What is, in your opinion, the best "supplement" in history?

[Knight9]

I'm thinking whey protein since the absorption rate and the speed of digestion is much faster than food...

but then there is stuff like multi-vitamins. They are not easy numbers to hit and a lot of multis have even digestive enzymes in them. I'm thinking maybe multi, protein, then creatine.

I actually saw someone post on a forum a few weeks ago 'Now I know why i wasn't any good shoulder gains... I wasn't using an intra-workout drink!' The gullibility of some people..

Yes it's amazing to me that people will pay $50 for a jug of glorified carbs/protein powder with a fancy label.
If you are training and eating optimally along with the right gas, you could get by with a post work out twinkie and glass of milk.

Ultimate Orange was by far the best supplement ever. That shit was the real deal

I had a bottle of Sci-Fit yohimbe liquid extract that I would put down good money on having clen in it. I have taken plenty of yohimbe bark and HCL and it never made me cramp and my hands shake like the Sci-Fit liquid. I also have taken enough clen to know when I have taken it. No doubt in my mind it was in there. So while effective I do prefer my supps to have whats on the label and nothing else.

I second ultimate orange. That stuff was just increadable!!!

everyone here keeps saying creatine. yeah creatine is great but if you have been eating red meat a few times a week, your not going to see any difference in using creatine. I saw someone post that they had put on 13 lbs when using creatine. Unless you were a vegetarian before i doubt that this is the only factor. Now for my "opinion", I am in love with nitric oxide. just the psychological effects alone when i see how pumped i get, makes me try for more weight and/or more reps.

Creatine supplementation is still optimal in most situations even if red meat consumed several times weekly.

Knight is right. There is only around 5 grams of creatine per 2.5 lbs of raw red meat. You'd have to eat a whole lot of meat to get a decent amount of creatine. Then
depending on how it's cooked it loses some. The more muscular you are obviously means the creatine you can hold. I thought the same thing a while back. Oh I eat enough red meat, I don't need creatine too. Did a little reading and found out I was wrong.

That was me... I gain tons on creatine as do my friends. You have to use it correctly though which no one seems to want to do...

Do you hold a lot of water? I did when I first started taking it but not so much anymore. What do you mean correctly? Like timing, dosing and type?

tons of it and with insulin/lots of carbs you mean?

5gms mixed in some high glycemic drink 6 times a day for a week. Tons of water a day too and no slin needed. Actually now that more research has been done I would add Fenugreek to each dose of creatine as it's shown to increase creatine uptake as good as a glucose drink does. Also found vanadyl sulfate helped a lot. I have a GDA supplement that has it plus other glucose control goodies.

Yes you will get some bloat it's inevitable with monohydrate.

I didnt read the whole thread but ill toss in my two cents . I been using creatine and glutimine in my shakes 3 times a day . I use xtend intra workout and a hydrolyzed protien with HBCD post workout BUT when i started using partition MD before my pre workout shake and right before post workout shake shit got real ! Partition is by far my favorite OTC supplement now . Defiantly worth the money. just my humble two cents

 

[Abigboy]

protein.

So....you'd use fenugreek, vanadyl and a glucose drink? I might try this soon.

 

[aphextwin]

I have fenugreek…I'll try taking it 10-15 minutes prior to creatine mono. It's weird how some people retain water while using creatine. I've been lucky it's not a problem for me.

Also, creatine offers health benefits.

It's been a while, but I used to vanadly with creatine many years ago. I always combined in with a high glucose drink……I truly believe it helped. Maybe it was a placebo, but I experienced some of my best lifts during this time.

This goes back in time, I was using EAS Vanadyl, which I thought was an excellent product. It was loaded with taurine, as well.
