Thread: Green tea extract, caffeine, and carnitine

In the Nov. issue of M&F I was reading an article 'The "Do Not Do" List: GETTING LEAN' pg 138

It's basically saying if I am not taking the following supps it will result in a downshift in my progress:

200-400 mg of caffeine with breakfast
200-400 mg of caffeine 1-2 hrs pre-wo

500 mg green tea extract (three times daily) including one serving before wo

1-2 grams carnitine (three times daily) including one serving before and one serving immediately after wo.

Along with hard training and sound dieting I take:

5g creatine mono immediately after wo

2-3 whey protein mixed with water with glutamine and basic bcaa included (36g of whey protein per serving) , pre and after wo

multi-vitamin

( Is it worth adding the questioned supps to this list at the recomended dosages is the question ????)

So I take it Prince recommends the GTE. What about the Alcar?

my wife found me some GTE at Costco.

TruNature Green Tea Standardized Extract

Green Tea 600mg
EGCG 300 mg Epigallocatechin gallate - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Caffeine 42 mg

Started taking them yesterday, we'll see how they work. Pretty affordable, 320 softgells under $20.

Gonna shop around for the Alcar today.

Thanks for the feedback
