Hi
With your query, you are too young to have too many supplements and can i know the reason for taking all these supplements 'coz you have mentioned that you eat well which means you are deficiet of any minerals or vitamins or any other. I would definitely suggest that taking supplements unnecessarily is not good if you are going for body building have more protein diet like eggs, greens. pulses etcc.. Even good healthy non vegeterain have got good amount ot of vit B and protein as well.Hope this helps you
