Food timing is irrelevant. Just take the stack, not sure what you're asking about taking other stuff.

I was wondering what your thoughts were on a post workout carb such as dextrose?

[austinite]

I was wondering what your thoughts were on a post workout carb such as dextrose?

You know, the guys in the diet section might be better suited for this question, but I personally try to avoid any carbs from dextrose, fructose and maltodextrin.

As for meal timing, I never time my meals because I do not believe in any "Windows of opportunity". As long as you have a daily macronutrient goal, you just need to meet it one way or another. So sometimes I'm super hungry post workout and eat immediately, and sometimes it takes a couple hours before I eat anything.

Sweet. Yes, daily! - Takes a long time to dissolve, so be patient. It's better than chewing it.

Getting here a little late but that was a serious read and very informative.

Cheers Austinite...

If i choose b12 sublinguals is it 5000mcg twice a week?

5000mcg daily! You can go twice a week, but that might just keep you in the lower ranges. Take it daily for optimum levels.

[sawyer86]

Or right. Ill do daily. Just been looking on amazon at everything thats all.also, the things you said need taking with fats, do egg yolks count?

yeah def. Anything with fat. Some drugs are fat soluble so they'll absorb through fats better. some are water soluble and better taken on an empty stomach. Empty stomach is 1 hour before eating or 2 hours after eating with plenty of water. Just look at the labels, most will tell you the solubility.

[sawyer86]

Thanks man.

Your blood group matters when you take vitamin C:

There are different types of Vitamin C and depending on your blood type, you would benefit far more if you take the right type. Below is the blood type and vitamin type pairing:

- Blood group 'O': use Calcium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'A1': use Sodium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'A2': use Calcium & Sodium Ascorbate
- Blood group 'B': use Calcium Ascorbate & Bioflavonoids
- Blood group 'AB': use Ascorbic Acid

That is very interesting that blood type influences vitamin C absorption. One more reason I should find mine out, lol.

Hey austinite, great thread. Question - early on you mentioned you don't do protein powders anymore. Can I ask why?

[austinite]

Hey austinite, great thread. Question - early on you mentioned you don't do protein powders anymore. Can I ask why?

Because I prefer real food. No meal replacements for me. most powders are garbage anyway and contain dextrose/maltodextrin. Also, the majority of people eat way way too much protein. It's very easy to get what you actually need without over doing it with food.

Aust how you take your citrulline, arginine and methionine in off day ?

Dwhat do i do about taking the vascularity stack on non training days as its all pre and post workout?

[Doom44]

Same as on days

Whats the dosage?

Dwhat do i do about taking the vascularity stack on non training days as its all pre and post workout?

Whats the dosage?

Doses are listed in my protocol.

On or Off days, you take the same dose at the same time. Everyday. Preworkout on workout days is beneficial so that you get the pump at the gym AND you keep the vessels dilated and delivering higher levels of nutrients to the muscle.

Same for days off, except you're not getting the pump. Consistency is key.

If you take your preworkout at 5pm on workout days, then take it at 5pm on non-workout days.

Capishe?

^^^ After searching for articles on this, I found that vitamin C type may affect different metabolic rates too, particularly pH level. Have you read this austinite?

Are you taking the RIGHT Vitamin C for your type? : REAL Metabolic Typing Blog

It is not from a scientific journal, so I will try and locate better articles. Based on the author's description, she seems like a credible source though.

Yeah that makes sense. I'm not sure though why they singled out vitamin C, this rules applies to everything.

Yeah, I agree. I think it was the easiest example to demonstrate the effects on pH.

Yes, forgot to tell you. My doc recommended it and so did MuscleInk. I'm trying to see if this will help lower my cholesterol levels so that I can get off the super expensive prescription; Crestor. Supposedly this is just as effective in the right doses.

I've been trying this as well. Will do bloodwork soon. I quit my Simvastatin because it ended up putting me on TRT. Since I quit last February, my natural t went up over 550, so now I'm off TRT.

Sorry about all me questions austinite, just good to be getting all this advice. Does the pre workout stack have to be taking on an empty stomach or not? And how long should i wait to train after taking it? Also on non training days as i do a physical job would it be good to take pre workout before work and post after work?
