First supplements ever: 2026 (was on zero before)

I'm not a doctor or a dietitian. I'm a 35-year-old desk worker who took zero supplements his whole life, then started boxing and got humbled. Now I'm trying things one at a time, on myself, and writing down what actually happens. This is my log, not advice.

Day 2 — swapped vitamin C for a multivitamin, kept the creatine

Ate like a normal person, took two pills, and I'm curious how tomorrow morning feels.

MY STACK · NOW
  • Creatine monohydrate
    5 g · daily
  • Multivitamin (NOW Daily Vits)new
    1 cap · with a meal

What I ate today. Honestly, a pretty normal day for me — nothing clean-eating, nothing crazy.

- Morning: 4 boiled eggs and one chicken breast. - Lunch: plain rice with beef and grilled vegetables. - Dinner: regular pasta.

No skipped meals today, which is unusual — I normally don't eat breakfast at all.

What I took. Two things today:

- Creatine monohydrate — Nutricost, unflavored, 5 g. Same as yesterday. - Multivitamin — NOW Foods *Daily Vits*, one capsule with a meal. This one's new; I swapped in the multi instead of running standalone vitamin C, because if I'm only going to take one "coverage" pill a day it might as well cover more than one nutrient.

Both bought from iHerb. No sponsorship, no code, just what was in stock.

How it feels — basically nothing, and I'll say so (again). Day 2 of any of this. I'd be lying if I said I felt different. No new energy, no obvious fog-lift, no stomach issues either — which honestly is the main thing I was checking for with the multi on a full stomach.

What I actually want to know. The real question for me is **tomorrow morning**. Boxing nights usually leave me waking up with that deep, slow soreness and a fatigue that hangs around till lunch. If anything is going to be noticeable early, it'll show up there — not in how I feel right after swallowing a pill.

So tomorrow's entry is the one I care about. Today is just: ate normally, took the two, no drama.

Holding the variables. Sticking with **creatine + multivitamin** for at least the next several days before I add or change anything. One change at a time is the whole point — otherwise I'll never know which pill (if any) is doing what.
