I exercise daily. Usually alternating between heavy lifting days and days where I do cardio and light kettlebells to maintain flexibility. I take creatine daily, but no other supplements.
What supplements should I be taking? Preferably ones that have some quantifiable benefit for gaining/maintaining muscle mass or improving recovery time. I'm not interested in powerlifting (it's dubiously attractive for men and straight up ugly for women), so screwing around with hormones holds zero appeal. I'm also not interested in bro-logic nonsense like pounding a ton of caffeine. Giving yourself hypertension isn't making you stronger, it just makes you jittery.
Do I need protein supplements? Or is that readily doable from my protein-heavy home cooking?
