If you perform any type of serious workout you should consider taking a glutamine supplement. In addition, if you are going through any type of stressful event or just trying to fight off the cold or flu - glutamine can be very helpful. If you are on any medications or have a medical condition, you should always consult with your Doctor before taking any dietary supplement.

The body is able to make non-essential amino acids from other amino acids in the body. However, the body is not able to make essential amino acids and the only way to get them is by eating high quality protein foods. Protein sources that contain all of the essential amino acids are called complete proteins. Whey protein is a naturally complete protein.

Glutamine is a precursor Gamma-Aminobutyric Acid (GABA). Gaba is a Neurotransmitter in the central nervous system and tells the brain to release more growth hormone and testosterone. Gowth Hormone is scientifically proven to enhance lean muscle growth, along with proving itself as the most effective Fat Burning tool your body could ever use.

Yes. We recommend taking a combination of glutamine, creatine and whey protein. These three supplements really work well together to increase muscle mass and speed recovery time.

I haven't cut supplements out totally, although IMO a lot of people tend to over-supplement.

My first preference when looking to a certain vitamin/mineral will always be to provide it in its natural form first.

Raw food contains the enzymes needed to digest it. However, most of us don’t live on a raw food diet. When we cook our food, the enzymes in the food are destroyed and our body has to make them in order to digest our food. This puts stress on our system especially since people eat more processed foods and meals higher in calories and fat. Digestive enzyme supplements help you digest your meals more efficiently and deliver the nutrients from your food to your body.

Synthovial 7 is easily tolerated with or without food. We recommend taking Synthovial 7? first thing in the morning (this is a good way of getting in the habit of taking it everyday).

It is very important to provide your dog with adequate amounts of calcium when preparing homemade meals. Prepared meals do not supply enough calcium since skeletal bones are not typically added. In the wild, dogs ate the bones of prey animals which supplied them with a natural source of calcium. Pet food manufactures are required to add calcium and other vital mineral and vitamins to their products to avoid deficiencies.

You may. It's possible to not get enough vitamins from three small meals a day. At your regular check-ups, your surgeon will evaluate whether you are getting enough vitamin B12, folic acid, and iron. Your surgeon may advise you to take supplements.
