As a natural bodybuilder and sports enthusiast I’ve often wondered about this "million dollar" question. I often answer this question with a definite, "No"; however supplements and sports nutrition is rapidly advancing. As far as Creatine, I’m not buying it because it’s not true muscle; Meaning it’s not your muscle all you are doing is inflating your muscles with water and when you want to "lean" out for a contest or something you must "abstain" from the creatine to get a granite look; Thus what’s the point? Anway, is there something out there that works like anabolics?
Before working out I like to take Arginine(essential amino acid)but you need about 2 grams(pill form) and a whey protein drink.At night to release more growth hormone(diminishes over age)2-3 grams Trytophan and 2-3 grams Arginine.Double check with pharmacist if on other medications.Growth hormone will help burn body fat and build muscle tissue while you sleep.

Pharmacist interview?? Can anyone answer a few questions for a school proj? Thank you!!?
1. What is your opinion on nutritional and herbal supplements?
2. What are a few of the issues with these supplements?
3. What do you think is the nurse’s role in med admin and teaching?
4. How do you think we can reduce med errors in ambulatory and inpatient settings?
1) No supplement should be used without consulting your family doctor about interactions with your prescribed medication.
2) People tend to abuse supplements thinking more is better. Sometimes they use supplements that off-set each other or cause a drastic PH change in your body.
3) Nurses should only administer medication that the doctor has prescribed or authorized. As far as teacher go, they are wonderful teachers (most of them), but should never be teaching content that is out of their scope of practice.
4) Go paperless. The paper shuffle is where most of the errors occur.
