actually that was just because protein didn't format in a bullet like the others lol

i am a zero response to creatine, but it has cognitive benefits so i take it usually 3 months on and 3 months off

for glutamine, i used to take it , but generally, i don't have issues with recovery.

casein, back in my bulking days i did actually take casein before bed lol

magnesium is mostly to help relax nervous system and muscles, good for heart health (when my wife takes it, it calms her down and she falls asleep lol). you wont get the shits on a normal dose, but if you do, then you know the dose is too high

i don't take stims because they don't work on me, i used to have an online supplement store and tried all kinds of pre-workouts and none of them did anything. i don't know what it is, but nothing gives me any kind of buzz

as for general goals, mostly optimal health and longevity, stay alive to stack sats and not die to lose all the sats lol
