Green MAG and Upset Stomach...................

[rchapman]

Been using GM for the past 3-4 workouts. I drink it immediately after wo and about 20-30 min later i get a case of the runs! I know that isnt attractive sounding, but it's the truth. anyone else have this problem? if so, is there something I can do other than quit using it. I'm thinking it's the magnesium creatine chelate doing it.

Try with ricecake/granola.
That doesn't work, try 1/3 pre, 1/3 intra, 1/3 post.

Are you saying mixing it with GFH - Golden Finish? I would take my GM pre-workout and GFH post-workout for better results. Since the GM has been giving you the runs try lowering the dosage and see how it works - rather than using 1 scoop use half.

Or if you want to mix it with the GFH take 1/2 scoop of GM pre-workout and another 1/2 scoop of GM post-workout with the GFH. Try it out and see how it works.

It didn't give me the runs but it did upset my stomache if I took too much. Now I do half a scoop pre and half after and haven't had any problems. Like everyone one else said, try taking less.

i use wf pre workout, i'll try mixing half with that then half with my gf post workout and see how it goes. actually gonna give it a go here shortly!

You should use WF purely pre-workout IMO.

so try the gm with my gf after workout? u think the gm would somehow deminish the effects of the wf?

Misread your post.

I thought you said you were splitting WF pre/post. What you said is fine.

i currently am trying to figure mine out too.. i have WF and GM.. the WF kicks in fairly quickly for me, i start feeling the beta-alanine and energy after about 15-20 min, so i think I'm going to have to take my GM first 45 pre as people have said, and then wait about 10 min before taking WF.. is that ok or would consuming the GM kind of ruin the "don't eat for 2 hours before WF" requirement?

[rchapman]

I workout in the morning, so I eat breakfast then take my WF about 30-45min after then go to the gym and I feel the WF about 10min after taking it. I'm now mixing my GM with my GF post workout and it works really well.

in terms of upset stomach, i must be missing something. i have been playing around with my dosages for over a year, and i can never duplicate results........... i have been able to pinpoint the WF is what is causing stomach issues for me. but ive taken it on a completely empty stomach, slightly empty stomach, and a full stomach. random results each time. sometimes it my stomach kills for like 5-10 mins but goes away. sometimes i dont get it at all. ive also messed with timing of the day, and that doesnt have much of an effect.


when i comes down to everything, id much rather take it on an empty stomach because the effects are always more pronounced. i have learned to deal with the discomfort (if it occurs) for a few mins and continue to have a kick ass workout

the only product to come close to the GM/WF stack is vasocharge - but IMO it doesnt have the overal kick of WF
