thanks again jerry. now, what about your next 5 picks that look promising? and may be a little controversial?






Okay:

Green tea
L-Carnitine tartrate post training, 2 grams
Protein-carb recovery supplement (this could be on the first list, very useful)
NAC
citrulline malate

That last one is a new supplement. I haven't tried it yet, but the research on it looks good, though limited. It aids aerobic metabolism, helps maximize ATP synthesis and may be a good partner for creatine, which is the main substrate for anaerobic ATP metabolism. It's used in Europe to treat fatigue and may help increase energy in those working out. I wrote about it about 6 years ago in my defunct newsletter, Applied Metabolics, and suggested it would be a good supplement. I guess it took some time for others to figure it out. Two supplements NOT to waste money on are ribose and so-called myostatin blockers, which are a complete fraud.
