Your supplements info and requirements info wanted

[grantsmith1985]

Well basically my Uncle is looking at buying large amounts of supplements from america and setting up a little business.
He is doing a little research and wants to know what suplements people like, want etc.
He has already picked my brothers and myselfs brains. He just basically wants to do some market research.
So I just need to know from you guys a few things.

1)What suplements do you take
2)Which ones do you find work best
3)Which ones do you recommend
4)How do you prefer taken them, ie powder, shakes, tabs etc
5)How much do you pay for each supplement
6)What size you buy, ie carton size or amounts of tabs
7)What other supplements you want to try
8)Where do you normally buy them from
9)Basically any and all the information about what you have/want/like/do etc

Like I said just for research for him. He is/has gone on loads of bodybuilding forums to ask. I just thought I would ask the people on here.
There is only so much info my brother and I can give him, lol.


Thanks a lot,
rep will be rewarded for info :y:

Protein Ice™ infuses the highest quality ultra-filtered pure whey protein isolate with today’s award winning gourmet flavors. Protein Ice™ contains an astonishing 13g of glutamine and 8g of branched chain amino acids. Protein is one of the basic building blocks of a healthy life and with the exclusion of carbohydrates, Protein Ice™ is the optimal foundation for all high protein, low carb diets.

1) Whey protien, multi vitamin+iron, omega 3 fish oil
2) Have not experimented much to be honest
3) See question 2
4) I prefer protien in a shake with a couple of bananas and maybe peanut butter
5) Whey protien was costing me £22 a tub but i was getting BOGOF offer on that, fish oil £1.49 for 30 caps, multi + iron 99p for 80 tabs.
6) Id prefer the biggest tub of protein to save going back and forth buying more every week or what not
7) None, whey protien is enough for me
8) holland and barrats But i am on the lookout for better protein/variety of protein now
9) Not sure if you mean in general lifting or what? well... for whey protien i want one that doesnt make you vomit and gets the job done, a nice tasting one would be a bonus. As for gym/lifting, i want to add more size then get more ripped.

Hope that helps!

krovean do you get that whey from http://www.tropicanahealthandfitness.com/ ? recently heard about that site and its not tooo far from me so might check it out.

[Mitchell]

yep! Very good people, quick delivery aswell.

dunno if its just a mail order thing or if its a shop you can buy from. not sure.

they have a big sale on so now would be a good time to try.

[Leo]

Yeh they have a unit in sutton coldfield. the gym i go to orders from them i think

[grantsmith1985]

nice one lads, exactly the type of thing he is after, I do agree though the 100% Whey Protein is awsome.

[mickh]

Not that you need supplements.but if you did holland and barrett have always got half price sale on.

i used to use dorians yates range- creatine, which was powder form, tabs dont digest properly compared to powder. his glutermine, pro recovery and his weight gain which you felt like you were having a meal when you had it
i used maximuscle protein and prolab branch aminos(tablets) as the amounts in them were massive compared to similar products
vit and min took a sports multi from gnc

all of the above tasted nice and worked well

[stevenet15]

Thanks guys for the info, any more would be great.
Who takes the Creatine tablets as they are the first things that are coming to him,
He basically wants to know what size tablets you take and how powerfull they are. how many you buy and how much you pay.
Thanks
And oh sorry for taking so long, I have just rep'd

I tried the creatine powder before, and have also has come of the creatine caps. I think creatines a waste of time personally. Saying that, some people do really well with it. I much prefered the capsules as they are easy to eat and dont need to mess about shaking up a drink, but i hear the poweder form is better. pros and cons i surpose.
