Glutamine or Sheep Placenta?
Every time I buy creatine from anywhere they want to sell me glutamine too. Should I buy it? Yes. Also, order some Branch Chain Amino Acids or BCAAs. I like to mix the 5 grams of creatine, 5 grams of glutamine and 10 grams of BCAAs in my pre and post workout shake...
Why is he so fast?

Healthy Baby Code
The Healthy Baby Code is a program designed to promote fertility in couples wanting to conceive and aids in pregnancy nutrition. Since we are fortunate enough to follow many of the nutritional guidelines that Chris recommends, my focus has been on the nutritional recommendations for newborns. Those first months of life will set the tone for lifelong intelligence and health, and his guidance has been invaluable to my family...
