i'll go in on this one.

syntax: Supplement -- Importance(1[low]-10[high]) -- comment

Fish Oil -- 9 -- Essential Fatty Acids are a must on some pretty solid different levels
Vitamin B -- 6 -- Not much gets absorbed via digestion, but does provide energy
Milk Thistle -- 8 -- I wany my liver as good as possible
Calcium and Vit D -- 7 -- Replace the calcium lost during protein digestion aka stronger bones
Multi Vitamin -- 6 -- to get all my vitamins (digestion hinders actual absorbtion of these vits/mins tho)
CEE -- 6 -- a good creatine, noticing strength gains
BCAA's -- 7 -- good for PWO
Waxy Maize -- 7 -- fast digesting carb, good with whey protein for PWO
Big Blast(protein formula from proteinfactory.com) -- 7 -- Good blend of proteins great for PWO
Amplify02 -- 8 -- Great preworkout stimulant, the NO is cool... good pumps and focus
Lipoflame -- 7 -- good cardio enhancer, decent results
5htp-melatonin-valarian root -- 7 -- for a good night sleep
Oxycodone -- 1 -- terrible

5htp-melatonin-valarian root -- 7 -- for a good night sleep

How is this working out for ya?

I've read that melatonin supps shouldn't be used long term and could be dangerous. I have to look up the valarian root.

I can always use help in the sleep dept.

It's a nice combo. Could you elaborate a little on the 'dangerous' side of melatonin? I'm interested because I've been taking these sleeping caps for more then the reccommened time... and sometimes I feel anxious during the day without them.
Thanks

Well, I'm no guru but after doing a google search and reading a bit....one of the things that stuck in my head was that you shouldn't use it long term because of possible dangerous sides.

Here is a sample of what I found.

Sounds iffy to me. But I'm sure it would be just as easy to find a site saying it cures cancer too.

Sesamin, Multivit/mineral, Vitamin C, Grape Seed Extract, L-Carnitine, Cytolean, Thyrotabs and Chromium. The ones I can remember.

AMP02 ALREADY GOT CEE IN IT

true, I don't take the reccommended serving all the time. Infact I only use Amp maybe 3 times a week tops, so I pop CEE on days I don't take Amp.
