- if you let your fears keep you from flying, you will never reach your high-

Tribugain : I've never tried this product, nor have I ever heard of it. Quick research from the manufacturer's site says it helps with muscle growth, power, stamina, and recuperation. Sounds like the miracle pill lol and makes me wonder if it is not complete b.s. Further research shows that "Tribulus Terrestris" one of the two ingredients in this 'Tribugain' causes an increase in Testosterone, but this, one study showed only increased Testosterone levels if you were 'below normal' levels. Kudzu, the other ingredient, upon minor research, revealed that it is used in reducing hangovers and alcohol consumption. Neither of which are beneficial to training. I have never taken this product. It sounds, upon minor research, that I would not recommend this.
 

 
L-Carnitine : Carnitine in the "L" form, which is the only form usable to the body (as far as I know, or perhaps the best used by the body). Carnitine is used by cells to process fat and produce energy. This sounds like a winner to me. I think this sounds like a good supplement.
 

 
Creatine monohydrate : Definately in agreeance here. Creatine is found in many forms, but monohydrate is the cheapest by far, and seems to be the form primarily used in studies. So more is known about the effects of monohydrate than any other form. I would recommend, given a 10g dosage, that you take 5g somewhere between 30-45 minutes prior to your workout. And again immediately following your workout. I dont know if the body would use all 10g at once, and thus a waste. I use, and recommend, this product. I only use 5g post-workout, but others on this site use it pre-workout as well.
 

 
Glutamine : Not enough can be said about the great benefits of this amino acid. It is well known as a protein synthesizer, and also an anti-catabolic. So it prevents the break down of muscle. I use, and recommend this product. I take ~5g post-workout and I drink it in my water throughout the day.
 

 
Omega-3 Fish Oil : Definately. Fish oil, as a healthy fat, is very beneficial to the body. I take it to help with joint problems. Most of us are deficient in Omega3s, so this is a great source of it. I use, and recommend, this product. I take 3g per day. 1g (1 pill) in the morning, 1g mid-day, 1g at night
 

 
Ultra-Slim Complex : I have never used this product.
 

 
Whey Protein : Totally. We put un-normal amounts of stress on our muscles when we workout, so we need more protein than a 'normal amount' to help repair them! I use whey religiously, but don't overdo it. Some recommend 1.5-2g of whey per LB (pound) of body weight. I stay closer to 1.5g. We all know protein is insanely important in muscle building, so i wont go into detail :D. I use, and HIGHLY recommend this product for anyone that does any sort of body training.
 

 
Multi-vitamins : Again, definately. Most of us dont come remotely close to the daily recommended values of many many vitamins and minerals. Taking a multi-vitamin is definately a must in my honest opinion. We should take care of our bodies. As the Bible says, our body is a temple. I use, and HIGHLY recommend this product for everyone!
 

 
Disclaimer: I dont have a degree in anything yet, and I am far from a degree in anything fitness/nutrition related, but I do my fair share of research. I wont put anything into my body (knowingly), without researching it heavily first. I do, however, have a know-it-all brother, a twin, who is getting his degree. (lol, much love Will :D)
