Before you ask a question about supplements...

I am an actress, and need my skin to be in great shape... I've been using this product for about a year now with EXCELLENT results.

 

[vitamedica159]

. In fact, if I run out and skip a week or 2, I notice a significant negative difference in my skin.

 

[vitamedica159]

I'm a serious fan of the "Clear Skin formula", and I would recommend it.

 

[vitamedica159]

I’ve been using this product for over 9 months. After taking it for only one week, I felt more energized and felt my complexion seemed to be glowing.

 

[vitamedica159]

I would recommend that anyone who is concerned about marinating good health to try this product.

I feel and look younger since using the Anti-Aging Formula.

 

[vitamedica159]

Aging is most closely associated with the youthfulness of our appearance.

 

[vitamedica159]

However, the aging process not only affects the integumentary system (skin, hair & nails), but the cardiovascular, digestive, nervous and musculoskeletal systems.

 

[vitamedica159]

If you’re concerned about looking and feeling older, you can fight the aging process in a number of ways.

 

[vitamedica159]

This includes a health promoting diet & lifestyle, antioxidants taken through foods and anti aging supplements,

 

[vitamedica159]

cosmeceuticals specifically geared for environmentally-damaged skin and treatments like Intense Pulsed Light (IPL) and fractional resurfacing (Fraxel®).

By now, most of us have heard the message that Americans aren’t getting enough of the health-promoting Omega-3 fatty acids

 

[vitamedica159]

in the foods we eat. As such, over the last several years we have been advised to augment our diets with fish oil supplements.

 

[vitamedica159]

The compounds found in fish oil - EPA (Eicosapentaenoic Acid) and DHA (Docosahexaenoic Acid) - are associated with

cardiovascular and brain health. Given that cardiovascular disease is the #1 killer for both men and women, it’s no wonder that

why some supplements are not working properly?

 

[suppRatings]

people fail to realize that supplementation is the icing onthe cake

 

[Wiseguy.]

Not for me it isn't, just a minor aid.

 

[KevinC]

supplements seem more natural to me than plastic surgery or lipo or gastric bypass or so many other weight loss options out there.

of course you have to use them as directed. nice to see people discussing this stuff

NEED HELP:: WORKOUT regeme

Hi Im 19, 5'10, 165-170 as my weight goes back n forth between the two, have a very muscular, lean, but build. In fact I put on muscle so fast its frightening, and its always so very lean, im also very vascular. dunno if that helps? I have a good diet, and on avg eat about 3k cals a day when im not working out, and about 4-6k when i am.

But recently I have been unable to get more gains doing the things I have been, even pushing my muscles to the absolute limit, gets me a big pump and maybe a little more size here and there, but otherwise very... very slowly.

Thats why I started looking into supps. The onlly things I have taken are vits and wheys, never taken creatines or any PHs or NO, none of that. Which brings me to my next question.

Can I have a person who actually knows what they are talking about give me a full list of things pre-durring-- and post-workouts?

I have looked a little into NO pre workouts and the one I like the best is Gaspari SuperPump MAX, but other than no pre workouts and even that, I know little in the supp department. Another side note, idk if this helps, but i wanna be around 190+ lbs

Can some one help me with using/picking the corect supplements

I am about 5'7 and weight 150 pounds. I lift weights currently on Monday, Wednesday, and Fridays. I run Monday through Friday. I want to do a figure competition next year but know I have to thin out and build muscles. I have been reading and reading but have no clue what is true or how to proceed. I would just love some guidance. What supplements to take to get me to the weight goal and build muscle. Sorry for the long story. Thank you in advance.

Just to keep you focused on the right things, diet, training, cardio & recovery are the primary components of your prep. The supplements are only going to be secondary to SUPPORT the diet, training, cardio & recovery, They are not going to make the difference and there is no set of products that is going to get you there if you aren't 1000% focused & consistent w/ your diet, training, cardio & recovery.

Also you need to be clear on your goals and the time frame you have to do them. How far off is your show? You cant' expect to build any sort of appreciable muscle while dieting so if you need more muscle, spend a good 4 months MIN working on that. I also think if you need to build some mass you need to train more than 3 days / week. Also how much running do you do? If you're doing this while you're trying to build some lean mass, it may actually be catabolizing and defeating your growth efforts. Then allow yourself 16 weeks to cut into your competition date.

The basics I would recommend:

Generally:
4-6 g fish oils / EFAs
decent multi
Probiotic
anti-oxidants

Building phase:
creatine
glutamine

Cutting phase:
any decent stimulant - or simply build your own ECA stack.
Glutamine

Thank you Sassy69!! I want to lift more but I am finding that the recovery for just the three days is killing me. (good pain) I am reading a lot on eating clean to get my diet on track. In two week I will add 1 more day of lifting, than go to 5 days after that. When I run, it's at least three miles, different paces. I was told that competition season does not start till March, so that was my goal.

 

[malinamartis]

Yes i must agree with you, before taking any supplement you must maintain your choice of food , keep track of your diet.

Was there any follow up on this post, or new opinions? I myself have ulcer/acid troubles to the point where rows, squats and such really tear my guts up

 

[harmanrainu]

i do agree with you!

 

[malinamartis]

I agree none of the supplements beat healthy eating or diet. Eating smart food is that it???s not just what you eat, but how you eat.
