Advice needed regarding supplements

Hi there,

I'm not posting this about me, it's regarding my boyfriend. I wanted to ask you all if taking a lot of different supplements could affect your mood? Lately, he's been flying off the handle alot and it's very difficult to talk to him without him biting my head off. I know he doesn't take steroids or anything like that. Any advice would be great.

Thanks in advance

Hi


Why dont you just ask him

and yes it may affect your mood - but so can tiredness or lack of food or many others

Thanks for your reply. I have asked him but he's really touchy about it and doesn't really tell me anything. I was just worried cause he takes alot of different stuff and was wondering if he was taking too much at once? Sorry for my ignorance, I don't know alot about supplements etc.

Thanks for your reply x

See if you can find out what he takes, sneak into the cupboard and write down the names of the products and we will soon tell you :)

Thank you for your reply. I looked in his cupboard and these are the ones he has:

San Fierce

Met -rx Creatine

Is he angry everyday or just on days hes works out?

You see the 2 supplements ive highlighted above could be the problem or 1 of them, both of these are taken on days hes works out you see, if hes angry after a workout i can see how this could be, seems he may have a light fuse anyway by the sounds of it.

He's usually quite placid which is the reason I'm worried. He takes these supplements everyday, i'm pretty sure he takes them even when he hasn't been to the gym. He went to the gym today and he was quite snappy this evening before he went off to work.

Thanks for getting back to me. Like I said before I have absolutely no idea about supplements etc.

What do you mean by placid tash?

Yeah he prob does take supplements everyday but i dont think he takes all them everyday as the two that may be making him angry are only meant to be taken on workout days. Steriods can make a person moody you sure hes not using them, if he doesnt want you to know about it they will be well hidden.

Maybe hes just a moody person? 

or maybe you're just really annoying Tash.




kidding, kidding...

Whats his diet like? Is he carb depleted atm?

lol yeah he does tell me that alot!

He doesn't get angry often, that's what I meant by placid and i'm pretty sure he doesn't have the money to buy steroids. I'm probably just worrying over nothing. Just thought i'd ask people who take supplements if they could have an effect on his mood as I don't have a clue. He's constantly trying to get me involved in his bodybuilding and I do try to take an interest. Went along to the bnbf qualifier on sunday with him which I actually quite enjoyed lol!

Anyway, I wont take up anymore of your time. Thanks so much for your help and advice. Very much appreciated

Ooh he doesn't stop eating. I make most of his meals for him, mostly consisting of chicken, eggs and jacket potatoes

Lots of protein then :)

Steriods are cheaper than you think.

See I didn't know that. What are the signs of steroid use?

signs are what u would expect, mood changes, aggressive, snappy, argumentative ...

^ yeah that would be correct.

Detectives

I know your trying to be helpful but this is a domestic and not something that should be aired on here IMO.Tash or whatever your name is, this is what you need to know

Relationships are built on trust
Guys need there space -
We dont like being moaned at


And rather than do all this sneaking around - just come out and ask him


Next point is how do you know of this site?

Does he use it?

And finally if you know the guy gets vexxed on wrk out days cut him some slack

i think you should just bring the subject up, it could be a number of things diet,supplements overtraining. is he doing loads of cardio aswell. maybe he is really tired from all his training and work. if you went to the bnbf that is a natural show so the bodybuilders dont use steroids so if he is intrested in those comps i wouldnt think he would be using but could be wrong,  i just done some comps myself and it was hard work dieting made me very snappy the girlfriend said. feel more relaxed now being able to eat what i want. sometimes i get frusted if i have a bad session at the gym maybe hes training so hard but not getting the results he wants that could be stressing him.or could be lack of sleep, keep supporting him i,m sure it will come of nothing.
