Extra Boosters
I'm excited, my shipment of protein and creatine came in the mail today [Interesting... WordPress or Firefox does not recognize creatine as a real word]. Bought them from Vitacost. I choose them for the price and low shipping.
I received a huge box filled with air bags and my two enormous jugs of supplements. The protein I chose cost $40.

I've had protein before, and I am very excited to try out this one after reading the reviews. The second container is "ProLab Creatine Monohydrate -- 1000 Grams." It cost $22 dollars. I have never in my life tried creatine before. I did a lot of research, and the Monohydrate type of creatine that has most research done with it. The only real side effects are bloating. I thought I should start with the most basic because I have never been on creatine before.
I haven't decided when I will start my creatine, I am thinking February 1st. The ingredients are listed as...

Those are the current supplements are my disposal. I will start using the 100% Whey Protein once I get to school and start using the Creatine Monohydrate on the start of February.
There are also supplements that are recommended for everyone, no matter if you are lifting are not. The reason for fish oil is that it gives me essential fatty acids that are important in health. They contain omega 3s and 6s that are good fats for your body.
A multi-vitamin is also highly recommended. It is sometimes hard to get all your vitamins and minerals for the day. Taking a multi-vitamin helps alot.
