Workout supplements ???

Eating enough protein will be enough for you, aim for at least 1 g per lb of body weight per day. The only other supplement I ever found to be at all effective was creatine, but it can cause diarrhea even in "healthy" people so I wouldn't recommend it for a poucher.

everyone says whey protein but just read this,

Digestive issues

Some people experience severe digestive issues following consumption of whey protein powder.[27] These may include gas, bloating, cramps, tiredness, weakness, fatigue, headaches, and irritability. One of the possible causes is lactose intolerance after they ingest whey concentrate.[28] Undigested protein in the colon will undergo bacterial fermentation which leads to the production of, among other things, gas and fatty acids.[29

High quality whey is lactose free. Also, you don't have a colon... In any case, I wasn't suggesting that you get your protein intake from protein powder, you can easily satisfy your daily protein needs with chicken, eggs, seafood, lean beef and pork, and high protein dairy like cottage cheese and greek yogurt.

I take glutamine which is also good for GI tract! Before workout and immediately after.

Eat protein. Spurilina is the highest natural protein the body can absorb. A Paleo diet is what most athletes eat these days. Gets in the fats and correct protein. Also helps with fatigue and your work out performance and metabolism.



Dairy in general is not good for you. There is a brand that makes grass fed Goat whey that could be an option to try. Just make sure what you are getting is 100% natural otherwise it is just poison to that pouch and Whey is a GMO food fyi.

As others have said, protein is a must, but I've found that the vast majority of protein bars and shakes have whey in them (fast-digesting milk protein), which runs right through me and jacks my bathroom trips way up.

Casein protein is a slow-digesting milk protein and gets along with "J" just fine, but it won't be as effective for pre/post workout supplementation - best for morning (to last through the day) or before bed to give your body tools for repair and recovery during sleep.

I have had no problem with creatine, BCAA's, glutamine (great for both GI and muscle growth) or CLA, all of which I take both before and after workouts to help with energy and muscle regeneration.

Good luck!
