Everything you Should Know about Bodybuilding Supplements

By William Frank


The bodybuilding supplements market is a very rich industry which invests millions of dollars in aggressive advertising campaigns each year. The truth is that some of these supplements can be really beneficial however not as beneficial as a balanced diet plan and proper training.

Essentially you have minerals and vitamins that help your cells along in various processes, then you have supplements that boost your protein building ability, supplements that help you burn fat and natural testosterone boosters.

Taking a daily multivitamin complex can be helpful for all sorts of reasons and bodybuilders occasionally reject the vitamins thinking that they will not actually be useful, on the contrary, Vitamin A is necessary for cell strength and reproduction, the Vitamin B is essential to metabolize protein, calcium is needed for muscle contraction and blood flow, and Vitamin D is necessary for strong bones, which are just as necessary as sturdy muscles! Of course minerals and vitamins are needed for a number of tasks in the body, however they are directly connected to muscle development too and so are truly essential.

There is a little debate about whether vitamin tablets are properly taken in by the body. Some researches seem to recommend that vitamins in tablet form are not taken in and are passed through in the urine, or are collected in the body organs. It is not the purpose of this article to go in-depth into this subject however we suggest that you Google search the subject and choose for yourself whether it is worth your while to take an everyday supplement or not. Many individuals who do not like the tablet form have actually turned to juicing. You can most likely do without the supplement if you eat well balanced meals and have juices daily. Your daily juices should comprise of: one freshly pressed orange juice (drink within 5 minutes of pressing), one carrot and apple juice, 1 "green" juice with salad, celery, cucumber, raw green spinach or anything else you like .

A very popular bodybuilding supplement is protein powder. It is definitely required to consume some protein within sixty mins of having finished your exercise and because many people are not at home by then, they find it more hassle-free to just consume a shake. However, you can just as easily consume a little tub of cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg. Protein powders have the advantage of being pure protein without any fat, but you have to see to it you are getting a kind that is not greatly processed and loaded with sweetener and synthetic flavorings. Potentially stay away from whey and soya protein for this reason and rather have hemp protein or rice protein.

On the protein building side you have your Creatine, Glutamine and various other amino acids. Glutamine is an amino acid which is specifically beneficial for muscles as it helps in protein synthesis and makes nitrogen readily available for anabolic processes.

The L-carnitine helps turn fat into energy, and the caffeine "burns" the fat by boosting the metabolic process. There are likewise numerous weight management "cocktails" on the market. You can shop around however see to it you don't purchase anything that contains chemicals.

The most typical testosterone boosters are Devil's Weed, Tribulus, ZMA (magnesium, aspartate and zinc) and D-aspartic acid. They actually have the additional advantage of supporting sexual libido. A diet that consists of twenty to twenty five percent fat (preferably from fatty fish, seeds and nuts) will likewise normally increase testosterone levels.

So, in a nutshell, food supplements can be helpful if made use of suitably but not utilizing them will not compromise you bodybuilding in any way.
