A trainer shares five supplements he uses and recommends to clients: KTS Solutions Electrolytes for its 1:1.6 sodium-to-potassium ratio, TriMag Night Powder for magnesium's role in muscle relaxation and sleep, protein powder to hit 2 grams per kilogram of body weight, vitamin D as an immune stabilizer, and B-vitamins because water-soluble vitamins are excreted daily.

I want to go through my list of top 5 supplements and tell you what I think are the number 1 supplements that I use very, very regularly with most clients who come through. KTS Solutions electrolytes. The reason why I love these electrolytes is because not only does it has the perfect ratio of sodium potassium, which is he puts it in a 1 to 1.6 ratio of sodium potassium, which is what's found in the human body. You've got your bicarbs in there. Your bicarbs also act as a buffer for lactic acid, so perfect for training. TriMag Night Powder. If I could bottle one supplement, I would bottle sleep and give it to people because it's the biohack everything. The reason why it's our biggest selling product is because when people use it, they get the benefit. They sleep better, they're more rested, more relaxed. Magnesium does help with that relaxation phase of the muscle. You've got your contraction and relaxation. It is involved in over 300 chemical functions. Protein powder for me would be my number 3. I recommend protein powder for most clients. The reason is, is most people don't eat enough protein. So if we want recomposition with our physiques, you know, the numbers are pretty clear. We want to have at least 2 times our body weight in kilos of grams of protein. Vitamin D has so many uses inside the body. Immune stabilizer, it works on the immune system as well, helps calming down the immune system. It helps activate the immune system. My number 5 supplement is B vitamins. The reason why I put B vitamins is you have your fat-soluble and your water-soluble vitamins. Obviously vitamin A, vitamin D, E, K, they're your fat-soluble vitamins, so they're stored, they can accumulate inside the fat cell. Your water-soluble vitamins require to be topped up every day because your water-soluble vitamins can be excreted out of the system through urine and sweat. So B vitamins for me is almost like my all-purpose multivitamin.
