why you dont answer my question ?

[austinite]

why you dont answer my question ?

Because I'm busy. Sorry...

The 600mg dose was for overall health. The high doses post workout of L-Cysteine are to aid in recovery for your muscles.

You need to choose what you want to do from the list, you don't need to take everything.

then im take 1200 mg post work out. im looking for benefit of both recovery and overal health. is any need to take 600 mg in the morning or before work out and 600 or 1200 mg post work out for both muscle recovery and overal health? or just taking 1200 mg post work out do the same both recovery and overal health for me
could enough 1200 mg post work out for recovery and overal health ?

[austinite]

If you want overall health you need to split the dose. But high doses are needed for recovery.

Good luck.

Austinite, I'm very impressed with the vascularity stack. Before taking this I have never seen a vein in my arms or shoulders.. And now I have extremely noticeable vascularity. Check the picture..

my wallets fallen victim to the 10g before the gym 10g during the work out and 10g PWO. But despite teh mix reviews that BCAA are fraud and something for company's to up sell. I am seeing a difference, not only me, the people at my gym and my partner. I guess Charles was correct in his findings for proper delivery of BCAA to prime the body.

well no one here says they're fraud.

[smile]

Great Thread Austinite!! very educational!

What about leucine ? thats also an essential amino acid

[austinite]

No leucine for me. No need for it. If your diet is lacking, go for it. Or better yet , get it via BCAA's.

[smile]

ohhh ok I see, you've only listed the ones that you take yourself.

[austinite]

correct.

[devil-1986]

what is difference between l-Cysteine and Acetyl Cysteine ? which one is the better one ?

NAC is absorbed faster. Lots of comments in this thread. Makes for a good read when you have time.

BCAA's are definitely not a fraud. A lot of respected nutritionist and trainers swear by them. My friend loves the stuff too.

Who said anything about it being fraud? Your posts in this section are quite odd...

^^^^ So i said they are definitely not a fraud. They work

Wow - that is an incredibly informative list of supplements! Thank you for doing all the legwork and sharing your research and personal experience. I am a great proponent of good supplements, especially mega-dosing with Vitamin C. It can do wonders in cutting a cold short. I take 1000mg every half hour until saturation (which manifests in very loose stool). The sicker one is, the more it takes to reach saturation. You have certainly nudged me to add a few more supplements to my daily list. Thank you again!

Austinite, in your preworkout mix I see you use both Lysine and Arginine, but don't these two compete with each other and cancel the effects?

I've heard something similar in the past, but I can't find a correlation. If this were true, then that would be the same case for Arginine/Carnitine since Carnitine is in the identical pathway as Lysine. I'm looking at the Metablic Pathways now and they meet at Aspartate but clearly fork off without degradation. Maybe I need to dive further into this one...

I've googled this very briefly and read a few things about the competition between the two, but like you I have't investigated thoroughly...I guess I'm lazy! lol If you do find anything pass it on my way please and I'll do the same.

Hey aust, have you ever tried a stack to help out with collagen?

I have been looking into some and these seem to be the same aminos that keep popping up, lysine, proline, and vit c.

Just wondering if you have any experience with this combo?

Yeah aminos can help for sure. Copper however, dosed daily between 2 to 3 is a must in my opinion. Havent really looked into it too much, but look into some copper studies, it can be impressive. Also check zinc/copper combo's, great recipe for collagen.

Regarding Amino Acids. Wouldn't it be easier taking a protein powder with all of them in it? Thanks!!

[austinite]

Not really. Not sure I understand. I personally avoid protein powders at all costs. Nothing but garbage ingredients in well over 90% of them out there.

[jwh7699]

Most protein powders have all the BCAAs included in them. My thoughts were that it would be easier to drink a protein drink vs. taking all the individual pills.

I'm guessing that taking the pills leads to better direct absorption of the Amino Acids.


I would be interested in hearing your thoughts on protein powders in a separate post.


Thanks for the great information!! Best of Luck!!

Hello everyone! I am new to the community. First i have to give big thanks to Austinite's for all the help you provide in here. I have been reading (lurking) for awhile and have see a lot of the guys including you helping the noobs like myself.I actually found this thread a while back googleling for a pre-workout mix. I think i got this thread about page 19...anywho i have been doing the protocol below and have a few questions.

L-Citrulline Malate - 3 grams
L-Arginine (micronized) - 2 grams
L-Lysine - 2 grams
DHEA 25mg

The results have been nice but should i be cycling on and off any of these? I have a feeling that i should do it with the DHEA...

BTW I am over 35.

Thank you in advance

[austinite]

Welcome ermasta,

You do not need to cycle on and off with Amino Acids. DHEA is great if you need it. Mostly TRT patients use it, but it doesnt hurt if you're not. No need to cycle.

So based on this thread and my other research, I've gone and purchased some injectable methyl B12

I got 5000 mcg/ml in a 15 ml bottle off amazon

At 1000 mcg a week that's only .2 ml which means I'll have enough for a while. I only paid $40 which unbelievably cheap. How can I tell if t's real or not? The seller says it's pharmaceutical grade made in USP25 grade compounds facility. And they said they can send me the COA for verification. I ask for it just to see.

Last question- the research I've seen says that since it's water soluble that it gets pissed out in 24 to 72 hours. Wouldn't 2x or 3x a week be better?

[austinite]

You cant tell if it's real or not unless you mass spec it.. Too many people are now selling Hydroxy or Cyano as Methyl. $40? Try 180 bucks for a 10ml vial...

Frequency would be great, but for general health, there is no need. I inject twice weekly.

[fLgAtOr]

Great read. Thank you.

[Moparman]

Here's the CofA they sent me

[austinite]

Here's the CofA they sent me

Don't know what to tell you. Methyl is not cheap, and they misspelled Methylcobalamin...
