question

[Jbloom22]

what are your opinions on my current supplement stack?
creatine mono 10g daily (5g upon waking and second dose of 5g one hour prior to workout)
beta-alanine 4.8 grams daily ( split into 3 equal doses of 1.6 grams daily)
glucosamine & chondroitin 2 separate doses daily
multivitamin daily
fish oils 3 separate doses daily

should anything be added to this?
and is the creatine mono too high of a dose and am i pissing most of it out?
thanks

Most people would say 10g a day of creatine mono isn't necessary. So maybe just lower it a bit. Keep drinking plenty of water.

Everything else looks ok though. No need to add anymore.....

You could add a protein powder if you're not getting enough through food or if you find it more convinient to hit your needs.  Other wise looks good. 

This is always optional but you could do one of the countless preworkout supps (NO Xplode, SuperPump 250, Jack3d, ect.) to get your creatine and beta alanine along with a good boost from the caffeine.  Jack3d by USP labs, you can feel your finger tips tingling from the beta alanine.

my bad i didnt mention the protein powder. but i do occasionally take some whey post-workout when i am not having a meal immediately after. I try to get everything from food. and I feel all of the pre workouts supplements are unnecessary.  They contain too much sugar and not enough active ingredients. I prefer to go with bulk powders such as the mono and beta alanine. Thank you though

I agree about many of the “hype” pre-workout products.
However, two things I’ve added to my regimen that have given me noticeable results are BCAA’s and waxy maize.

I mix about 7 g of BCAA powder into about 70 g or wm and consume throughout my workout.
On days that I train early morning, I also drink an additional 5 g of BCAA’s 30 min. pre-workout.

Oh, and caffeine – usually in the form of very strong coffee - I’ve found to be beneficial for energy and mental focus.

Everything else on your list looks good to me.
Looks like you've done some homework.

Once your muscles are saturated with creatine, there's no need to go over 5g/day
Also, there's no need to go over 1500/1200 on the glucosamine/chondroitin.

i stay under the 1500/1200 for the joint supplement so i am alright with that. and as far as the creatine i feel a little extra may not hurt so i may continue to take that little extra just in case as i will just excrete the extra.  the bcaa and waxy maize may be beneficial but i prefer to just eat before my workouts and i feel like i get a similar effect
