Out of curiosity (sorry if spelt it wrong, the g/f spelt it for me) How much suppliment is Too much?

The boy i train with takes on training days, creatine before work out, glutamine 1 servin breakfast 1 straight after workout, 1 L-argine before workout , x cut, multivitamins, milk thisle tablets 2 tablets 3 times a day and protein about 3 servings daily. I thought when he told me, jesus do you rattle when you run? Is this to much do you think?

How long is too long?
How far is too far?
How high is too high?

Its all relative but in this scenario its about your diet, health, sporting performance and underlying medical conditions as to what and how much you take.

So for some (like me) i dont bother with any 99% of the time but for others it helps

Why do you take the following?

creatine
glutamine
1 L-argine
x cut
multivitamins
milk thisle tablets

why each one specifically?

No those are fine doses why take milk thistle though it does actually inhibit protein synthesis.

not to sure mate, he said he was advised to take these, i was a little worried about him taking to many and not realising it, he's only 18 and he a bit nieve and he's complaining that his kidney is aching, he dont drink much water, could this me a sign of that? he's not drinking enough to flush himself out?

I don't see that as an excessive amount of supplements but if you are taking a supplement for every supposed thing then maybe that's too much...get your diet nailed and there is only a limited requirement for supplements then.
