Im currently in the middle of my cycle which consists of 400mg test and 50mg stana split into 2 shots per wk.
I just wanted to know if I stuck in some of these vitamins, will it give me a boost :
Vit C / Cod liver oil / Garlic capsules / Iron / Multi-vitamins
The idea behind this is that the multi vits give me all of my RDA so the rest will make sure I get more than I need, plus all of the food I eat and the creatine should do the buissness........right?
Is any1 gonna reply to this thread or what. Any help is much appreciated
Does your multi-vitamin contain minerals also? If so, you may be over doing it by supplementing with iron from a second source.
Vit C and Garlic are fine. Cod Liver Oil is great for Omega 3, vit a, and vit d. I personally prefer to use a blend of Omega 3 and 6 from different sources, but many people swear by the various fish oils.
With the possible exception of the iron, there is certainly nothing wrong with the supplements you mentioned.
i wouldnt take creatine on a cycle, i would wait until my pct for the creatine
actually you can take creatine throughout the whole cycle. But Do what you want.Quote:

I second the suggestion about backing off on the iron.

the seperate multi sitamins i take contain iron as standard and give me the RDA so dont think there is any halm in it as non of the others contain it.
Sorry, but I am not exactly sure what it is you are saying here. Maybe you could clarify a little? :unsure:Quote:

C supplement will actually increase your bodies absorption of iron. How many mgs of iron are you taking per day through your multi and the second iron sup?
sorry if i wasnt clear. This is what im taking once daily :
creatine capsules - 2000mg
Cod liver oil - 400mg
Vitamin C - 100mg
Garlic capsule - 2mg
mutlivitamin with iron tablet ( iron is 14.0mg within the same tablet )
Got it. Makes sense.
so does that sound ok to u ? And will it help my pct when i cum off the juice in couple of wks ? also should i didtch the creatine at the end of my cycle ?
Well, keep in mind this is just my opinion, but I lean more toward what eacman said and personally believe that creatine is more important post cycle than during cycle. If you insist on running it throughout your cycle, I suppose I would continue it during PCT. The jury is still out as to how much stress it places on the liver and kidneys, so if it were me, I would wait until PCT to add it. But that is just a personal opinion. If you are two weeks from PCT anyway, I would simply continue the creatine.Quote:

Thanks eddie, I think il stick with the creatine during PCT and may even up the dosage an extra 1000mg then come off it at the same time as my PCT to give my body a well earned break from this abuse it regularly sufers ( but hey, its all for a good cause )
Best of luck to you bro. :lift:
cheers
yes u can use creatine on your cycle but whats the point?
The point of using creatine is the make sure that my body is running at 100% at all times so as to maximise the effect the gear will have, it also helps to repair the muscles after the pounding they get at the gym.
