Biotest Surge

Started: Feb 01, 2007

Reason: I have just recently become aware of the importance of nutrient timing. Surge is an outstanding pre-peri-post workout drink that highly aids in sustaining workout energy, nutrition absorbtion/protein synthesis/glycogen replenishment and overall enhanced recovery.

Reason: EFA's or essential fatty acids are extremely important for any serious athelete. They reduce the inflamation associated with greuling workouts. They aid recovery, help burn fat, and promote overall health. A must take supplement in my opinion. Check out the details on testosteronenation.com

Reason: I stopped taking creatine monohydrate because recent blood tests indicated that my kidney and liver function numbers were elevated.

My Dr. suggested that it may be the creatine and it's tendency to break down into a by product called Creatinine which is a toxic waste that is produced when regular creatine hits liquid. Creatinine's toxicity is such that your kidneys work overtime to protect you from damage. This stress is why people get gut-rot, diarrhea, nausea and bloating.

So I heard about something called Kre-Alkalyn which is a buffered form of creatine and doesn't degrade. I saw that this Horsepower mix contained it and the price was excellent so I decided to give it a try. I'm not sure if it's the Horse Power but I have noticed an improvement in my workouts.
