My supplement list? should I change any of it?

[dylan111557]

Just wondering what you guys think of my supplement/how I take them:

Creatine: 5g post workout 5g pre workout, 5g on rest days
Multivitamins: 2
Glucosamine: 3
Fish oil : 3
BCAA's occasionally: 6
Super Pump Max: preworkout on upper day, don't use it on lower.
Whey protein: 1 scoop after workout/ 1 scoop in morning of rest day
Casein protein : 1 scoop before bed

Anything I should add? I doubt I'll continue with the BCAA's.. Don't really believe in them

Also what's your thoughts on CLA?

[keep fightin]

I would add Vit D to your list, your multi has some but you will find that most are deficient. good research out there on D, not just manufacturers yelling for your dollar

Bcaas are one of the only supps that have science backed by it!
And you don't need pre workout, all u need is to eat properly, pre workout will u make u reliant on it, and when u don't take it, u will 'feel' week and unmotivated.

cla is nothing but a trans fat.
Unless your obese it increases insulin resistance and trashes your lipds (cholesterol).
IMO its one of the worse supps out there.

It's more the fact that I have hard time believing 4g Leucine, 1g valine and 1g isoleucine will change anything? Should I take more? They seem very controversial and sort of a waste of money? And the pre-workout really is for the extra boost on upper days, I usually finish school around 1 and workout around 2-2:30 so don't have time to make meal, on days where my upper is on the weekend I usually make a meal. And I'm strongly considering not using it after I'm done with it, they are way to expensive.. Especially on a student salary.

I agree with this. While EAA Do work - its proven they have an effect on akt/mtor - when money is tight they are not by any means a necessary staple. Layne Norton - who has been involved in studies on EAA and is even sponsored by Svivation (Xtend ) and is a proponent of EAA supplementation ( and one smart, well educated bodybuilder btw) has posted this very thing.

That's what I was thinking. Also I take around 15g of Glutamine a day, forgot to put that!

[Turkish Juicer]

No need to take Creatine pre and post workout.

5-10gr (depending on body weight, muscle mass in particular) post workout will do the job.

Also, 15gr of Glutamine intake is somewhat ironic for someone who does not believe in BCAA and is on a budget. There is no definitive research showing that Glutamine is actually an anti-catabolic agent with claimed qualities of sparing lean muscle tissue.

[jimmyinkedup]

^^ agreed on the glutamine...id drop it.

[bigiron87]

Glutamine is the most abundent amino present at any time in the muscles and its stores are quickly depleted post workout- why not Glutamine? Many other positive things about it also such as strong immune system booster blahblah...

only take 5mg creatine / day
if the multivitamin is quality, only need to take 1/day
gluco - i prefer MSM... much less expensive, better beneffit to the joints (at least for me)
BCAA's are good to take. 3 grams pre and 3 grams post workout
not sure about the super pump gobblety goop
whey protein - i prefer isloate (filters out all the farts)
CLA is expensive and minimal results, if any.

This is also what the supplement industry says, yet none of us has come across with a definitive proof provided by a scientific research conducted on humans that this is certainly the case.

As for Glutamine having properties of longevity, this is something that we all agree upon.

As for Glutamine supplementation sparing lean muscle tissue by acting as an anti-catabolic agent, our doubts remain since its track of delivery through the stomach acids to the muscle fibers remains uncertain.

Drop the pwo creatine.

Multivitamins: 2
Glucosamine: 3
Fish oil : 3

Bump the fish oil

BCAA's occasionally: 6
Super Pump Max: preworkout on upper day, don't use it on lower.

Ditch the pre-workout junk.

Whey protein: 1 scoop after workout/ 1 scoop in morning of rest day
Casein protein : 1 scoop before bed

Add a proteolytic enzyme like bromelain.

Anything I should add? I doubt I'll continue with the BCAA's.. Don't really believe in them

Don't waste the cash on the CLA.
