Hi, just wanted a heads up on what supps I should avoid as a female. I don't compete or anything, just want to be strong and lean. So besides the obvious (test boosters) are there any supps I should avoid. A guy friend of mine says that women should NOT take creatine, but more often than not, its in a pre-workout mix I am taking. Any other input? Thanks guys!
Just let your guy friend know that creatine is already present in both males and females, prior to supplementation. Additional creatine intake has actually been proven to provide many ergogenic benefits.
As far as NO products go, if you want quality results, avoid the caffeine (unless that's your thaaang). Although so many companies include it in the formulation, caffeine has been shown to minimize NO production.
Any NO supplement that I am looking into, must include these ingredients, or I won't even consider it, as they are so crucial for increasing ATP activity (energy), and sustaining NO production.
(1) L-arginine/L-citrulline (works best as a blend)
(2) L-norvaline (dramatically increases NO production)
(3) Creatine (prefferably Creatine Ethyl Ester)
Right now I'm using Horsepower with great results. Out of all of the non-caffeinated NO supplements that I've tried.... this one has provided the most impressive results.
Good luck and keep us posted on what works.
