I found that after 20 years the classic buzz phrase "1g per lb of bodyweight" is BS for me. I weigh 200 lbs and 125-150 grams of protein give me better results for lean body mass and especially for better digestion.

[Ledman41]

Ya'll are the best. I did have a few questions regarding some of the supplementation. I'm taking a pre-workout supplemented with creatine, a home-made post-workout made up of creatine, whey and dextrose, and then I supplement with Udo's, casein and Vitamin D3 throughout the day. My questions are "what to look for in a multi-vitamin" and any direct product suggestions or "things to look for" in an intra-workout geared towards electrolyte recovery. I am a 22 year old male.

@Ledman41 sounds like you are on the right track. You don't necessarily need creatine pre- and post-workout (~5g post is good enough) or an intra-workout if you are taking in enough calories. If you feel you need one, we just got samples of a beta-alanine, fruits and greens, and Peptopro pre/intra-workout powder (can't give name until we have it in the next couple weeks), nice thing about it is Peptopro requires very little blood in your gut to digest it so you can keep it in muscle tissue...

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Ledman41 (cont'd) Taking vitamin D is very good. For a multi we recommend what both Garden of Life and New Chapter are doing w/ whole food, fermented vitamins. Hope this helps, thanks for watching.

[Ledman41]

@BestPriceNutrition I guess intra-workout was the wrong term to use. I'm not looking for extra calories, just something for electrolytes. I work up quite a sweat at the gym, and I ride my bike to and from, so I want to make sure at some point I take something beyond just water to replenish what I'm losing, without unnecessary additions and calories. Thanks for all of the other suggestions.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Ledman41 in that case the product referenced above would be very good. We will have it in at the end of the week or early next week so please free to hit us back up and we can give the name (sorry to be all secretive, its not us rather the company that makes it told us when we got samples to keep it quiet until we have it, kind of silly if you ask us but we have to respect their wishes).

[RicardoManuel16]

hey john! do you know of any studies that support the need for multivitamin supplements in athletes? How much can the necessities be increased?

[BestPriceNutrition]

@RicardoManuel16 sure, also we don't necessarily believe every athlete needs a multi. Rather we believe it's an insurance policy for many and there are people who are lacking (not to mention using RDIs is a bit misleading, see vitamin D research as a clear example). Those who are eating lots of healthy unprocessed food are probably fine w/o them, however that describes very few people. An article in the Journal of the American Medical Association also recently evaluated the...

[BestPriceNutrition]

@RicardoManuel16 (cont'd) available medical literature and recommended that Americans consume a one-a-day low-dose multivitamin in order to promote general health. Suggestions that there is no benefit of vitamin supplementation for athletes and/or it is unethical for an sports nutrition specialist to recommend that their clients take a one-a-day multi-vitamin and/or suggest taking other vitamins that may raise HDL cholesterol levels and decrease risk of heart disease (niacin), serve as...

[BestPriceNutrition]

@RicardoManuel16 (cont'd) antioxidants (Vitamin E), preserve musculoskeletal function and skeletal mass (vitamin D), or may help maintain a health immune system (Vitamin C) is not consistent with current available literature. (Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition). Hope this helps, let us know if you have any other questions. thanks for watching.

[fireking9934]

i really dont like using those things (supplements) any at all... i might drink a protein shake now and then...

is there any way to get bigger muscles without using supplements

[BestPriceNutrition]

@fireking9934 yes you can, especially if you train hard and eat well. Supplements are here to literally supplement your diet. The problem we have now is getting everything we need from diet alone, it can be done however it is not easy. For instance is difficult (and expensive) to wild sockeye salmon everyday to get your omega 3's. Three supplements that you should consider are Protein powder, EFA (omega 3, highly recommend Minami), and a good probiotic supplement.

