Take your protein as needed to make your protein requirements. This is essential. You don't have to take a supplement, but if you have trouble eating enough protein, then by all means have a shake(have as part of a meal, not by itself unless it is a blend). No dextrose or malto though, you will want no blood sugar rises. I would continue to take creatine also, once per day only, unless you have been taking it for quite some time. Then this may be a good time to cycle off of it. Always take your multi vitamins. Glutamine you may not need, unless you are on a calorie restricted diet.
