did ali, ssr and srl ever take supplements

[Dr Rumack]

I'm sure they all tried out a few things here and there back then. Highly organised and systematic doping didn't exist to the same degree though. Specially tailored substances for athletes were rare if they existed at all. The same results wouldn't have been guaranteed that are guaranteed nowadays, so there probably would have been less incentive to dabble in that stuff than there is now.

vitamins?

Vit. B12 and E was used a lot years ago. I used to give my fighters a B12 shot 48 hours in front of the bell and I used it when I fought years before that.
Other than that diets were strictly kept intact and hydrating was controlled as scale time got closer. Everyone is different and what may work for one doesn't work well for another. Most fighters who are full time fighters know their bodies very very well.

if you consider performance enhancers "vitamins" then yea...............

[hectari]

anybody know did any of these great fighters took vitamins of any kind to get an edge or was it old school

eat right train hard, rest repeat

They were probably on drugs, like Meth or some type of drug like *******.

I know Ali was given some type of enhancement injections in his later career, some doctor injected him before the Holmes fight to get his energy levels up.

It was in a documentary on espn 30 30 or something they talked about the doctor giving Ali some injections because his energy was so low, but never said it was steroids.

Ken Norton was rumored to be on the juice he was good friends with Lyle Alzado.

Back in the golden age they had NO drug testing and many fighters were using something because it wasn't illegal.

The golden age was very corrupt they had smelling salts used blinding against on gloves, used drugs, fixed fights etc. It was like the wild wild west.
