All you Have to Know about Bodybuilding Supplements

By William Frank


The bodybuilding supplements sector is an extremely rich industry which invests millions of dollars in aggressive advertising projects each year. The reality is that some of these supplements can be really useful but not as useful as a balanced diet plan and proper training.

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

Taking a day-to-day multivitamin complex can be helpful for all sorts of reasons and bodybuilders sometimes shun the vitamins thinking that they will not really be valuable, on the contrary, Vitamin A is necessary for cell strength and reproduction, the Vitamin B is essential to metabolize protein, calcium is necessary for muscle contraction and blood circulation, and Vitamin D is essential for sturdy bones, which are just as essential as strong 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 really necessary.

There is a little debate about whether vitamin tablets are effectively absorbed 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 function of this post to go extensively into this subject but 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 people who don't want the tablet form have actually resorted to juicing. You can probably do without the supplement if you consume well balanced meals and have juices daily. Your everyday juices needs to be made of: one freshly squeezed orange juice (consume within 5 mins of pressing), one carrot and apple juice, 1 "green" juice with salad, celery, cucumber, raw spinach or anything else you prefer.

A very popular bodybuilding supplement is protein powder. It is definitely necessary to consume some protein within sixty minutes of having actually completed your workout and because many people are not home by then, they find it more hassle-free to simply consume a shake. Nevertheless, you can just as quickly eat a small tub of cottage cheese or a hard boiled egg. Protein powders have the benefit of being pure protein without any fat, however you have to make sure you are getting a type that is not greatly processed and filled with sweetener and synthetic flavorings. Possibly 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. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid which promotes muscle growth and is generally considered safe. Amino acids are proteinogenic, which means that they are necessary to create cells. They bind with polypeptides to produce the actual building blocks for the muscle cells. Glutamine is an amino acid which is especially useful for muscles as it helps in protein synthesis and makes nitrogen readily available for anabolic procedures.

The L-carnitine helps break down fat into energy, and the caffeine "burns" the fat by speeding up the metabolism. There are likewise lots of fat burning "cocktails" on the market. You can look around however see to it you don't purchase anything containing chemicals.

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

So, in a nutshell, food supplements can be helpful if made use of appropriately but not using them will not jeopardize you bodybuilding in any way.
