    Magnesium Citrate is a powerful laxative and is used in prepping for a colonoscopy. It's particularly strong when consumed with large amounts of water aka the typical fitness enthusiast. So unless you want to risk runny stools you might want to consider a different form of magnesium like magnesium glycinate (calming) or magnesium orotate (heart health).

      @@BlackMamba-lt8oe I'm talking about magnesium sources, which you need to support workout recovery. My protein smoothie also contains both whey and a mix of plant proteins that definitely do "absorb". The keys: find a blend of plant proteins that collectively form a complete protein source, and commit to a strength training workout lifestyle over the period of years. It takes time to build muscle mass no matter where you get your protein.

I can understand that hardcore bodybuilders need powders as a supplement (ie hard to eat as much food as needed to fill in the needed calories/proteins) but most "normal" people don't need it. Whey protein powder is btw basically a side product from making cheese. So why not chew on some additional cheese instead and you simultaneously get a bunch of vitamins as a bonus. I can however see some benefit of doing EAA or BCAA but that is a different story.

    Magnesium citrate:
    This product is used to clean stool from the intestines before surgery or certain bowel procedures (such as colonoscopy, radiography), usually with other products. It may also be used for relief of constipation. However, milder products (such as stool softeners, bulk-forming laxatives) should be used whenever possible for constipation.Magnesium citrate is a saline laxative that is thought to work by increasing fluid in the small intestine. It usually results in a bowel movement within 30 minutes to 3 hours. Read and follow all directions on the product package. If your doctor has directed you to use this product before surgery or a bowel procedure, your doctor should tell you how long before the surgery/procedure you should take this product. If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist. To improve taste, this product may be chilled in the refrigerator before use. Do not freeze.
    Dosage is based on your medical condition, age, and response to treatment. Drink a full glass of water (8 ounces or 240 milliliters) after taking this product unless otherwise directed by your doctor. Doing so will help prevent serious side effects (such as dehydration).
    If this product is used too often, it may cause loss of normal bowel function and an inability to have a bowel movement without using the product (laxative dependence). If you notice symptoms of overuse, such as diarrhea, abdominal pain, decreased weight, or weakness, contact your doctor promptly.
    Avoid taking tetracycline/quinolone antibiotics (such as doxycycline, tetracycline, ciprofloxacin) within 2 hours before or after this product. Doing so may decrease the effect of the antibiotic.

    There's only 3 supplements you NEED in my opinion. These have the most consistent results when it comes to studies and a lot of other supplements only help you if you aren't getting enough from your diet. This isn't including protein powder because that's obvious.
    1. Creatine (Proven to increase muscle size, recovery, and reduce soreness)
    2. Boron (A mineral shown to consistently increase free testosterone which helps with gains)
    3. Citrulline (increases vascularity, blood flow and oxygen to muscles, and lowers blood pressure)
    Citrulline is also very good and I recommend finding a preworkout with atleast 5,000mg of Citrulline Malate or 3,000mg L-Citrulline. I will say be careful with Citrulline as too much can make you light headed from your blood pressure going too low.

      Protein supplement effect for me is that a coffee with it makes me feel fuller, so I eat less. Being in shape, and losing wt are my two goals. Working out I can get serious calf cramps during the night sleeping. Taking BCAAs coincided with that stopping, or just long enough got in shape but with one month layoff and back at gym, cramps were mild with BCAAs, so doubled the dose and then they were just gone, or got into the rhythm again, but the correlation is consistent. Extremely overtired all day is called vitamin D deficiency. I had that once after some surgery and sitting around the house a lot. Doctor tech identified that, and bam, gone with startup big dosing of vitamin D.

