    A couple more questions if you don't mind,

    B-12.....I see you are taking B-12 (injectable) 1000mcg once/week off cycle? Is 5000mcg of the Jarrow methyl b-12 too much for daily use?

    Cialis.....I take a 2.5mg pill daily. The liquid cialis from a-r-r just arrived and I will take an additional 7.5mg/day from that. Any problem splitting this up into a 2.5mg am (or pm) and the other 7.5mg's at the other end of the day?

    NAC.....I see on your chart you only take NAC 3 times/week. Is daily (off cycle) just overkill?

    CoQ10.....Is 300mg/daily overkill?

    Thanks for looking!

    5000mcg is not too much. There is no toxicity with B12 and you excrete anything beyond your binding capacity. Lower your dose if you get too hungry.

    There is no need to split cialis dose. Half life is too long for that to matter. The only reason I personally split it is because I only want 5mg pre workout.

    Daily NAC is not overkill, I am back on a daily regimen now. 600mg daily year round.

    300 mg of coq10 is not too much. But at your age, you should be using UBQH instead. Read this thread.... http://forums.steroid.com/supplement...d-out-why.html

    Hi Austinite -
    Would you mind taking a look at my pre- and intra-workout drink? I usually down half before starting, and then sip the rest during training. My goals are still to lean out a bit more, and then to try to put on some more size.
    Any suggestions would be wonderful. Also, I just added the Citrulline and Arginine per your advice, and I didn't know if you'd adjust dosages for a 137# female?
    All are powders and easily adjustable.

    Leucine 5000mg
    Taurine 1400mg
    Glutamine 5000mg
    Amino acids - one scoop (not sure of the dose)
    Citrulline malate 3000mg
    Arginine 2300mg

    Thank you so much.

    Hey giggle,

    What is Amino Acids in the middle? Can you take a pic of the label? All of the above are amino acids.

    Everything else is good stuff. Although with Taurine, if the goal is fat loss, studies show that 3000 mg daily for 7 weeks are effective.

    Citrulline and Arginine doses look great. I prefer glutamine first thing in the morning, or anytime on an empty stomach. It's not as effective in the presence of other amino acids.

    I bought the powdered aa's a while ago and transferred them into a coffee can. Probably just BCAA's I think. They taste bad haha. doesn't that narrow it down?
    You think I don't need to reorder them if I have everything else in place?

    Thanks - I'll up the taurine, and switch the glutamine to the AM.
    I sure appreciate this!!

    lol, yeah most powders taste bad. If they are in fact BCAA's, then you can get rid of your Leucine dose.

    BCAA is leucine (dominant dose), Isoleucine and Valine. Which is great pre, mid and even post workout.

    Aust I see you are taking dhea, and I asked Gbrice in his recent thread about it. I read the link he provided me, and was thinking about putting this into my regimen. BBut with the link provided and some googling research, is this something that should just be taken for TRT patients or people that are on cycle....or could this be taken year round, or cycled on and off.

    I read an article today about it being an overly hyped sup and has some serious sides. But that was only one article I could find on negative things said about it.

    TRT is very common and certainly useful. Anyone can really benefit from DHEA but if you're young and healthy, there's no need for it. As far as overly hyped, isn't that the case with everything?

    DHEA and pregnenolone are both a staple in my protocol.

    So being 34 and "realitivly" healthy, should be no need for it?

    Probably OK without it till you get closer to 40. But it certainly wouldn't hurt, and even better, to have blood levels tested next time you get blood work.

    I take it on an empty stomach to it's not fighting food for absorption. Empty stomach meaning 1 hour before eating, or 2 hours after eating.

    They will absorb either way, but empty stomach gets you more out of your dose. If you feel any discomfort, then switch to taking it with food.

    Food meaning solids, liquids are fine and shouldn't interfere.

    Nothing noteworthy. Lives far too long in your system for daily intake to matter.

    Went to pick up some DHEA.


    They wanted 60$ for 60 tabs at 50mg each.
    I said holy shit I might as well just get back on the juice for that price.
    Is that normal for it to be so expensive?

    Not at all. That's a rip off. Be sure to get Micronized DHEA -- $9 for 90 capsules...

    Well this blows, they wont ship that DHEA to canada.... tried the MRM brand.

    Would it just be that brand, or is it all DHEA in general.

    How come you only does B6 once a week?
    Recommended dose according to my bottle is 100mg ED, just curious what your thoughts are about it.

    You should be getting a decent amount with food. B6 supports B12, so I take them together.
