if you could only have 1 muscle repair supplement what would it be?

[famrulo]

besides protein powder, would you guys pick glutamine, creatine or bcaa drink? I just don't want to take them all at once. thnx

Good Sleep

[mtpaquette]

Only creatine. No need to purchase the other two if you have even a halfway decent diet.

Creatine is the obvious choice!

[TheFugitive]

BCAAs / Glutamine would be your best option for recovery

Creatine is best used pre-workout for increased muscle energy

[TheFugitive]

Creatine has a fairly short elimination half life, averaging just less than 3 hours, so to maintain an elevated plasma level it would be necessary to take small oral doses every 3–6 hours throughout the day

Time your supplements for success

this is a little known fact

i think people have become so intimidated to bring this up because of forum members (who felt they were experts on the subject) would tell them either there's no science in loading and it doesn't matter what time of day. thankfully a few of those members are gone and this forum should be back up and running.

charles poliquin was also a fan of creatine timing

Yawn

Maybe if you got some sleep you wouldn’t be yawning

Timing makes sense especially if you want the best bang for your buck

Like I said, it all comes down to timing

historically the number one trainer/coach on the planet was big on timing bcaa's during a workout....when i see someone with better credentials prove otherwise i wont use them again

Glutamine is useless.

Glutamine is useless.

Strong appearance out of nowhere!

[WinnetouKele6ev]

90% of suplements are useless or their effect is negligible, glutamine and bcaa too. Manufacturers pay a lot for advertising. Check examine dot com.

I would buy creatine mono. Protein/vitamins/omega ONLY if I can't take the right amount with food.

[TheFugitive]

Glutamine is useless.

So are your posts

[Team Punishment]

So are your posts

Yet your virgin ass is still on the bb.com supplement section after all these years lying to kids to sell them sh*t supplements. Log off this site for once and take your dick out of the wrapper and use it.

When Brian Rose asked Charles Poliquin in a London Real interview about glutamine he said he takes 10 grams a day and hadn’t had a cold (at time of interview) in about 23 years.

It’s very inexpensive and can’t hurt.

As mentioned earlier, when someone more qualified with better credentials than big Chuck comes along then I’ll go with their advice 😊

Intravenous glutamine

Oral glutamine has very low bioavailability

Define bioavailability

Sleep, enough protein and proper recovery time. No supps needed

b12 and d3 would be wise for everyone, b12 has been proven for age related brain shrinkage so the earlier you begin taking it the greater the benefit. d3 if you aren't aware is a hormone, chances are unless you are "supplementing" you are deficient. blood work can show you how much you should be taking. with age there is also a decline in d3, so again, wise to supplement earlier rather than later.

yes it's likely everyone posting here should be aware of the sleep, eat and recovery. it is after all a bodybuilding forum i doubt anyone posting thinks they can survive without food and sleep. stone age of bodybuilding of yesteryear taught us that, nowadays we have immediate access to science and performance supplementation
