    Crit my Supps please.

    Hey every one. I have been taking the below supps for about 6 weeks now. I google'd the other day the L-Arginine and L-Glutamine that I am taking to see if I should be taking more and I seen a lot of people on different forums saying that it's junk and not worth it. Is this true? I was going to stop taking them, but then read a Muscle mag a few minutes ago that talked about Muscle growth while asleep and what supps are best to take before bed. Needless to say now I am confused.

    Below are the supps I currently take along with how much I take and what the Mag suggests you take.

    Stats:
    27 yrs old
    6' 1" 200lbs
    body fat currently unknown

    NOW sports Products:
    L- Arginine, 500mg's. I take 2 before bed.
    L- Glutamine, 1500mg's. I take 2 before bed.
    ADAM Multivitamin. I take 2 when I wake up

    BSN:
    Cell Mass Creatine . 1 scoop immediately after workout. I workout from 6pm - 8pm 4-5 days a week.

    ***The Mag suggest to take between 5-10 Grams of L-Arginie and L-Glutamine before bed. I currently take 2 pills of each before bed which equals 3Grams of L-Glutamine and 1 Gram of L-Argintine.

    Please let me know if I should stop taking them or continue on taking them. If you all suggest contining on taking them should I increase my dose like the mag said to with 5-10 Grams before bed? If so that's a lot of pills

    Thanks

    I think glutamine is a great supp, I take it pre and post workout, you could do the same as well as before bed, I wouldn't take 10 grams at once.

    I also use arginine I take about 4 grams a day, same schedule as glutamine.

    Have you been taking it for awhile? Does it make you feel better?

    Since you take it pre and post workout do you take the powder ? I take the pills (obviously) so I am not sure how fast it would digest if I did it pre and post workout.

    Thanks. Love your Avi

    I mix the powder in with my pre and post shakes. You could always break open the caps and do the same.

    I think that the glutamine helps in recovery, the arginine I do feel better pumps in the gym, but there are better arginine products out there.

    I also take BCAA's and fish oil, get a good p[rotein and eat right you will make some progress. Diet is very important.


    The avi is my girl, she's alot of fun!
