With the plethora of advertisements from the various supplement companies and bodybuilding magazines, it is no surprise that people get confused over which supplements to choose that will best help them in their goals.
Do not be gullible enough to believe some of the wild claims made by these advertisements about their product being the 'miracle pill' or a 'must-have' to achieve your desired goals.
Whey Protein Creatine
Here I have listed down 5 supplements that you might want to consider adding into your diet. Forget the rest!
Creatine: In my opinion, Creatine is by far the only supplement worth investing in. It has been clinically proven to be the most effective when it comes to building muscle mass. It does this by promoting sarcoplasmic hypertrophy. It is also a muscle building supplement which has little or no calories.
Creatine is relatively cheap; a month's supply will cost about .
Whey Protein: When you are concerned about protein supplements, I suggest taking whey protein. They are gentler on the stomach and gets absorbed into your bloodstream and muscles very quickly. This helps in the muscle repairing process and prevents muscle breakdown. Hence it makes an excellent post workout shake.
Depending on the brand, whey protein is only a little more expensive compared to Creatine. Whey protein comes in the form of isolates, concentrates, or hydrolyzed whey.
Casein: Casein is a slow releasing protein. When it enters the stomach, it creates some sort of gel which facilitates this slow release of protein into our bloodstream. Although this slow protein release does not encourage protein synthesis, it ensures that our muscles receive a sustained supply of proteins, hence minimizing muscle breakdown. In order to achieve muscle growth, I feel that there must be a balance of protein synthesis and muscle breakdown prevention.
BCAAs: BCAAs, or Branched-Chain Amino Acids, are a group of essential amino acids, which cannot be produced naturally by our bodies. Amino acids are the simplest form of protein. When our body receives protein, it will break them down to amino acids, which will be carried by our blood to the rest of our body. BCAA supplements help tremendously in muscle recovery. Therefore, if you feel that you are missing out on workouts due to extreme muscle soreness, you might consider investing in this.
Fish oil: Among many health benefits that fish oil can provide, for example reducing inflammation, improving brain function and minimizing the risk of heart disease, it also helps in building muscle too, by improving muscle recovery, preventing muscle breakdown and encouraging muscle growth.
All in all, I hope this has cleared some confusion in the air about which supplements to choose to help you in achieving your goals; in this case, achieving maximal muscle growth. Personally, I feel that there is no 'need' to include supplements into your diet provided your workouts, lifestyle and diet are decent enough. However, if you screw up in any of these, then any 'miracle pill' will not be able to help you.
