Lately if feels like all I do is take supplements, but I know how beneficial they are for me and how they help aid in my fitness routine….so I do it.

Every morning, before my strength training workouts, I add glutamine, BCAA’s and now creatine to my protein shake.

* Glutamine I use for muscle strength and recovery.

* BCAA’s help to aid in preventing muscle loss and help to build up muscle.

* Creatine helps to increase my lean muscle mass, helps me to perform hard workouts by increasing my energy levels and it also helps to speed up recovery in my muscles.

In the morning, after my workouts and breakfast, I take the following supplements, which are:

* Vitamin C
* Stress B-Complex
* Calcium with Vitamin D (the vit D aids in the absorption of the calcium)
* Total EFA’s -these help to aid in joint mobility and fat loss
* Glucosamine- these also help my joints.
* Chromium Picolinate - these help with my carb cravings and help with fat loss also.

At night I take:

* L-Tryptophan - which helps me to sleep and also helps with my PMS and moods.
* ZMA - I am out of this right now, but soon to get some more. This is Zinc and Magnesium and these help with my sleeping and also aid in my workouts. The magnesium is also said to have a little “fiber” affect, which helps with regularity also.

I order all of my supplements either through Bodybuilding.com or Vitacost.com. They both have great service, fast shipping and most of all, high quality products! If you have any questions about any of these supplements or any that you are taking, contact me and I will answer your questions!
