My view (not as a weight building chap though!) is by far the best thing to do is eat well.... pretty much the only consistent view of scientists over the years has been that it is good to eat a healthy diet with lots of fresh fruit and veg, lean meat and fish. Actually the seasonal dish might be especially good. Turkey is remarkbly high in Carnosine, a "natural" substance well absorbed and at one time a hot topic in anit-oxifdant type ideas for preserving good brain and muscle function. For sure turkey breast meat is an especially good protein source, lean and full of all the stuff you could pay more for by buying tablets and "health" drinks.

Sorry, I have not. (I am familiar with GNC, as I have relatives there)

I tried quite a with no results. Before the onset of my first symptoms I was going to the gym 7 days a week. I average weight since high school has been between 115 to 120. At that point of going to the gym and eating healthy I got up to 135 but once the symptoms set in and I started to become very ill as well as experiencing neuropathic pain I stopped going the gym as often and lost a lot of weight getting down to 99 pounds. I am happy to say that I am back up to my average of 120lbs.
