Good Amino Stack?

I wanted to make sure that I am not doing overkill, or wasting money by taking anything that is not necessary. Goals, get a little bigger, gain strength and weight loss. Right now, 38 years old, 215 pounds.

AM Before Breakfast:
Arginine 3-5 G
Carnitine 1-1.5G
Was using Tryosine, but it made me feel shaky...did not like that.

30-60 Min before workout:
Arginine 3-5 G
Glutamine 5-10G
Carnitine 1-1.5G
Citrulline 2-3 G

Right before workout:
Creatine 2-5G
Taurine 1-4G

Right after workout:
BCAA 3-5G (three to six capsules which contain: Leucine 1200mg, Isoleucine 600mg and Valine 600mg)

Creatine 2-5G
Glutamine 5-10G
Taurine 1-3G

30-60 minutes before bed:
Arginine 3-5G
Glutamine 5-10G
Carnitine 1-1.5G
Theanine 1-4G


I do use Centrum daily along with 1 baby aspirin, fish oil caps, iron (slow fe: helps me with energy)
I drink coffee before workout as well.
Thank you very much for any and all advice!!!

curious bump

No one at all? I have read so much good advice here, I was hoping that someone could help.
Anyone???
Please???

No one?? Thats just weird. I did shower and I am wearing deodorant...:-)

I'm no expert on amino acids and such but no one else has come forward so I'll give you what I've got...

Seems like a lot of Arginine, 15g throughout the day, But I don't really know. Some would comment that if you are worried about wasting money Glutamine is a useless supp. I neither agree nor disagree...

maybe add beta-alanine in there pwo?

Woo Hoo!!! A response!!
Thank you very much!! I have been doing some reading, and it does seem like Glutamine is a non issue.

I have cut out the Theanine because even though it is supposed to help you relax and sleep, I felt restless at night. Also, I have cut out the Beta Alanine because it is hard to find.

Arginine is supposed to help with blood flow, which increases oxygen (among other things). I think I will cut out Citrulline because I think it just helps increase Arginine levels in the blood.
