Essentials + Poseidon

Any benefits of stacking the 2? Discuss..

Honestly I would not stack the two of them. You are definitely better off with essentials, reason being that essentials provides all vitamins and minerals needed just like poseidon, Plus we incorporate creatine monohydrate which increases ATP production allowing you to get more reps and strength in the gym. Beta-alanine also is a great addition to essentials. It increases aerobic and anaerobic endurance through increasing carsonine levels. Carsonine levels aka fast-twitch muscle fibers are important to all athletes and bodybuilders looking to put on lean muscle mass and explosive strength. Essentials also contains all BCAA's needed which is an important aspect to recovery of the muscles, let's not forget about the digestive enzymes which help you digest the compounds to essentials easier, which means no GI-stress, eventually meaning more bio-availability.

Good post. Agreed Essentials is a more complete formula. I do like the high dose B-12 in Poseidon however. My only concern would be all that Niacin at once. Perhaps a staggered dosage would work better?

I could certainly see a benefit to using them both during the day, just not dosed at the same time.

A high dose of niacin is fine, you may get a tingly or flush sensation, bu nothing big. However you may use both supplements if you choose to, nothing wrong there.

I also would not dose it at the same time but do not see a problem running both.

You took the words right out of my mouth (or my finger tips as this case is)

Essentials is very complete, and Poseidon would be a great addition, just spaced throughout the day.

 

[andrew732]

spaced throughout the day is definitely the way to go, have fun

i think they both would work fine. Probably extend the life of poseidon cuz u might not need to take as much. I'd still concentrate some of my poseidon during my lift and Essentials with a couple meals IMO

Well to a certain extent obviously. I have a rather painful memory with Swell, and all the Niacin sinking to the bottom. http://anabolicminds.com/forum/nimbus-nutrition/107034-swell-shake-well.html

Good idea. Yeah Poseiden would definately last longer this way.

I concur. The products may share similar ingredients but differ in application.
