Tie: Organic Coffee/Creatine

I’ve had phenomenal results having Charles Poliquin as one of my main guidelines for strength & conditioning/diet. My selection is largely based on his teachings, hence:5g Vitamin C a day, double the amount if doing multiple workouts, 30-45 g fish oil, 1-2g protein per lb of BW, etc.

Just curious, how did organic coffee make your list?

Caffeine for the creative and active mind! In one of Poliquin’s question of strength articles he said regular coffee is one of the most chemically laden things to consume, so he strongly recommends to go w/ organic coffee.

It most definitely does. Numerous D brands have been tested to contain less than the label claim.

I hit the EFAs heavy…3 CLA caps and 4 big fat EFA caps from the frige with every meal and shake…in between meals when I remember a handful of BCAAs or Polquins BCAAs that are heavier in Luecine…

Vitamin C I hit 2-4g a day, and once or twice a week a 50g IV along with B complex, B12, and other goodies…its a miracle worker for sure

Did you get the IV idea from Poliquin? Are you Poliquin Training Certified?
