Here are the supplements:

Vitamin D
Iodine
Fish Oil
Magnesium
MSM

1) Why no multivitamins? - every athlete has unique nutritional needs. Studies have shown that nutrient needs can very from person to person, even amongst twins! A multi-vitamin is only needed if you don’t eat real food.

2) I already eat healthy, do I need to take these supplements? Ultimately, the choice is yours. However, most athletes benefit from taking one or more of these supplements. These supplement are chosen because our American civilized lifestyle creates some nutritional black holes. The fact is every culture has these black holes, and so does every athlete. If you can identify these deficiencies, a whole new level of strength, speed, and mental toughness are available.

3) Should I take more? Maybe. True athletes always want more, more training, more practice, etc. The desire for more is at the core of what it is to be a competitive athlete. However, it is also the achilles heel of many athletes. Work with getting these five supplements right, you may find after that you have enough.
