Following are some ideas for bulk powder mixtures to get you started. Ingredients can be added in, taken out, and so on to meet individual goals.
Creatine mix
Now Creatine Powder, 500 g (1/2 container)
Now Dextrose, 2 lbs.
Taurine Powder, 150 g
Alpha Lipoic Acid, 1-2 capsules (taken separately)
This offers 100 servings of 5 g creatine, about 10 g dextrose, 1.5 g taurine, and 300 mg ALA – only the best ingredients, and at about half the price per serving as most "creatine replacement" products. Each serving should be approximately 5 teaspoons.
Pre-workout mix
Now Calcium Citrate, 8 oz
Now Tyrosine Powder, 4 oz
Acetyl-L-carnitine, 75 g
Caffeine, 1 tablet (taken separately)
This is enough for 50 workouts, and costs about $30. Each serving (a heaping tablespoon) provides 4.5 g calcium citrate, 2.25 g l-tyrosine, and 1.5 g l-carnitine, with the option of additional caffeine (I recommend using tablets for the sake of convenience, as caffeine is so inexpensive to begin with). This blend can also be taken at other times during the day as a mild stimulant. Be aware that this has a strong taste, so I recommend mixing it with sugar free Kool-Aid or something similar to help hide the taste.
Vitamin/mineral mix
Now Vitamin C, 8 oz
Now B-50 powder, 4 oz
Now Cal Mag Citrate, 16 oz (two containers)
Now Potassium Gluconate, 340 g (1/4 container)
In addition to a good multivitamin, this will give you about all the supplemental vitamins and minerals you need (unless you are megadosing one for a specific health reason), all in bioavailable forms. Four teaspoons contains approximately 2 g vitamin C, 400 mg each of calcium and magnesium, 500 mg potassium, and a large amount of B vitamins (one and a half servings of B-50). Each mix contains about 100 servings.
