bump?

I have a short beard (trim it at level 2.5) that bother's my girlfriend when we kiss. I was going to try to grow it a bit longer to help manage the issue, but I also heard that there are some conditioner's that may soften my beard. Does anyone have a suggestion of a conditioner or oil that would be safe to use without (hopefully) breaking me out? Or any other helpful ideas for those who have had this issue? I was looking at this earlier: Botanical Skin Works Bay Lime Beard Conditioning Oil

The one I found (and have been taking) in the house is Great Value and doesn't have 'the mother' in it. Is Braggs available (or another brand with 'the mother' at a local grocery store or Wal-Mart/K-Mart?

i used to eat a lot of this and it didn't seem to make me break out. Peanut Power Butter

How long before you started to see results? I found this in the kitchen, Great Value brand.

I've tried lowering the amount of whey (used to do 4 scoops/day, now 2.5), and I've cut out the peanut butter. How long should I give it? 2 weeks to a month? Damn winter, seems to have triggered it.

Yea maybe I'll look into a 100% Egg Protein

So do you think pill form is okay too? It's inexpensive. http://www.nutritiongeeks.com/details2.asp?Prod=apple-cider-vinegar-450mg-180&Prodgp=apple-cider-vinegar-450mg&utm_source=froogle&utm_medium=cpc&utm_term=8970

Yea I'd rather cut one out at a time not both, I'll start with the peanut butter since I still have a full tub of protein.

any suggestions on another protein powder that I could use? I'm a lifter so It's tough getting enough protein per day without it.

I'm trying to narrow down what could be causing my acne to flare up. My diet seem okay other than these two, I try to cut out all dairy (only drink Almond Milk) I've been eating a lot of Skippy Natural Peanut Butter and currently use VPX Syngex Protein. I'm sure it is probably both, but do you see any red flags? and are either okay in moderation? Any recommendations?

You got me thinking now, should I stop taking the current Cassein product im using?

I've just started taking the Casein, haven't had any more issues than usual, but it's early yet so we'll see

I will look into that. AllMax also sells a Beta-Alanine product, may include it in my order

Alright man take it easy, ITS THE 2ND BEST OUT THERE is what i meant, and I'll just stick with that brand for the creatine as well. Hopefully I see some improvements with these changes

Yea that looks like a good Isolate. What about a Pure Creatine product (Creapure)? I'm looking at these 3 currently 1.) Optimum Micronized Creatine Powder 2.) AllMax Nutrition Micronized Creatine Monohydrate 3.) Prolab Creatine Monohydrate

Can anyone recommend a good Whey Isolate or Creatine Powder. I was looking at Dymatize ISO-100 Link or AllMax Nutrition IsoFlex for Isolate Link and Optimum Micronized Creatine Powder Link

yea myofusion has both concentrate and isolate in it, not sure of the ratio though. I'll prob switch to a pure Isolate now. I think i'll taking this month of for the NO, get a Isolate protein and a unflavored pure creatine (which are really cheap)

Thanks for the replies. Any advice on an alternative to give me energy in the morning before workouts?

Yea Venom should drop eventually, doesn't look like anytime soon though. Okay, I can see creatine being a problem. The only reason I take Nitric Oxide is due to the fact that I lift in the mornings, and it gives me the energy to go.

I've had mild/moderate acne since 8th grade. I am also very into working out. Although I've never experience one of these supplements really breaking me out, I was going to stop using them for all of October. The only problem with that is I wouldn't know which one was the culprit, or maybe they all are? Plus I love working out and it would be hard to stop cold turkey. Casein protein was a late edition to my supp stack, and I have been having issues before using it, but here's what I'm takin

Thanks for the reply... I do take a One A Day Men's Health Formula Multivitamin And I used blade razors in the past, switching to electric after having constant issues, i think electric is the way to go for me, atleast for now... And i'll look into the cleanser

H A L O mentions salads w/o ranch, I know ranch dressing is not good for you, but can it alone affect acne??

Thanks for the advice, That's a good idea though, I'm going to get a gel cleanser, I started the regime back in 05

We'll as you can see from my sig, heres my regime... Morning: Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar, Dan's 2.5% BP, Cetaphil Moisturizing Lotion Night: Purpose Gentle Cleansing Bar, Dan's 2.5% BP, Dan's AHA+ Shave: Electric shaver: Braun FreeControl 1775 And heres my Diet: Liquids - Try to cut out caffeine. All i drink is Water (prob only 3 bottles/day), Gatorade, Liptons Green Tea (the cold kind) Dole fruit drinks and "Naked drinks" (containing all real fruit) I'm in college, and drink (once a we
