Top 10 supplements I take to optimize my health and body:

Whey protein
I drink a shake in the morning because I like to have a light breakfast while getting protein first thing in the morning.
My target is to hit .8 grams of protein per lb of bodyweight & a double scoop of whey protein helps me hit this target every day.

I look at greens powder as a form of nutrient insurance.
They contain high levels of vitamins & minerals, antioxidants & probiotics to support good health.
I use Athletic Greens because it's one of the highest-quality greens powders & has a long track record.
