Best supplement for recovery?
What supplement helps the best with recovery? Creatine?

I just recently asked GoLdeN M 07 this very same question and he claims Fish oil works wonders.

EAA's or BCAA's are stellar as well, depending on your goals and diet.
also, taurine because it is cheap and works well.

BCAAs and Glutamine are proven to assist in recovery. That's why mixing Xtend from Scivation with some unflavored carbs is a great post-workout drink.

Im not really sure if creatine would be for "recovery" per say...I'd say for recovery-BCAA's, protein, and possibly cit mal but have done little research on the latter.

Stimulatory effect of glutamine on glycogen accumulation in human skeletal muscle -- Varnier et al. 269 (2): E309 -- AJP - Endocrinology and Metabolism Glutamine may be more of a stretch, but I'd love to see you attack BCAAs with more than a 2-word response. |

glutamine is a stretch and there is as much research pro as there is con. i personally do not recommend it. i prefer a carb eaa mix pwo for recovery and honestly feel that bcaa's are extremely overrated. ive seen no difference between bcaa and a comparable amount of protein. there are compounds that help me with recovery, but of the basics i stick with eaa and carbs. (yes i am aware bcaa's are contained within eaa's, i just feel the complete eaa is a better choice)
