Factors that determine your protein needs are of course whether you're tearing muscles down through heavy lifting, whether you're growing…your genetic makeup, etc. So it would be stupid for anyone to try to give you an exact number of what your protein intake should be. The key is not to eat so...

Aminogen I do not recommend - but then I don't recommend high protien low carb diets either, for health purposes. For the purpose of digesting protien, Aminogen can be beneficial. But understand this: proteases act specifically to break down proteins, lipases concentrate on fats and lipids, and...

Yes and no. Absorption is the key. Preferably it should be taken on an empty stomach and definately not with other amino's or creatine, since they compete for the same transporters and carriers. Bioperine can be a helpful aid in absorption. But even then, you need to provide a carrier for...

Glutamine "works", but not for building muscle like creatine. Think of glutamine as a muscle preservative. The time to be taking glutamine isn't when you're trying to build muscle, but when you are trying to keep what you have. For instance, many people don't like to eat a few hours before bed...

Another supplement you want to take is a good B vitamin complex. Don't get yourself caught up in the science, bodybuilders have been using these supplements (except for citrimax) to carb-up for decades, but they didn't know why - they just knew it worked. Before all these supps, bodybuilders...

CLA at 1000mg lowers insulin resistance, among other benefits. Citrimax at 750 mg helps to shuttle carbs into the muscle cells and prevent spill over to fat cells. vanadyl at 50mg, chromium at 200 mcg and magnesium at 500mg may help the carb-up as they have been shown to improve insulin...

CLA, vanadyl, chromium, magnesium, hydroxycitric acid (trade name Citrimax)

It's not a myth, a manic individual is capable of incredible feats of strength. When they are manic , they are no longer bound by the limitations of sanity. They don't know that they shouldn''t be able to throw people around twice their size, or lift five times their body weight. These kind of...

Don't do it. Although the exact method of action is unknown accutane seems to lower your skins ability to produce sebum or oil. It does nothing to address the hormonal imbalance that is causing the skin to produce too much oil in the first place. Once the drug wares off your acne will come...

Tanning Actually you're both right. Acne (or any other) bacteria are killed by exposure to ultra-violet light. So in the short term, tanning DOES help acne. BUT, in the long term, tanning damages your skin, and damaged skin (often referred to as the third kidney) will become more acne prone...
