I take a multivitamin every day, and that is about it. Its mostly to get enough iodine because I'm a vegetarian.

Like any typical university student I do a lot of smoking and drinking and drugs.
I'm thinking about getting some more supplements to help out my body with dealing with all the crap I'm giving it. Specifically I'm thinking about Milk Thistle and B-50. The stuff is pretty cheap.

Milk Thistle - 30 1000mg caps for $4.14
B-50 - 100caps for $3.59

I also read that smokers deplete vitamin C about twice as fast as a nonsmokers.
Should I get some of that as well?

Vitamin C - 500mg 250caps for $3.22

I'm looking at $1.60 a month for the B-50 and Vitamin C
Its not really that much money if it actually helps

$5.75 a month if I include the milk thistle as well

What supplements do you take regularly and what do you recommend?

I take:

1 multivitamin
2-3 fish oil capsules
2-3 green tea capsules

/day

I'm starting to take ginseng for various reasons, and am going to incorporate about 3g of piracetam into my diet also.

I'm also a protein junkie, so i have a 10lb bag of whey i make shakes with.

I'm currently taking two capsules of "AcaiPure" everyday. It's main ingredient is acai fruit but also includes a bunch of other natural herbs.

And I feel great. This stuff is, to my surprise, making me feel better, which isn't even the intended effect. It's supposed to make me eat less, which I haven't noticed, but if I smoke and take a cup of coffee after a couple days of taking this stuff I actually feel euphoric. To prove to myself that this stuff is working, I didn't take if for two days and the effects wore off.

You can get 60 caps for free from www.acai-pure.com. But WARNING: by giving them your credit card information (for s+h) they sign you up for a subscription to www.fit-fac.com and charge you $30. So just call their customer service and cancel your subscription and get a refund.
