How To Take Your Supplements & Maximize Their Effectiveness!

Are you unclear or not sure exactly how to take your supplements? Many people have this dilemma and I’m here to help you out!!

There are certain times during the day in which consuming your supplements will make them twice as effective. There are also times when you really shouldn’t take some products and possibly confuse your body. Supplement timing is VERY important because this could make a substantial difference towards achieving your goals.

The following is a list of products that I highly recommend and use on a daily basis. Below each category I’ll tell you exactly how & when to take the product. By properly consuming your supplements, you’ll get more out of them and see better physical progress. It’s all about getting MASSIVE RESULTS! Lets get you started!

QUALITY MULTI-VITAMIN/MINERAL

• Dual Tabs by Twinlab
• Animal Pak by Universal

Take one to two tablets with food in the morning or with your first meal. Also take one to two tablet with your last meal.

HIGH QUALITY PROTEIN POWDER

• 100% Whey Protein by Optimum Nutrition (Good whey protein isolate)
• Substance WPI by Primaforce (good post workout protein isolate)

*A fast acting protein is the best way to quickly restore amino acids inside of muscle tissue to speed up the recovery process. The faster you recover, the faster you gain muscle!

• EVOPRO by Cytosport
  (Blend of proteins which is good during the day or at night)

Take in between meals when protein is needed.

**MOST importantly, take 50-80 grams 30-60 minutes after your workouts. This gives your body time to calm down and process the protein into amino acids thereby repairing and rebuilding muscle tissue. If you don’t eat a protein meal before bed, then this is also an excellent time to take needed protein (while you sleep).

ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS (EFA’S)

• CLA by Optimum Nutrition
• Flax Liquid Gold by Health from the Sun

*Essential fats are essential for gains in lean muscle mass. Good fats create the proper environment for anabolic hormones and keep your joints healthy. Take a.m. and p.m. with meals.

• Borage Oil by Health from the Sun

Take with food 2-3 times daily.

CREATINE

• Cr2 by ALR Industries (Excellent Creatine Ethyl Ester product)

*Cr2 is a creatine that requires no loading, cycling and does not create bloat or water retention. Cr2 will give you excellent gains in strength and muscle mass.

CEE, Glutamine Ethyl Ester, Citrulline malate, L-Norvaline and a unique hydroxy variants of arginine (NoHa). You will notice the most extreme muscle pumps around along with an increase in strength and quicker recovery. The best part of any cell voumizer is that they do just that, expand and swell up the muscle tissue! Take 4 capsules 30 minutes prior to training and 4 capsules immediately after training. Drink them down with Pure Vitrago! This super fast acting carb will pull the nutrients quickly thru the stomach and into the muscle tissue!

With today’s Creatine Ethyl Ester, the need to load is no more. Take CEE 15-20 minutes before you train and immediately after
For good old Creatine Monohydrate, load creatine for approximately 5 days. Take 5 grams of creatine, in between meals 4 times a day for the first 5 days. **MOST importantly, take 5 grams 15-20 minutes prior to your workout AND 8-10 grams immediately after your workout. After the loading phase, take creatine just before and after your wokouts. On non-training days, still take creatine (you want to keep it in your system) 5 grams in between meals twice per non-training day. Do not leave creatine sitting in water as it will degrade and be useless to you. Consume creatine as soon as you’re done mixing it!

GLUTAMINE

• Glutaform by Primaforce
  *The most abundant amino acid in muscle tissue. Glutamine has been shown to increase recovery and increase muscle cell volume. Take 5-10 grams before and after your workouts.
• N’Gorge by ALR Industries
  It’s best to take glutamine frequently throughout the day. 4-5 grams mixed in water, Pure Vitargo or your protein shake three times per day (morning, noon, and night).
