help me drop a suppliment, i take to many?

[JuliasDad]

this is what i currently take and im sick of all the money i spend and im tired of swallowing so many pills so i need to cut somthing out.....

Protien powder+bars
Multi
VitC
Zinc(before bed)
Calcium
Glutamine
LArginine
BCAA's

im thinking about stopping the BCAA's and continueing with the rest, i take the Glutamine and lARginine before i train and more LArginine after i train. the multi, VitC and Calcium i just take during the Morning at some point and the Zinc before bed.

what u guys think, ill be ok dropping the BCAA' and just continue with the Glutamine and ARginine??

[Papi93]

Of all of them glutamine would be the first one I would drop.

[JuliasDad]

also, i see alot of people in here taking LARginine and Glutamine before bed?? what r the benefits of this and should i do another dose before bed as well as what ive been doing, thanks for any advice.

stats-200lbs, 25yrs old, 5'10, pretty solid, just trying to lose some lower belly fat so im doing the 2 weeks on 1 week off ECA stack also right now for a month or 2.

I'd drop the calcium as i'm sure you get plenty in your Multivitamin and protein bars.

[Papi93]

I, personally, have never experienced any results with glutamine. Save your money, next time, and drop the glutamine. Oral administration is not effective. Run a search for glutamine and look for Giantz posts on its ineffectiveness.

I like to keep the calcium in for strong bones.

protein bars...most are poo imo

[JuliasDad]

well the calcium is cheap, protien bars are good for a quick snack before th gym or on the go, i dont get the expesive name brand ones, just some from walmart that have like 15 grams of protien and are like a dollar each, they taste GREAT also! so i should have said this

out of the BCAA's, Glutamine, and LArgine which one should i drop.??

and again, what r the benefits of arginine and GLut before bed??

[TADOLFI]

My 2 cents...
I've read one of Giants11 posts on the Glutamine and I agree with the drop.
Next would be BCAA.

That should save you some bucks.

[FLEX83]

I would look at the BCAA's in your portein drink as well as the bars... you could probably afford to drop the BCAA's. Also, i agree with wolffey, most protein bars are S*** in a wrapper and not worth the money. If you're on the run, grab a can of tuna imo...

Drop the following

L - arginine
Zinc
Calcium

[mwolffey]

Drop the following

L - arginine
Zinc
Calcium

l arginine is not a supp to drop...it has too many benifits, ie: vasodialition, increase in growth hormone , recovery...way too many benifits

[novastepp]

i would drop the protein bars, zinc before bed, and the glutamine.
BCAA's are a big check before and after a workout, seeing as they will start protein synthesis ALONE. protein powder is a must, multi, and calcium are a no brainer, and arginine has been described already.

Drop the glutamine out of the three. If you were to drop a second, go with BCAA's. I would keep the L-A.

Keep the L-a.

[BajanBastard]

The glutamine will keep his small intestines healthy, keep it in. IMO you don't need to drop anything in fact i would add an EFA supp as well.

Sorry if you don't aggree bro, for me I never saw any Real results and it was expensive..........just my .02

[brutesinme]

yeah, i'd drop the L-a too, there is no evidence that the minor increase in gh causes any signifigant body comp. changes. Kick the protein bars to the curb (they're like snickers with low quality protein added) calcium isn't that important to lifters as the strain we place on our bodies strengthens our bones. I'd keep the BCAA, Protein powder, multi, vit c and zinc.
