    ashwaganda is the ultimate recovery supplement, especially if you can manage to source the least synthetic form possible. Helps with mood, focus, hormone production (including test), and joint and muscle health. Not specifically a fitness supplement but it sure is a great one. Tongkat is a another good one and arguably even better for fitness.

    At least for me Creatine monohydrate has one more effect: I have tendinopathy and went through few fractures, and creatine helps for the pain and joint strength A LOT. I can't really say I feel its effect on workout potential as much as it does for my joint mobility. This is just anecdotal personal experience, as I haven't seen any research confirming it, but if you have joint pain you can give it a shot.

    Some supplements with solid research and studies proving effectiveness for muscle strength: Shilajit and Tongkat Ali. I personally really enjoy TA and like it more-so than Ashwagandha because it’s more energizing than sedative. Shilajit has also been proven to optimize hormone levels as well as increase muscle mass and strength. These two stacked together are great for gains. I would advise these much before Turkesterone. I would put these two in a luxury category. If you can afford to have them - I’d say get them. Check pubmed for the research as they are all solid.

    Protein whey - prefer isolate

    Pre-workout - use high caffeine on Friday/Saturday, stim free weekdays so I don't screw my sleep up
    Vitamin D - high dose 4000iu (i'm indoors a bit too much)
    Fish Oil - Omega3 good for inflammation
    Glucosamine and chondroitin - good for joints (although scientists don't know why only that the results show improved cartilage)
    Probiotic digestive enzymes - gut health & improves nutrient absorption
    Psyllium husks high fibre - find this has helped keep good digestion with a high protein diet
    ZMA - zinc magnesium vitamin B6
    Electrolyte complex - mainly for potassium & salt, recently learned salt also helps absorption of creatine
    If cutting will add a multivitamin

    Agreed 100%. If I have to choose only one supplement, it will be creatine definitely.
    From my perspective, proteine in all its forms is unnecessary, if you are able to get all the proteine you need from natural protein sources, also receiving other macronutrients in healthy proportions.
    Caffeine is unnecessary also. It's easy way to get perked up, but if you have to do it, you possibly need to reconstruct your work/life balance.

    Although ashwagandha is mainly beneficial for things like stress and anxiety. There is evidence it does this by lowering cortisol. High cortisol levels can inhibit testosterone production, reduce test levels and block the effects of test. Which means indirectly ashwagandha may raise or maintain testosterone levels, but only for people with high cortisol levels.

    The only thing I disagree with is putting other Creatine forms below Monohydrate.
    Just by basic chemistry, Creatine HCL is identical to Monohydrate, except its the hydrochloride salt of Creatine. That theoretically makes it more water soluble and intestine-friendly. As someone with IBS, that's a life saver; I need to avoid bloating.
    There's no solid data suggesting that any one form of Creatine is superior in terms of its effect, but HCL tastes so much better to me and mixes so darn easily, even in a cup without any shaking. So, it at least deserves to share S-tier with Monohydrate.

    I would appreciate a supplement and diet guide to improve muscle health, growth, strength etc without fat gain for those who can not lift weights or engage in much exercise due to illness. Illness related muscle atrophy and osteoporosis are so prevalent in people... not just older adults, but young people too. What supplements and diet do you suggest? Many supplements only really work when combined with excerise so I would love to hear your thoughts to help me (and others in the same situation)

    So basically just GET YOUR PROTEIN and take a standard pre-workout mix with Caffeine, Cirtulline, Beta Alanine, and Creatine. Anything else is basically speculation or already covered by a balanced diet, or if you have a vitamin deficiency.

      Dianabol really isn't considered that good. Your mainly just gaining water weight. You may look bigger, but that's just water added to your muscles. Once you get off dianabol all that water weight is gone and you shrink back to before you took it. It's a waste honestly, and some say it makes it easier to tear and hurt your muscles because it's inflammatory. To each his own though. But if your gonna get into peds, sarms, prohormone, and straight up testosterone are really the only big enhancing drugs. Massive side effects yes, but they do actually build muscle. Is it worth it, that's all up to you.

    Couple of corrections (sorry my dude, got my masters in sports nutrition so did a lot of studying on these):
    Sodium Bicarbonate is actually used more for hydrogen buffering (similar to beta alanine) so it could actually be ranked higher.
    The dosage for beta alanine should actually br no more than 2 grams per dose which shouldnt cause parasthesia. If you get that tingly feeling, you’ve taken to much and your body wont absorb as much of that dose.
    Something that would be interesting to have included would be which supplements contain banned substances and should be avoided due to that.
    Other than that, most everything sounds about right! Keep up the great videos!

    I'm pretty sure I'm a non responder to creatine, or the difference is so unsignificant that I just can't tell. I have been taking it for around 9 months and the only thing that I have suspected was that it made me gain a bit of water weight (like 1 - 1.5kg at most) but looks wise it made no difference and my strength was improving before I took creatine as well and it didn't suddenly increase more so I don't think it did anything in that area either.

    One thing to consider is that hitting your protein goals isn’t typically through food alone can be very difficult and expensive depending on what you’re going for. Because of this I would actually put Protein above creatine, especially since studies show most people aren’t getting enough protein

The stuff I'm taking has creatine gluconate as the main component with added CM, caffeine, bicarbonate soda, beta alanine, leucine, taurine, and some others. The instructions say only take before workout, so I'm taking CM for a bit more rest day energy. Hope it works. 🙏

    Pretty much agree with the tiers, but I do like a good ZMA though, but as a non sedative sleep aid and as a source to supplement my magnesium and zinc for immunity. And I have only seen l-carnitine marketed for burning fat, not the benefits that you listed, although I doubt that it does any of the above, because I don’t think most people are deficient in it anyway.

    Citrulline Malate is nice if it is say a 3 to 1 ratio of L Citrulline and malic acid. L Citrulline alone has a similar effect as L Argenine, so not that great.
    Caffeine while indeed actually boosting workout performance also hinders sleep and sleep quality, even if taken in early afternoon and thus preventing proper muscle recovery + buildup.
    BCAA, as supplement, are is basically just a scam considering the fact that you can get all your amino acids from a halfways proper diet or even a cheapo dollarstore Whey Concentrate since it already has like a somewhat proper distribution of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine in a 2:1:1 ratio and perhaps at around 5 grams of those amino acids per serving. You only need BCAA supplements if you actually KNOW you are in a deficit of them and even then you should consider substituting it with proper food since its cheaper and healthier after all.
    Otherwise a neat tierlist, I would also add Theanin and Melatonin in the tierlist, good sleep is often overlooked when it comes to building muscle
