It doesn't do a hell of a lot for me.. Tastes great though. I'm used to old school craze, what's on the market now is fairly crappy

What supplements do you guys use? I'm new to training and am having creatine before workout, BCAA's throughout the day, and protein shakes with glutamine.

Staying away from pre-workouts cause have heard bad things. Am just looking to gain size so no need for fat burners or anything.

 

[OneEyedHawk]

Can anyone tell me if acetyl carnitine is in any way decent, or is it completely useless?

Cheers.

Creatine, AAKG, Beta Alanine and Caffeine are scientifically proven to improve performance. You can actually buy all 3 ingredients fairly cheaply online (through bulknutrients and chemistwarehouse for no doz) but I find the branded supplements work just a little bit better.

Creatine can be taken at any time doesn't need to be pre workout, pre workouts are great for improving your training. The dangers are people going to far, the best supplements for pre workout are beta alanine and AAKG which can both be bought from bulk nutrients very cheaply.

Magnesium no good?

that was my initial thought. must be wrong.

Might depend on the person as well.

Probiotics is a controversial area - much literature suggests they are very efficient if tailored for the recipient, but can do nothing for others if they are taking generic off the shelf products (depending on existing diet).

Combining products that are banned with products that don't work is stupid. Products get banned because they work...

It's obviously aimed at people who want to stay 'legal' though.

Otherwise there's a s**t-ton of dodgy things you could add to the performance enhancing side.

Also I was under the impression that L-Arginine or AAKG did have some scientific data to support it's use.

There appears to be a few studies that linked AAKG with improved performance on the exrx page

Selling overpriced brand-name supplements that you can buy cheaper on the net isn't a fool-proof business model?

Shocked to be sitting here

 

[Cotchin 9]

Anyone tried egg white powder as an alternative to whey?

 

[Cotchin 9]

Sounds okay to me Bazzar

You often see egg white protein in keto and LC recipes

Isn't hemp illegal to eat in Australia?

 

[Nickos66]

It's illegal to sell as a product for consumption, manufacturers are forced to place a sticker on each product stressing that it should not be consumed.. Archaic laws.

Hemp protein is legal in Australia.

Just found a tub of oxyeite pro (super thermo) powder in the cupboard. I remember a while back hearing some drama re. FDA recall etc., but from memory this was relating to just one of their 3 different formulas. The one I've got contains yohimbe and aegeline...just wondering if you guys reckon it'd be safe to take? If the version I have was the one in question, & even if so, was the whole issue a bit overblown?
Any feedback would be much appreciated, cheers.

Doctors say they are now almost certain that aegeline, a substance naturally found in bael trees, was the harmful ingredient in the weight-loss supplement OxyElite Pro that led to more than 50 cases of liver damage last year, including 2 transplants and one death.

The majority of the liver damage cases occurred in Hawaii, and leaders at the Queen's Medical Center's Liver Center in Honolulu now believe that genetics played a role since most of the victims were of Pacific Island ancestry and almost all were obese.
