The bodybuilding supplements industry is a really rich sector which invests millions of dollars in aggressive marketing projects every year. All this has bought newbie bodybuilders to think that taking supplements is a vital component of bodybuilding. The fact is that some of these supplements can be really beneficial however not as beneficial as a balanced diet and correct training. A more in-depth analysis of exactly what the supplements do, will help you decide if you would like to use them or not.
Essentially you have minerals and vitamins that help your cells along in various processes, then you have supplements that improve your protein building capability, supplements that help you burn fat and natural testosterone boosters.
Taking a daily multivitamin complex can be helpful for all kinds of reasons and bodybuilders sometimes shun the vitamins thinking that they will not really be helpful, on the contrary, Vitamin A is required for cell strength and reproduction, the Vitamin B is essential to metabolize protein, calcium is required for muscle contraction and blood flow, and Vitamin D is required for sturdy bones, which are simply as necessary as sturdy muscles! Obviously vitamins and minerals are needed for a number of tasks in the body, but they are directly related to muscle growth also therefore are truly necessary.
There is a little debate about whether vitamin tablets are properly taken in by the body. Some researches appear to recommend that vitamins in tablet form are not absorbed and are passed through in the urine, or are built up in the organs. It is not the purpose of this post to go in-depth into this subject but we suggest that you Google search the topic and choose for yourself whether it is worth your while to take a daily supplement or not. Lots of people who do not like the tablet form have actually relied on juicing. You can probably do without the supplement if you consume balanced meals and have juices daily. Your everyday juices must comprise of: 1 freshly squeezed orange juice (drink within five minutes of squeezing), 1 carrot and apple juice, one "green" juice with salad, celery, cucumber, raw green spinach or anything else you like .
A very popular bodybuilding supplement is protein powder. It is absolutely necessary to eat some protein within sixty mins of having actually finished your workout and considering that lots of people are not at home yet, they find it more practical to just drink a shake. Nonetheless, 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 make sure you are getting a type 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 particularly useful 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 accelerating the metabolic process. There are likewise numerous weight management "cocktails" on the market. You can shop around but see to it you don't buy anything containing chemicals.
The most typical testosterone boosters are Devil's Weed, Tribulus, ZMA (aspartate, zinc and magnesium) and D-aspartic acid. They actually have the added benefit of supporting the sex drive. A diet that includes 20-25 % fat (preferably from fatty fish, seeds and nuts) will also normally increase testosterone levels.
So, in a nutshell, food supplements can be helpful if made use of properly but not utilizing them will not compromise you bodybuilding in any way.
