycle the DHEA? At 100mg, I wouldn't want to go cold turkey. HOWEVER, make sure it's legal where you are going. I would add CoQ10 to the stack someday. And Iodine. But don't start that now. ETA: "Expensive Urine" is a narrative probably created by the pharmaceutical industry. To me, it indicates sufficient supplementation! |
KEEP CALM and let ME Carry On.
