What is the consensus about Calcium Pyruvate? Is it really worth the cost?

I workout with my trainer at 6:30 a.m. MWF and get up at 3:30 a.m. to have a full breakfast that then has 2+ hours to fully digest. As soon as I wake up (before I eat breakfast), I've been used to taking one SPIKE pill to get me fully engaged for the day. It has been good to my system...

Anyone used Calcium Pyruvate for any length of time? I have been taking 2 capsules (750 mg) per meal three times a day for about three months and don't know if it's worth the money. It is very expensive (about $500 for 150 capsules) and wondering if I am better off with some other alternative.

Thanks. Regarding the HGH, obviously I meant 5 days a week for a prolonged period of time (not just 5 and stop).

I have done hard weight training three times a week with a trainer for the past four years (sporadically before that time) and for the past year also have been occasionally replacing the weight training with boxing and martial arts with a private coach for that as well. I am 50-years old, 6'1"...

Has anyone used the fat burner supplement Venom?

I have heard contradictory reports/advice on whether protein powder is effective when adding it to oatmeal during the cooking phase (when boiling it). Does the protein powder become ineffective or does it maintain its primary proteins? It seems like an easy way to even out the ratio between...

Try Eggology -- www.eggology. I order 48 (two cases) of the 16 oz. egg whites at a time and have them sent to my house. They come frozen and packed in dry ice. They thaw in a refrigerator and I put the ones I don't need in my freezer. I eat half of a 16-oz. carton every morning for breakfast...

I like the protein sources in it but the 29g of sugar and the 4g of fat are higher than what I would like.

Does anyone have any suggestions about which protein bar offers the highest protein, lowest sugar/fat/calories and still tastes decent? I have a tough time being able to mix a protein drink and work and, mid-morning and mid-afternoon, I either drink a Myoplex Lite Ready-to-Drink vanilla...

Is Amplify02 available in retail stores, or only through its website?

Good question. My running is certainly not competitive in nature. I like the way I look with the extra cardio, as long as I don't get too thin and keep building muscle (which isn't that easy at 50-years old). I just didn't want to use anything that would "hurt" my running (if there's no...

Is EQ available in a pill or tablet form (or only through injection)?

I am nearly 50-years old, 6'1", 190 lbs. I have been on a vigorous weightlifting program two to three times a week with a personal trainer for the past four years and have an athletic build, around 13% body fat and most would consider me fairly lean but with a Men's Health-type body. I also am...
