If you know a little about me you probably know I'm addicted to the fitness lifestyle. I'm an extremely active person that loves to workout, train hard, and play a lot of sports. Along with creating movies/videos fitness is another passion of mine, and as a result is actually how the name "TheBuffNerds" came to be. That has become my brand, my identity, people know me as TheBuffNerd and I think that's awesome. Not only do I have the opportunity to inspire people through my videos, but I also have the ability to inspire people with their fitness goals. I get questions all the time like "What is my workout plan?" "What supplements do I take?" etc. So this post is dedicated to the top 5 supplements I take for my active lifestyle.
1. Protein Powder
A good protein powder is essential for anyone looking to build muscle. A lot of protein powders can be stacked with fillers and other non natural ingredients. I like to use Vega Sport Protein powder because it's a clean and plant-based, made from real whole food ingredients. It is Non-GMO Project verified, and vegan certified. Make sure you're putting quality products and supplements into your body!

2. MultiVitamin
Multivitamins are another key component to your bodies overall health and fitness. For the human body to complete all the tasks it has in a normal day, it must be given a wide and complex variety of vital nutrients. Becoming deficient in any one of these essential vitamins or minerals can cause a body efficiency and performance deficiencies goes down quick.
I personally like the Opti-Men Multivitamin for 1 because they're highly rated and you don't have to take 8 pills unlike some vitamin packs. It's a good solid multi-vitamin.

3. Greens
Green Vibrance: http://amzn.to/2alfhGn
When it comes to most peoples eating habits and diet plans a lot is left missing, most of which is usually a key component of any diet, fruits and especially vegetables. Green Vibrance is an awesome way to make sure you get more greens into your daily diet for achieving ultimate health. It can be very challenging to even try to eat a good amount of greens/veggies in a day even if you want too. I take this supplement and use it everyday whether I mix it up in my smoothies or just a simple glass of water. This product is one of the top ones you can find in the "Green" supplement category!

5. Pre Workout
In today's fitness world you'd be hard pressed to find someone who doesn't take pre-workout before a workout. C4 has become one of my favorite go to pre-workouts along with Muscle Pharms Both products give me great focus and energy in the gym! One of the best things about both of these products are you don't have to load up and large heaping scoops. Both pre-workouts only require a tiny little scoop to get you amped and ready to conquer your workout!
