Is it safe to use creatine , glutamine & BCAA at same time

[ankiminhas]

Hi ,
This is Ankush , 23 Y.o .

My question is , it is safe to intake of these 3 supplements in a single day ? If yes then , Is there anyone who can make a table for me explaining what supplement use at what time ? ex. pre-wo , post-wo or early morning or whatever

[emergency]

no problem using all three in one day. have you checked out ERGOBCAA and ERGOCRE

[mtpaquette]

Yes, but there is no real need for supplemental glutamine. You could drop that; and then just stick to the combination of the other two when fasted.

You do realize that creatine, glutamine, and bcaas all occur in food. If it wasn't save to eat them all in one day, then it would be unsafe to eat beef or salmon.

Yeah but with the creatine you should go to the doc and see how your kidneys are functioning first because I was taking 5 grams a day and one of my kidneys was underdeveloped at birth. Now its like completely funtionless

What's your current protein intake? If it's adequate, you don't need BCAAs. And glutamine is pretty much useless unless you're using it for GI issues. Personally, I'd just take the creatine and drop the other 2.

Listen to the people before me. Glutamine is useless (for the case you're asking).

"Supplemental glutamine does not appear capable of increasing lean mass when paired with a weightlifting routine."
"The addition of glutamine supplementation to an exercise regiment has failed to outperform placebo in reducing fat mass."
"No significant alterations in testosterone noted"

You can find all 3 in food so yes it's safe to take all 3 in the same day. But I would reccomend to just supp with additional Creatine and drop the other 2 and focus on hitting protein intake instead

It's all about the timing

[kardoxo]

Totally safe combining these three supplements.

[Heizz]

As others have mentioned, it is fine to take all these supplements at the same time.

Timing of each is whenever is most convenient for you. Just take as noted on the bottles.

Thank you everyone for your response !

This is a situation where you are already aware of a medical condition. If his body is functioning normal then there is no need to discuss with a doctor. Most will discourage supps, due to lack of knowledge.

Thank you Lowdy. Always amazes me how someone will say that a Doctor should be seen because you could potentially have an issue with something like creatine, because I have this issue myself. With a normal functioning body most supplements should be fine. It would be like me telling people to avoid caffeine because I have HBP. Also any doctor unless they study this stuff or lift will not every recommend supps. They neither study them or have the knowledge. Seriously, my brother is a doctor and asks my opinion.

I get what you are saying and then again I understand the user's POV ---> peeps want to believe they are invincible or refuse to accept their limitations. Sucks to have kidney (and/or liver) issues like Casey's