[darcha22]

MOST WESTERN DIETS ARE OVER INDULGED IN OMEGA 6 AND 9, OMEGA 3 ARE THE ONESYOU WANT TO SUPPLEMENT WITH. OMEEEEGA 3 ONLY!!!!!!!!!! YOU WONT DIE WITHOUT THEM. RIDILAN IS CRYSTAL METH BTW. EAT SEEDS, NUTS, BLUEBERRIES, FISH, OMEGA 3 FISH OILS . THATS ALL YOU NEED. DONT LISTEN TO THESE GUYS THEY ARE PRODUCT PUSHERS, THEY DONT KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT BESIDE THE CREATINE STUFF THEY SAY. IN SAYONG THAT CREATINE GLUCONATE WORKS PRETTY GOOD

[BestPriceNutrition]

@darcha22 we get it you like the Paleo diet (which we tend to agree with), however typing in caps on every comment is annoying. Yes you are a genius and we are fools.

[Lucasius19]

Hi sir, i'm very underweight and i would like to gain water weight with creatine, i tried some cheap creatine mono and it did nothing, is there any other creatine makes that will help me? maybe muscle tech ??

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Lucasius19 creatine monohydrate is still the way to go, try adding it to a carb drink such as fruit juice as this will give you an insulin spike. If you are having trouble gaining weight be sure to increase you calories as you have to eat more than you burn. Hope this helps.

[brawnyBODY]

@Lucasius19 no muscletech is garbage and overprised

[madmoody79]

is optimum health ultimate whey protein from discount supplements any good ????????

[Mclovin2602]

Hi guys sorry to bother again but I have another question.

What are your guys' thoughts on L-carnitine for fat loss? Is it worth the money?

Thanks guys!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Mclovin2602 as an ergogenic aid there is no evidence that supports the effectiveness of carnitine. In the body carnitine serves as a transporter of fatty acids however to date research indicates that supplementing l-carnitine does not affect muscle carnitine levels. At this point you should save your money.

[Mclovin2602]

Guys love the vids! I turn to you when I have any queries on supplements.

My question is this.

At the moment i'm taking whey protein isolate, purple wraath and creatine monohydrate.

Do you guys think it would be beneficial for me to take beta analine and glutamine?

Thanks guys.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Mclovin2602 beta alanine would be a good addition to any regimen, keep in mind there is some beta alanine in Purple Wraath (not sure how much as it is part of a proprietary blend). Shoot for ~ 3-4g/day of beta alanine. As for glutamine we have not really seen enough evidence to show that supplementing extra glutamine improves performance and/or increases lean body mass. It's intuitive to say it will help due to its abundance in the body however the evidence is lacking. Hope this helps.

[Mclovin2602]

@BestPriceNutrition Thanks a lot guys!

really helped in making my decision!

You guys are great

[SpartanKyuubi]

guys, what do you think about creatine HCL?

I'm using Con-cret and I would like to know the difference between Creatine mono and creatine hcl.

Would you recommend any of them for endurance runners?

Thanks. Great videos by the way.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@SpartanKyuubi it's creatine bound to hydrochloric acid. The vast majority of research on creatine has been conducted on creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate works and it's cheaper so you will save money. It will not help for endurance running as it works with fast twitch muscle fibers by recycling ATP. However if you do any explosive sprint training or resistance training it will help. Hope this answered your question.

[SpartanKyuubi]

@BestPriceNutrition thanks for the quick reply. I would suggest that you should also recommend l-glutamine, since is one of those supplements that everyone takes and have great results.

nice 

[93Gatorchomp93]

Is up your mass worth the money? I was told by my strength coach I need to get a good weight gainer, to prepare for the wrestling season.

[BestPriceNutrition]

@93Gatorchomp93 its ok however one problem many including us have with it is that it contains soy protein and its celebrated on the label. Soy protein is not something to boast about, the fact of the matter is that it is a cheaper raw material than whey, egg, or casein.

[Raafi1234]

by the way, if they forgot to thank you for sharing this information.... THANK YOU!

[BestPriceNutrition]

@Raafi1234 no problem, thank you for watching our videos.

[OneTrickPony13]

Guys great video. Its about time someone has facts about some supplements. I have only used good protien powders and in my opinion its really all anybody needs. All of the other junk sold in stores is no more then a waste of money. A decent protien powder is all that is needed for ppl looking to gain muscle.
