Wouldn't skipping a pre-bed meal make you cataboic? What about a meal in the middle of the night?

I have read the FAQ on HMB but can't work out how it builds muscle. Could someone please tell me how it works?

I have some Musashi Creatine. It says I only have to take a leveled teaspoon to get 5g of creatine and it costs $32.65 over here in Australia. It is not flavoured and is a powder. It also says 'Pure Pharmaceutical Grade HPLC tested on site' on the container, yet I have failed to notice any...

Should I use CLA while bulking or just save my money?

How much water should I drink? 1ml per cal, 1L per 60-100g carbs? I have conflicting amounts of informatioin for this question.

How do Vit C, E, CoQ10, and selenium each promote hypertrophy and what are realistic amounts to take keeping in mind I'm not a pro BB?

How do I take creatine with two a day workouts? Half the usual amount at every workout?

Should I take any vit C in tablet form?

Instead of counting calories needed for hypertrophy could a good body fat % to be aimed for be recommended?

I was taking 1 iron tablet a day (5mg elemental iron among other things to help digest it). Now I have found a tablet that is 21 times stronger (105mg iron). Would taking large amounts or vit/min in such a convenient form as a single tablet be good for hypertrophy or just potentially dangerous?

So I don't need additional vit/min in pill form in order to grow? What about vit C for example? When I took 1g of vit C in addition to what I get from my diet, I recovered quicker.

Does HST recomend certain amounts of micronutrients intake for optimal growth and injury prevention? If so, what are the figures for these micronutrients?
