Today I met Andrew. You can see him in the photo collection. Dude is big and tall & has competed in bodybuilding before. He is very knowledgeable in supplements concerning bodybuilding. I also heard that he is a gamer but sadly I didn't engage in game discussion.
I asked about preworkout/postworkout supplements and obtained samples for someone. I am currently not taking anything due to fear of allergic reactions (& poverty lol) and because my BUN & uric acid levels will probably shoot up; but I can probably use some glutamine.
Mr. Andrew told me about:
-preworkout energy and/or performance: N-sane, Forzaone NOXP3 & Forzaone's BCAA Sport, Katalyst's Vasocor
-post workout: Katalyst's Glutacor (L-glutamine) & protein powder
I was told N-sane has 300mg of caffeine. NOXP3 has 100mg. For reference, a cup (8oz) of coffee, depending on brew/instantized, may have 70-140mg give/take 20mg. If you have sleeping problems, it is advised to not take so much or at all depending on the severity of your problem. Same goes if you workout in the evening/night. Vasocor- not sure how much caffeine. These have some combination of amino acids as well. I think these cause vasodilation of blood vessels=increased blood flow=more exchange of nutrients/wastes to muscles and organs.
Andrew told me that glutacor should be taken postworkout, dumped in with protein powder and before sleeping. Glutamine is an amino acid, with functions of protein synthesis, cellular energy, nitrogen/carbon donation. It may increase human growth hormone (HGH) levels.
Some other products that I remember from store: ON standard whey isolate, available in 5 & 10lbs, ON serious mass, ON pro-complex, Dymatize Elite whey isolate (in 5lbs?), Cytosport Musclemilk, Isopure (protein powder?), ABB speedstack drinks, Hemovex, some Forzaone protein powder. Don't really know about half of these products in depth. I did not look at pill supplements. There are more products than the ones listed. I don't think they carry BSN and Gaspari Nutrition.
Not sure on the availability of casein products in there. I didn't ask nor did I notice any.
If you're into bodybuilding or have any questions regarding it, then you might want to talk to Andrew.
I got samples of vasocor, NOXP3, & BCAA sport from Ronnie! :) They were straight from the bottles and not prepackaged. Sometimes I think manufacturers make their samples extra better to lure you in; although I have not researched on this. read more
