Do you take supplements?

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Iv used the main one Creatine monohydrate for about 6 years though not consistently by any means probly taken it for the equivalent of 1.5 - 2 years and it seems to work and it's cheap keeps for years if dry and really convenient if you dont mind swallowing the powder and washing it down with water.
I heard of Beta-Alanine is meant to be good though i don't know anything about it.
I use to use protein powder but that didn't last very long it was inconvenient and since im not a competitive athlete just a normal person trying to stay in shape, look good and keep my body capable it didn't seem to make enough difference to be worth the time and cost.

I do. I take creatine monohydrate and whey protein powder. And a casein protein powder before bed. Beta-Alanine is a creatine alternative, right? I don't think you're supposed to take them together, but I might be wrong.

If you're only trying to maintain your appearance, then you probably don't need protein powder. But if you're trying to build muscle, it is invaluable. I've put on 12 pounds in 6 weeks. I don't think I could have done it without protein powder.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

i think Beta-Alanine is different but i'm not sure i really dont know that much about it just heard it was meant to be one of the top supplements

[Rawrzz]

Oh, no. Apparently they work very well together with creatine and BCAAs.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

I might try mixing them then

I've been working out for the last 7 years and never took what ever these are. There is always food, there nothing out there that gives you more than healthy food does. Choose right food and you will get better results

[sedrftvgyhujik]

Its not a case of ether or and a perfect diet involves a lot of cooking its healthy just not very convenient.
Its also very very hard to get the optimal levels of creatine just from eating meat and thats probly the case with some other supplements as well.

[John_Lion_84]

Am not in hurry, no one is. Food gives you better and more balanced benefits. If it works for you, sure why not.

I use creatine, whey, BCAAs and a multivitamin (the first three on days I work out the the final everyday). Creatine and whey I find are best for building and feuling muscle. BCAAs have been hugely helpful in my training! They allow me to train longer, harder and push through final reps/minutes much more efficiently. They are what have made the largest difference in my training (they've also allowed me to eliminate the use of a preworkout)!

[sedrftvgyhujik]

My brother got a bag of BCAA powder to try tropical flavor so i might try it and maybe start mixing it with creatine.

[Puppylove94]

i take a b-12 vitamin and calcium because i hate milk. But other than that, not really. Every once in awhile ill have a smoothie with protein powder.

[sedrftvgyhujik]

I also don't like milk my aunt whos lactose intolerant told me you can get partial lactose intolerance so when it's as concentrated as it is in milk its unpleasant iv tried making my self drink it to see if i could get use to it and i didn't have a reaction or anything but also felt slightly unsettled yet I like cheese and that doesn't seem to have any effect also products with milk in so maybe its down to the concentration or how it's released?
Iv been told a great aunt of mine was the same as well and like me would never have milk with cereal only water.

[BeerFarts]

I only take a multi-vitamin tablet (One A Day). I haven't used whey protein, creatine, or other supplements in years. All of my protein sources are from chicken, lean red meat, fish, and other types of seafood.

[maiez]

Yes I take creatine and protein supplements (whey and casein) as well as a multivitamin. Oh, also I am starting out with Nitric Oxide!

[sedrftvgyhujik]

never heard of Nitric Oxide supplements?

[maiez]

Nitric Oxide acts as a vasodilator and helps deliver nutrients the the muscles
