Good advice given by Steel UK. Here's my take...
1. Gains? Yes. Substantial gains? No. That's the domain of AAS. Taking both is not necessary, but both are good. They are completely different things.
2. Protein is the most effective nutrient. Notice I said nutrient and not supplement. As I am typing this, I am sitting here eating chicken breast. That's protein. I do take protein powder supplements, but most of your nutrients should come from GOOD FOOD.
3. Both are safe when taken as directed on the label.
4. Never heard of the gallstone thing. Urban legend.
5. I take creatine mono (not now because I'm leaning out for a show), whey and casein protein, glutamine, BCAAs, EFAs, multivitamins, DHEA and DIM (precontest stuff) and lots of H2O!
