Muscle Building Supplements
In today’s over saturated market of muscle
building supplements and pills, how do you know
what works, what doesn’t, and what you should
buy? Too often, you’ll see people relying
solely on supplements to help them build muscle,
but they neglect other aspects such as their training
and nutrition. If you do not have a good muscle
building program and nutrition
in place to begin with, no amount of supplements
in the world can help you build muscle and strength.
Muscle Building Supplement – Whey Proteins
When it comes to muscle building supplement,
the basics of your foundation should include a
creating supplement, a whey protein, and perhaps
some glutamine and a multi vitamin. The most important
muscle building supplement would have to be protein
supplements
.
Different proteins have different absorption
rates, and different users. For example, whey
protein has the fastest absorption rate, and should
be taken immediately after a workout. On the other
hand, casein protein has a much slower absorption
rate, and is therefore commonly used in night
time protein blends, with the purpose of providing
nutrition for your body while you sleep.
Muscle Building Supplement - Creatine
Creatine is another one of the essential muscle
building supplements that most will have used
at some point. Creatine is made up of three amino
acids arginine, glycine, and methionine. The main
function of creatine is to help provide energy
to your muscles. Creatine works by increasing
the amount of ATP (adenosine triphosphate) available.
ATP is the fuel for your muscle contractions.
When your muscle contracts, ATP gets used up –
it provides energy by release a phosphate molecule
and becomes an ADP (adenosine diphosphate). Creatine
helps replenish the ATP in your muscles allowing
you to have more intense workouts.
There are several types of creatine supplements
including the good ol’ creatine monohydrate,
creatine ethyl ester (CEE), kre alkalyn creatine,
micronized creatine and several others. There
are also creatine delivery supplements such as
Muscletech cell tech, Nutrex Vitargo CGL, San
V12, just to name a few of them.
