Really no need for anything specific. The 2 SERMs will do. However, if Clomid makes you feel groggy or lethargic, you can take advantage of L-Tryptophan in the morning, and heavy up on your B12 doses.

Will you talk about the benefits of Vitamin B-6 especially it's effects on reducing prolactin?

The literature that I recall on B6 and prolactin was decades old, and I have not seen anything recent. We've developed considerably in the last 30 to 40 years since these studies and frankly, there are too many flaws in the ones I've seen. Vitaminn E and B6 have been touted, but I'm going with negligible differences, especially in the presense of progetsin.

As for general benefits from B6 well it plays a smart role in metabolism (as a nutrient partitioner) and aids in serotonin secretion. The dopamine agonist properties exist, but are weak at best. So if you're naturally hovering slightly above range, it may help in high doses. But if anyone think it can combat steroid -induced-prolactin-excess... not a chance.

Okay thank you Aus! I am currently using L Tryptophan and a bunch of others and am loving it!

I feel bad doing this, but would you mind visiting the thread I created yesterday (Complete Thyroid Panel)? I think I took too much time off from this site, and no one likes me anymore

, lol. I just want to know what you specifically recommend for a thyroid panel and cortisol test.

I know I am hijacking this thread, so I will edit it out immediately if you'd like. I apologize in advance.

**probuild42** · 11-11-2013, 10:36 AM

Thought I would post my vitamin stack for advice.

Fish oil 500 mg daily
vitamin E 200 mg daily
vitamin D 1000 iu daily
Vitamin C 500 mg morning and night
multi vitamin daily (Don't know if I get anything out of multi, I keep taking for the micro's and minerals. Is this a waste of space in pill container?) recommendations?
NAC 500mg daily

Arginine 1000 morning and pre workout
citrulline 1500 morning and pre workout

**austinite** · 11-11-2013, 08:05 PM

Hey pro,

Fish oil mg doesn't tell much. Need EPA/DHA. At 500 mg, I doubt it has much of anything.

All of your doses are weak. Double E, quadruple D, sextuple C and ditch the multi.

NAC looks good.

**probuild42** · 11-11-2013, 09:31 PM

The fish oil is:

625mg Highly refined fish oil
356mg EPA
144mg DHA

So take E and fish oil morning and night, 4xD split morning and night, and just keep the C in back pocket.

My goal is to supp with decent daily stack. Anything I am missing that may be essential?

Thanks for the help

**austinite** · 11-11-2013, 09:32 PM

I would just go through the initial post and see what best fits your daily needs based on the descriptions I provided. Be sure your E is mixed tocopherol.

**probuild42** · 11-11-2013, 09:35 PM

Got it. Thanks.

**devil-1986** · 11-16-2013, 03:27 PM

Just look at my protocol and you will see the splits. As for days off, treat them the same as any day.

Thanks

citrate is fine.

**Super-Chump** · 11-20-2013, 05:49 AM

Thanks!

**theRZA** · 11-21-2013, 11:55 AM

Austinite, please tell me this article is somehow flawed or wrong....

Supplementation with vitamin C and N-acetyl-cysteine increases oxidative stress in humans after an acute muscle injury induced by eccentric exercise.

Supplementation with vitamin C and N-ace... [Free Radic Biol Med. 2001] - PubMed - NCBI

after a read through I'm considering taking out the post-workout part of your vascularity stack.Drop some knowledge before my brain explodes. lol

**CrazyTeddy** · 11-21-2013, 12:13 PM

Great post! thanks!

I'll reply when I get home from work. Pretty sure I have the full study, but I have to dig it up.

**jomamma007** · 11-22-2013, 06:15 PM

Not sure if this has been asked but, 100mgs of dhea is a hefty dose. Any increase in estradiol?
Also is b12 in pill for worth it? What type would you recommend? Methyl??

**jomamma007** · 11-22-2013, 06:16 PM

No increase in e2. Pill b12 not worth it. methyl sublingual or injectable in best.

**theRZA** · 11-22-2013, 08:16 PM

Austinite, I'm still waiting to hear your response on that paper... I want knowledge to be dropped.

**austinite** · 11-22-2013, 08:18 PM

Maybe one day.

**theRZA** · 11-22-2013, 08:26 PM

Just tell me if it's wrong. lol I felt it made a pretty good claim, but I really want your opinion

**austinite** · 11-22-2013, 08:39 PM

I don't really feel like going through the study. Sorry. believe it or not, there are times when I need a break from all this. I'll respond when I feel like it.

**theRZA** · 11-22-2013, 08:45 PM

I wasn't trying to pressure you to dissect every minute detail...just wanted to know your 'verdict'

**austinite** · 11-22-2013, 08:45 PM

No..

**theRZA** · 11-22-2013, 08:47 PM

lol i respect you so much, but sometimes you frustrate me. respond whenever you get the chance...but I'm patiently awaiting it.

**austinite** · 11-22-2013, 08:52 PM

Not sure why you're frustrated, pretty sure I donate plenty of time to help out where I can. If I don't feel like reading a study, deal with it. I don't really need to hear about anyones frustrations with me... I'm not obligated to answer anything at all, ever.

**theRZA** · 11-22-2013, 08:56 PM

I just assumed when you said that you had the full study that you already read it. I also just thought you would tell me whether you think antioxidants are effective post workout despite what the study said. I don't think I was asking for much, but like I said...respond whenever you feel like it. I know you aren't paid to be on here and answer peoples questions.

**austinite** · 11-22-2013, 09:01 PM

Thought I had the study. I don't. I'll respond when I come across it and feel like answering.

Thanks.

Top 5 Amino Acids for energy?

**austinite** · 11-23-2013, 05:11 PM

None. Amino acids do not give any surge of energy. Try b12.

**armyranger516862006** · 11-24-2013, 07:47 AM

I will look into it. Thanks!

**devil-1986** · 11-25-2013, 01:38 AM

you said in this thread 600mg daily Year round and in another thread you said
POST WORKOUT:
L-Cysteine - 1 to 2 grams my question is finally which one of this dosage is good ? is 600 mg daily for post workout could enough or should only 1-2 grams after workout ?and in non training days which dose is better ?

im not in cycle
