Essential Bodybuilding Supplements
By Tom Wallis
The bodybuilding world is inundated with all sorts of nutritional supplements that promise users fantastic results and knowing which ones can best help you with your particular bodybuilding workout regime and overall lifestyle is not an easy task. The following is just a guide to some of the more essential supplements that can help maximize your training and keep you fit and healthy.
Protein - not weight gainers, mass muscle builders or meal replacement powders, but plain and simple protein. Many protein-based bodybuilding supplements on the market today are nothing more than weight gainers, which are full of sugar. If you buy just plain protein powder and then add your own peanut butter, fruit, flax seed oil and whole milk you will have a good source of bodybuilding protein, without all the unnecessary added extras.
Creatine - whilst it is found naturally in meat and fish, a good creatine supplement can help to hasten the progress towards lean body mass and greater strength. Creatine is vital for long term bodybuilders as it aids in preventing injuries that can be caused by rapid increases in strength training. Be careful to choose a good source of creatine as poorer grades, containing chemical residue, have been known to cause gastro-intestinal problems.
L-Glutamine - is the most abundant amino acid found in the body,
it is a good supplement that helps to speed up recovery from the tired, aching muscles, which prevent you from training properly. Glutamine can also help to repair and soothe stomach upsets and reduce sugar cravings.
Multi-Vitamins/
Antioxidants - hard training bodybuilders need more than just the
vitamins and minerals they gain from food and these highly essential bodybuilding supplements help to increase recovery and enable athletes to 'go hard' and endure training, or competition, for longer periods, without harming their immune system. Vitamins C and E are particularly beneficial.
These are just some of the basic essential bodybuilding supplements that will greatly
assist you in your bodybuilding workout routine - by no means is this a comprehensive list.
