My supplement recommendations for improved performance, see here: [https://forum.barbellmedicine.com/fo…al?view=thread](https://forum.barbellmedicine.com/forums/nutrition-q-a-with-dr-jordan-feigenbaum/5852-nutrition-faq-sticky-potential?view=thread)

I wouldn’t take HMB, fish oil, NAC, cocoa, brazil nuts, fruit juice, or curcumin for health or performance benefits based on the current evidence.

I would not supplement vitamin D3 without a documented deficiency or insufficiency.

We removed HMB from Peri-Rx about 2 years ago.

I don’t know who the “Dev Team” are, but data does not support taking either fish oil or curcumin. There appears to be some risk of harm with fish oil, in fact.

Dev Team = Seal Team 6  
I wouldn’t know you removed HMB as the linked photos to still had it included. Hence my confusion.

I’d be happy to tell Seal Team 6 that they’re taking nonsensical supplements and provide overwhelming data to show that, but they’d have to pay me for my time.

Ah, I see the the user-generated FAQ has the old GainzZz Rx label, which has been replaced by PeriRx (see our store) and does not have HMB.
