Protein is of course essential for obvious reasons, and glutamine, even though not an essential amino acid, is a conditionally essential amino acid. In other words, if the pool is low, the body only has one place to get glutamine, and that will be robbing muscle for it. Creatine on the other hand is simply a strength and performance aid. Most proteins if they do have glutamine do not have near enough. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

Unless you are taking steroids, I would consult a dermatologist for a concern like that. Supplements will not give you acne...a sudden increase in testosterone levels can which means its temporary...have you had acne for a long time? -------------- I can beat Mario Brothers without losing a life.

I can usually keep it under control with a face cleanser but Proactive works the best. I just don't want to have to deal with any more acne if I don't have to. I can't really help the breakouts caused by supplements or other foods so in this case I just don't know what to do cuz not everything affects me in the same way. Thanx for any help here its a struggle sometime.

It sounds like you are already predisposed to breaking out. -------------- I can beat Mario Brothers without losing a life. Jdelts@freetrainers.com