    (don't know your personal email so I'm sending this here): So, a 'little' about myself:
    I'm currently 52 yrs old, 5'10", 240 lbs (at last weigh-in; gained 5 lbs in span of month; last month worked out about 5x) during my physical of a week ago, BP: 160/100 (way too high), cholesterol: 224; my main problem: have worked out off/on - INCONSISTENTLY for the better part of the past 20-25 yrs...meaning I'll work out or use a workout regimen; recently working out at home using youtube regimens of (Zeus Fitness, Funk Roberts, etc.) as well as CDs: T-25, YRG Yoga but after doing them for about 2-3 months and don't see ANY results: I may lose about 5lbs hear n there but nothing substantial, plus gain some muscle - but muscle covering fat; I'll eventually get discouraged n end up taking a day off which quickly becomes a month -- like CURRENTLY!!!!
    Besides being overweight n out-of-shape carrying a BMI of (approx.) in the 35-38% range & carry (approx. 25% - 30% of body fat (waist: 42", neck: 17.5-18"); my ultimate goals would be to get my weight down to the 195 lb range, body fat: 15% - 18% (max), and WAISTLINE down to 36" -- while encompassing a lean, cut/defined look!!!
    I suffer from 'skinny fat' disease: long-ass arms w some slight definition, decent thighs but (of course) a gut: esp. lower n side abs (obliques)!!
    I've had a long history of: low mood/'depressed state', LOW T, ED n BLOATING n now that I"m 52.5 yrs old (will be 53 in Oct) it's appearing things get that much tougher as I get older especially when you haven't won the 'genetic lottery' such as myself!!!!!!
    Practically everyday, whether I workout or not, supplements (off of Amazon) I take are:
    - Naturelo Multivitamins (for men over 40; although I need the over 50 yrs old ones) (4-6/per day)
    - Garden of Life Probiotics (1)/per day
    - Naturewise Vitamin D3 (1)/per day
    - MegaFood Adrenal Strength (2)/per; (1) for 1st & 2nd meals
    - Ultimate Omega 3 Fish Oil (2)/per; (1) for 1st & 2nd meals
    - Organic Beet Root (2-4) per day: 1st & 2nd meals
    - Wellness Formula capsules (4-6)/per day
    - Turmeric Curcumin (3)/per day
    - Goli Apple Cider Vinegar Gummies (4-6)/per day
    - Testo Booster Fat Burner (2)/per day
    Daily Nutrition:
    - Drink (close to 1/2 gal - gal of Ten Alkaline Water)
    - 3 meals/per day: 1st (9:30-10am): Michele's Granola (switching to 3 Wishes Grain Free Cereal w Owyn Plant Protein
    2nd (1-1:30pm): Amy's Organic Vegetable Pot Pie
    Fruit: Organic Apple
    3rd: (4:30pm): Owyn Plant Protein shake
    4th: (7:30pm): Daily Harvest Smoothie (mainly after a workout)
    (Of course I have my 'cheat' day/days: Fri/Sat where I may eat: Chipolte, Chick-Fil-A, or order some Asian Takeout) for example.
    My anomaly / enigma about myself: I've NEVER smoked, hardly ever drink, may eat fried foods no more than handful of times - if that many/per month, don't have much stress in my life -- only n admittedly unless self-imposed, but sleep on avg. about 6hrs/per night (mainly while at a graveyard shift security officer job I do Mon-Fri): but know I need to get closer to 8hrs/per night of deep sleep per night in my bed!!
    Well, that's pretty much been my lifestyle esp. the past 2-3 yrs of more of probably why my metabolism / testosterone levels n overall health n wellness has been stagnated as well as weight been in the 230s n waistline been over 40" (currently 42") -- especially for at least the past 10 yrs!!!!!!!!
    I need a significant lifestyle change: which, by the way, should start next month when I relocate from Northern VA to Tampa, FL area!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
    Please send me TANGIBLE, HEALTHY, n LIFESTYLE changes I could follow but I ULTIMATELY know it start w me n WHAT'S IN MY MIND (another side note: I talk to an online therapist from time to time as well!!)

If I was to only take a couple would you say ashwagandha and omega 3 fish oil with creatine and a good protein intake is the best combination. I also take a vitamin d3 iu4000 every 3/4 days because I figured I wouldn’t need to take that everyday. I’ve been doing some research online and I’ve heard l-carnitine and creatine shouldn’t be taken together. If someone could give me there knowledge on the combination of supplements that would be much appreciated, thanks :)

    All of these supplements are a good idea. I actually take most of them. But.. please can we stop advertising taking 90% of supplements post workout. I see so many people bashing on supplements because they read that they should be taken after a workout and they end up taking 5 pills and drinking a shake containing god knows how many powders. Your body doesn't give a damn when you take your magnesium ,or creatine, or protein for that matter.. It's not magically going to pick the lasts thing that entered ignoring the stores it's already got. The only way you might get any benefit from taking things at that specific time is if you are heavily depleted and the body doesn't have anything stored to use. Make sure that you take things throughout the day at convenient times. It's not that big of a deal to stack them, but you need to know your body, because making it absorb big amounts of supplements can lead to discomfort and you are also very likely to absorb a lot less then you could if you modulate. There are things like caffeine which are taken before a workout, but you do that because you need the temporary boost. Creatine gets stored over time, what studies show on effectiveness might as well show the difference between the way different people's bodies react to the supplement. Protein isn't anything fancy either, take it whenever.
    TLDR: You don't need to take stuff at specific times. It might be better, it might be worse, our bodies are different, some people get sick from taking many supplements at once, some don't. Excluding energy boosters your body doesn't care when you take your supplements. And also if you're taking any supplements drink more water.

    Question, this caught my interest and would like to know, “does taking all these supplements have any side effects towards the liver or kidney’s”?

      @@philipsvensson9368 its a common (very common) fact that most protein should come from whole foods. However it's hard to get enough of my protein from whole foods alone. A 30 gram protein shake plus some for milk really helps. I still agree with most of your points other than the cheaper part. Chicken is pretty expensive, at least where I live. When I buy a tub of protein powder, it's going to last for awhile. So I look at per "meal". I can't imagine chicken is cheaper than a protein shake but who knows.

    When training for more muscle mass should you add more weight each set like A pyramid set or should you just do a warm-up set and then like 3 sets of 8-10 reps with the same high weight?

      Pyramid is for your warm up, increase the weights until you get to your working weight and then just do your sets with your working weight

    I’d recommend canned wild salmon over fish oil pills since it also benefits you by providing a huge protein source/meal. Additionally, salmon can’t hold mercury the way tuna can.
    Tart cherry juice is delicious but expensive, it also really will knock you out if you have more than a few ounces. I recommend the cherry juice before bed for a good nights sleep. But I only drink a few shots worth.
