Supplements are called supplements for a reason. They are meant to supplement good exercise and nutrition. You can’t replace hard work so be sure to push hard in the gym and eat quality, nutritious foods.
➤ Whole Food Vitamins
Vitamins are important in supporting your body’s processes as they perform hundreds of roles in the body. They help shore up bones, heal wounds, and bolster your immune system. They also convert food into energy, and repair cellular damage.
➤ Omega 3’s
Omega-3 supplementation can improve muscle strength and function, reduce muscle damage and soreness, fight inflammation, and improve the function of the heart and lungs.
➤ Melatonin
Melatonin can be used to help you correct a sleep schedule that has fallen out of balance. Improving the quality of sleep is vitally important when trying to build muscle since your muscles grow when you are asleep.
➤ Whey Protein
Whey Protein promotes muscle growth and contains an incredible range of amino acids, which are absorbed quickly. Whey protein helps preserve muscle, increase muscle, and increase strength. Adding whey protein can help you reach your daily protein requirement goals.
➤ Greens Supplement
Most people don’t get enough vegetables in their diet for many different reasons. This means that they are deficient in the vitamins and minerals that their body needs. When trying to gain mass, veggies are very dense and fibrous making it hard to eat a lot of protein ALONG with your veggies. Using a greens supplement can help you get the nutrients you are missing out on by skipping the veggies.
➤ Pre-Workout
Some days you just need a boost in the gym. Pre-workouts are designed to give you an increase in mental clarity, energy, blood circulation, endurance, and can help facilitate quicker muscle recovery. If you’re struggling and you need a boost of energy, experiment with a pre workout.
➤ Intra Workout
For hard training days, intra workout supplements can help provide fuel for your workouts. I recommend using one that’s composed of creatine, amino acids, and/or fast-acting carbohydrates. You can take these before or during your training. Intra workout supplements will help you when you’re training like a beast.
