Every once in a while, I feel like I should be taking some sort of multivitamin supplement. I do it for a few days then forget all about it. I've had a big bottle of multivitamins in my medicine cabinet for years. I think it expired in 2010.
The closest thing to a nutritional supplement I use regularly are the Nuun fizzy tablets that go in your water bottle. For years I suffered with really bad headaches after intense rides that were likely caused by dehydration (I'm a super-sweater) and Nuun has virtually cured those. I think the electrolytes help but it they also just make it so much easier to drink enough water during and after a ride.
After listening to Michael Hutchinson's Faster, the audiobook @seanrunnette published (which you should to BTW), I started thinking more about supplements and how useful or necessary they are. He claims, for example, that some supplements like Omega 3's are really worthwhile but many others are worthless.
Three simple questions:
1) What do you take?
2) Why do you take it?
3) Where do you buy it?
