Supplement Explanation

I get a lot of questions about my supplements because I take so many. So I figure I can break it down here:

L-Glutamine:
I take 5 grams of this before I workout, after I workout, and before I go to bed. This is to help me maintain the muscles I have. You don't want to lose it while you are doing cardio or resting. I'm also supposed to take 5 grams before cardio. But I haven't worked it in yet.

Creatine:
Currently I'm taking monohydrate creating which is in powder form. But I'm going to be switching to a krealkaline capsule form, which is per my nutritionist's request. Supposedly it is better to prevent bloating and upset stomach. I'm taking 5grams of this before working out.

Clomex:
This is a testosterone booster. Helps gain muscle. I'm taking 3 tablets before I workout.

Yohimbe Fuel:
I take one capsule with breakfast. This is a fat burner.

Beta-X with methoxy:
Also a fat burner and muscle builder. I take 3 tablets with breakfast.

Multivitamin:
I take one with lunch. I don't take it with breakfast because I drink coffee. Coffee already is like a diuretic and I don't want to just pee out all the nutrients I just took. So I wait until lunch.

Calcium:
I take this at lunch. Right now I take 750mg but I need to be taking 1200mg. I have been resistant because I still seem to eat plenty dairy. But I'll work it in over time.

Joint Doctor:
This is basically glucosamine. I take 4 capsules of the joint doctor at lunch. It is to help with your overall joint health which is important for lifting as heavy as I do. You know how sometimes you feel like a slight pop while working a specific muscle group? Well I do occasionally in my hip and shoulder. So this helps with that.

Probiotic:
I take one tablet before bed. This helps flush toxins out of your system and move the digestive tract.

ZMA:
This is zinc and magnesium. Specifically zinc is great for building muscle. I take 2 tablets before I go to bed. This also helps me sleep really well for some reason.

The above is my core supplement regime. All in all, I take 16 pills a day. You get used to it is all I can really say. Thankfully none taste bad. I hate taking pills and I've had to get over that! The glutamine and creatine are powders that don't taste like anything. Just gritty in your water.

In addition, I usually get 1-2 scoops of whey or soy protein into my diet each day. Usually in a meal like a protein shake or with my oatmeal. Whey is the best protein supplement. Also if you take some right after working out it is good to help your muscles recover. I actually put it in my coffee in the morning on the way to the gym and then drink some more on my drive to work. Helps you easily reach your protein goal for the day.
