Well, it is supposedly good for anti-catabolism so if you are dieting then take it then. Or first thing in the morning would be ok too (resting fast)
and maybe after your workout.
Or if you are skipping meals you can add this here.

as a rule of thumb in the off season i take 40g per day

I would say first thing in the morning on an empty stomach and then again after training.

About 2 teaspoons full. But it totally is up to you!

Lauren is that 2 teaspoons per serving or per day? im currently doing 1 teaspoon per day is that enough?

Kel · 24-05-2005, 04:08 PM

That would be enough to sustain muscle

I'd build up the dosages, aparnetly u can take up to 40 gramms per day but take that straight off and your body does not like it, believe me

Well I generally take 1 teaspoon full in the morning, then another teaspoon full before I go to bed.

If your getting on ok with 1 teaspoon a day then leave it as that.
