Dude if you want to be all you can be lol. BcaaS are like fuel for you muscles that gives them a head start at recovery you take during your workout to prevent cortisol I believe in general,and multi vitamin is like one of the most important if your not getting a well balanced diet with veggies and all let's of stuff to get the micros one does from a multi v. So whey, bcaa, multi v , and fish oil is what I used. Creatine was naturally in the protein I was taking!So none of that. And the glutamine I'm not sure how long you have to take that before you get any benefit from it.
