Q: Do I need to stop taking supplements after taking it for a few months? And then resume after a month or so? Any side effects?
Francis
A: Dear Francis,
This is one of my favorite supplements available on the market today and can be taking for extended periods without building up a tolerance.
Here’s the scoop:
I am a longevity researcher as a hobby. I am 42 and want to stay looking and feeling young for as long as I can. I also don’t have $1,000 a month to spend on human growth hormone replacement, so I need the next best thing.
Here is my daily GH and muscle stimulating routine:
8:00 AM – I take 1 scoop of our whey protein isolate powder, in a shake, first thing in the morning (I also add 1 tblsp of flax and wheat germ oil). Then I work out for 45 min to an hour (very important!!!!).
10:00 AM – I take a couple of Branch Chain Amino Acid (BCAA) caps (can be found at any health food store). This keeps a positive nitrogen balance in the blood, mandatory for protein synthesis, lean muscle development.
1:00 PM lunch with 2 more BCAA’s
5:00 or 6:00 PM – I eat a nice protein and vegetable dinner with no starchy carbohydrates. No BCAA’s.
10:00 or 10:30 PM – 1/2 hr. before bed I do push-ups and sit-ups (very important!!!!) and take 1 tablespoon of Hydrolyzed Marine Grade Collagen with water (is stimulated by sleep, fasting and exercise and requires the ingredients in Hydrolyzed Marine Grade Collagen).
That’s it.
Sincerely,
Marcus Ettinger DC, BSc.
