L-Glutamine is the most abundant "free" amino acid in the body. It is found in higher concentration than other amino acids in vital tissues including skeletal and smooth muscle. In muscle, the concentration of free glutamine appears to influence whether muscle will be broken down (catabolism-low glutamine content) or built up (anabolism-high glutamine content). Glutamine is known as a nitrogen shuttle, a substance that picks up and drops off nitrogen around the body. Nitrogen is an essential component of DNA, the genetic material of life and muscle building. It's a must for you who want to get big !!!

DHEA is the most plentiful androgenic hormone produced by the adrenal glands and it is quite important to body builders and athletes because in men, around 50% of all testosterone is derived from it, while women derive over 75% of their estrogen from it and nearly 100% after menopause. You can get your DHEA checked through a simple blood test. If you are low, take it, it's cheep and if you are over 40, you will probably need it.

Becoming deficient in just one of these essential vitamins or minerals breaks down the metabolic pathway that produces optimum efficiency and performance declines. Not good! Daily consumption of a high-potency multivitamin/multimineral formula may help ensure the presence of essential cofactors necessary for thousands of metabolic reactions. Unless directed by your doctor, THIS IS A MUST

B-vitamins have many anabolic properties. B-Vitamin blends are known to support the health of the skin, hair, eyes, mouth, and liver.

A premium fish oil naturally supplies the Omega-3 fatty acids EPA and DHA.

Saw palmetto berries comprise of a volatile oil, which contains a variety of fatty acids, and is high in phytosterols. These ingredients not only control the conversion of testosterone to DHT but also block its binding to the prostate cells.

Saw palmetto, thus, is one of Nature's best and safest remedies to promote male prostate health, and increased vigor and vitality.

ALA is an antioxidant. What makes ALA special as an antioxidant is its versatility; it helps deactivate an unusually wide array of cell-damaging free radicals in many bodily systems. As a bodybuilder, the stress of lifting causes a lot of free radical damage. ALA is very cheap, I love this one.
