Protein- Protein is one of the oldest and most commonly used bodybuilding supplements. Adequate protein intake is absolutely essential for building lean muscle. A general rule of thumb is to consume 1-2 grams of protein per pound of body weight each day. This is often difficult to achieve through diet alone.
Creatine- Creatine is a naturally occuring substance in the body that supplies your muscles with energy for short bursts of activity such as bodybuilding, sports and other physical activities. Creatine has been shown to increase size, strength, energy, improve recovery time and even improve mental function. There are myths about Creatine and all bodybuilding supplements that simply are not true. Creatine increases INTRAcellular water retention, which is water inside the cell, not INTERcellular, which is water between the cells, or bloating. Simply put, Creatine increases the size of the muscle cell and helps give you more energy so you can lift more weight.
Multi-Vitamins- Taking a Multi-Vitamin/Mineral supplement is not as glamerous as other Bodybuilding Supplements, but it is atleast as important. If your diet is deficient in a particular area, you will never reach your full potential. Taking a good Multi-Vitamin/Mineral supplement daily is one of the best ways to make certain your body has all the nutrients it needs.
Nitric Oxide- Nitric Oxide is relatively new in the world of bodybuilding supplements. Nitric Oxide can increase muscle size, strength, increase nutrient uptake, help you get a better pump and even increase the effectiveness of Creatine!
Meal Replacement Products- Meal replacement products are extremely important in the world of bodybuilding supplements. In an ideal world every bodybuilder would have the time to sit down every 2-3 hours and eat a chicken breast, some rice, a salad and a glass of milk. In the real world most bodybuilders have jobs and other commitments that make that next to impossible to do on a daily basis. This is where meal replacement products are important. Meal replacement products are typically in the form of a powder that can be mixed into a drink or in the form of a bar that can be eaten almost anywhere.
