Hi, it's been a month i'm taking my protein. Today i received my BCAA (SciVation Xtend) and Cellucor C4 Extreme (Creatine) but i'm kind of new taking these stuff. I would like to get bigger. normally i take a shake of protein in the morning and after my workout, but can i mix my protein with BCAA and creatine without having a bad effect? when should i take my BCAA(and how much a day) and creatine (and how much a day)?
Thank you for your help!

For the extend I do half a scoop in between meals (I do 4 or 5 larger meals a day) and a full scoop which I sip during workout and drink the rest post (mostly all post), that's how you should take it. I do creatine mono daily post workout. Whey I just use to hit my protein numbers and for convinience. I'd worry about diet first before any supplements though.

Oh come on don't be so condescending like it's such a bad thing and my diet is so bad and deficient. It's not that bad if you break it down....
multivitamin- 2 pills
multimineral- 3 pills
vitamin D- 5 pills
garlic- 8 pills
NAC- 2 pills
Green Foods Pills- 12 Pills
Fish oil- 6 pills
So I'm taking roughly 38 pills a day unless I drink the green drink which brings it down. The green pills, NAC, Vitamin D, Fish Oil, and Garlic which are 33 out of the 38 pills have been an addition over the last 2 years in response to some bloodwork with elevated liver values, higher cholesterol and bp and low vitamin D. The results have been nothing shy of astonishing. I need 8-10,000 iu's of Vitamin D a day to stay in an optimal range.
I get my bloodwork done every 3 months and every supplement, in every dose was added in very pragmatic way, one by one, without changing other variables to test the results.
I get the the tone of your post but not all of us are just radomly grabbing vitamins and praying they do something. Everything has a very distinct purpose. I don't think I get get my liver values, blood pressure, or cholesterol high if I wanted to at this point.
this is what I ate yesterday at 11 weeks out from a contest I don't think it is too deficient

I don't mean to offend you.
Wow. That is more than many elderly people with medical conditions.
I have to agree that I am also astonished. Your diet does not seem like it would warrant such massive amounts of pills. While I would personally choose more variety in veggies, I assume that you listed an example and I bet you eat more than just kale, mushrooms and broccoli as veggies, but even if you didn't, it's not like your diet is glaringly void of typical micronutrients. Is your doctor suggesting you take all of those pills? Do you have some medical condition?
