Wise decision Karl . . . you´ve definately got alot more to gain naturally first. Try and get 6 meals in with at least 40g protein each (one of these can be your post workout shake), plus perhaps try some Kre-alkalyn from Extreme Nutrition, pretty good for a boost whilst in the gym, plus good value for money with m´chat discount.
have a look around that site in the link . . . plenty of info in the supplements section on ph´s. Dont compare to the real thing though imo.
