    -Why are you taking carnitine?

    -Tribulus is useless, will not boost test level at all.

    -At this moment I wouldn't suggest AAKG usage since solid data doesn't exist to suggest that it's a beneficial supplement.


    Take multi, bcaa, creatine, protein post workout.

    Multi vitamin can also be taken post workout, your body is in a hypersensitive state and certain vitamins help the protein to absorb and vise versa.

    Another think about AAKG is that I find a few studies to suggest that it will enhance maximal power output. Try it to see if it provides any benefit, needs to be taken preworkout, try dosages from 1.5g to 10g.

    Carnitine (brain food)is a good antioxidant and "supposedly" supposed to raise ur sperm count and make u more fertile. Not that i have a problem with that but i never want one either..

    I had done a blood test to see if the tribulus works about 2 yrs ago and it did in my opinion...did a blood test pre tribulus then again after 30 days of taking it and the doc said it had raised levels very slightly...Not anything significant but it did raise...So i keep it part of my regiment...

    Thanx for all the info guys especially the fish oil, didnt know taking it at night was a better option...

    I also read it helps boost ur immune system(helps prevent sickness or if hurt speeds up recovery), levels of insulin , growth hormone , and free amino acids (glutamine, proline and Arginine)...But like u said not enough testing to prove concrete evidence but im sure it does work besides everyone is different and some will benefit where others wont...
