Thread: Best supplement

Protein!!!!!!!!!!

Right, thank you.

Creatine. You can get enough protein from a high protein diet(Milk,tuna, and eggs are cheap).

I would say both protein and creatine but you can get protein from food. so i will lean towards creatine

As the others stated protein you can get from food, so creatine, Creapure cheap and effective, a kilo will last you several months for 17 bucks

nice price.

Food

After protein and adequate calories:

Dark green vegetables (fiber and a host of vitamins, minerals and other phytonutrients)

And if we're choosing supplements then I'd probably say creatine, assuming the basics are covered by your diet.

Creatine, IMO since protein can come very easily through diet.

Creatine mono!

Due to the overwhelming health benefits it would be fishoil for me then creatine in a close second.

Fish oil nice choice. Protein if you can't get enough in your food, creatine if you don't eat enough meat.

protein or glutamine

Glutamine? I would hardly consider that the best. Especially on a limited budget. Why would someone need to supplement with glutamine if they were getting in from practically every food they're eating?

True. Maybe on an intense starvation diet... but who the F*ck would do that.

funny thing is I see people saying Glutimine is a bad supplement or Ive seen people list it in the "worst supplement" list they have tried. Its a great overall health supplement. Glutimine is a healer......extra glutimine is great for the body. Its hard to get enough out of food and protein supplemts.

No kidding. Big waste of cash.

It is? Considering about 10% of the protein you eat is glutamine, PLUS your body can make it, unless you're on a starvation diet as BigBlack said, on very low protein for extended periods of time, how hard can it be to get "enough" of this non-essential amino acid?

Not too mention all of the studies showing its benefits were done intravenously on very sick patients.

definately protein powder. you can get enough creatine from eating red meat but protein powder is a great choice for when you dont feel like eating a meal but need something quick to keep you in a positive nitrogen balance.

It was a toss up between Ibcaa's and Creapure Creatine. I could eat enough animal protein to not have to rely on a powder ( but it is nice to have ).

If forced to choose just one supplement, what would it be?

Make sure food is covered 100% first! Then, if I were to add one supplement for the purpose of getting bigger/stronger it would be creatine.

Id agree on everyone saying food. Honestly if budget is tight, that should be the first place you invest in (along with your gym membership, lol)...

After that, my staples that I run literally all year would be Creapure, MultiVitamin, Fishoil, but I could do without any if I wasn't making calories.

Chicken. Bought in bulk it's cheap. After that spices so you can keep eating it and not get tired of it.

Then, maybe protein, creatine, multi, fishoil.

Udos oil choice blend.
