redditI have been using gold standard whey since 2010 I remember the days it was around £25-30 for a 2kg tub.
Now every time I go to buy it’s gone up again.
Any one recommend a replacement which tastes great
UPDATE I have swapped to my protein impact whey £45 for 60 servings.

Trying to stay clean and simple on supplements. Only do the protein bars when absolutely needed and always do the whey protein after a workout.

I’m a 45-year-old guy going through what can only be described as a midlife health crisis. About three years ago I decided I was tired of being overweight, unhealthy, and feeling older than I actually was. Since then I’ve lost quite a bit of weight, started working out, cleaned up my diet, and became obsessed with optimizing everything.
The problem is that somewhere along the way I may have crossed the line from “health conscious” to “human science experiment.”
Every time I read a study, listen to a podcast, or browse Reddit, I seem to find another supplement that sounds like a great idea. Now I have a morning stack, an afternoon stack, powders, capsules, gummies, fish oils, antioxidants, amino acids, vitamins, minerals, fiber supplements, and enough containers in my pantry to stock a small GNC.
For context, I take the following almost daily (except zinc and vitamin E which I only take twice a week):
**Active Oral Stack**
Kirkland Signature Adult Multivitamin
Orgain Creatine Monohydrate
Nutricost Glycine Powder
Country Farms Fiber Care Gummies
Kirkland Signature Whey Protein
Sports Research Onega-3-fish oil
Alive By Nature NMN
Nutricost NAC Powder
Nutricost Vitamin K2 + Vitamin D3
Nature Made Vitamin C
Nutricost Taurine
Nutricost TUDCA
Nature’s Way Saw Palmetto Berries
Gaia Herbs Ashwagandha Root
Nutricost Phosphatidylserine
Pure Encapsulations Magnesium Citrate
Nutricost Citrus Bergamot
Jarrow Formulas Astaxanthin
Thorne Thyroid Health Complex
Vital Proteins Collagen Peptides
Kirkland Psyllium Capsules
Nutricost Hyaluronic Acid
Solgar Vitamin E
CoQ10
Milk Thistle
The crazy thing is… I have to admit I’m healthier today than I’ve been since my 20s. My bloodwork is generally excellent, I’ve lost over 100 pounds, my energy is good, and I feel better than I have in years.
So now I’m wondering:
At what point does a supplement stack become ridiculous?
Am I actually helping myself, or have I just developed a very expensive hobby that makes me feel productive?
Anyone else start with a multivitamin and end up accidentally becoming a part-time pharmacist?

redditI spent way too much time and money listening to feedback from the community about my stack. I know once I figure it out, the benefits are going to be great and I’ve already experienced a ton of them, but I just want to find the right balance. After so much advice and money spent, I think I FINALLY dialed down everything I need without going overboard. Please let me know what you think
1. Pure Encapsulations O.N.E. Multivitamin
2. Omega-3, 2070mg EPA & 780mg DHA
3. Vitamin D3 5000 IU + Vitamin K2 100mcg
4. Boron Triple Complex 3mg
5. NAC 1200mg
6. Glycine 3000mg
7. \[BEFORE BED\] Magnesium L-Threonate 1333mg (96mg)
I also take Whey Protein Isolate 60g & Creatine 5g after the gym
Lalify82026-05-1269 helpfulView → **Hello everyone,**
This is my first time buying supplements, and I feel like I probably should’ve waited and done more research/testing first. Honestly, I didn’t look into supplements that much — I just watched a couple of YouTube videos, and now I’m seeing a lot of posts talking about toxicity.
My questions are: is there any issue with taking these supplements together, and do any of them have toxicity risks? Also, for dosage, should I just follow the instructions on the bottles?

redditI’m getting tired of taking so many things, looking for help to slim down my stack. I eat a clean diet with little to no sugar, and workout several days per week.
