As for me, I’m looking for different over the counter options that I currently may not be considering at the moment. I pretty much train like a triathlete, with a mixture of bodybuilding, powerlifting, calaesthetics, and long distance running. I probably would consider SARMs but would like to peak out by OTC means before going that route.

I currently take:
pre workout (either pre jym or generic gold standard)
Fish oils
Protein shake (usually whatever is on sale at Sam’s or Costco. GNC can SMD)
&
Generic Creatine mono hydrate

What other OTC sups should I be adding to increase performance?

I’d add BCAAs. Helps with recovery and endurance. Can take it pre, during or post. I prefer during just because it helps with my water intake while working out.

I could for sure up my intake of these for sure. Used to buy them in bulk but I haven't in a while and just sort of fell by the waste side when I switched to the PreJym because they have BCAAs in it. Probably not enough though...

I make my own preworkout because it's cheaper over the long run and I know exactly what I'm getting.

Caffeine
Citrulline Malate
Creatine
Bcaa
Beta alanine

Days I'm not working out I just take creatine.

I use hemp protein over whey, healthier and easier on the stomach/bowels. Taste may be an issue for some.
Also:
Olive/avacado/hemp/coconut oils for fat.
Krill oil
Creatine
Ipamorelin/mod-grf stack for the wide spectrum of health benefits.

I’ve missed many a workout due to injury in the past. I’d consider a couple things for your joints: Glucosamine/chon/msm obviously, I also take apple cider vinegar, fish collagen, curcumin with black pepper and whole food vitamin c (not ascorbic acid) for collagen synthesis. The black pepper extract is important as it significantly increases absorption of curcuminoids and vitamin C and it’s cheap. I’ve had multiple serious injuries and my pain baseline is down to zero.
