Supplement Guide

This Supplement Guide should give you the low down on exactly what is used in supplements, and give you an idea of what sort of supplements are right for your needs.

Protein

Why use Whey Protein?

Athletes under the stress of intense training have an increased need for protein — among many other functions, protein is essential for muscle growth and recovery. Whey is an excellent source of the quality protein athletes require.
Ways that Whey Protein can enhance.

Muscle Gain & Recovery:

•    As a protein, provide the most optimal source of amino acids (which are the major building blocks of muscle) needed for the repair and growth of muscle tissue
•    Increase the anabolic environment and prevent muscle breakdown, assisting the muscle-building effects of intense weight training

Fat Loss:

•    Support a weight-loss program by helping maintain apt nutrition

Meal Replacements

Also known as MRP's. These MRP's promote optimal nutrition and can be an effective way to support muscle building, lose weight, boost energy levels, nourish the body, and satisfies hunger on the go.

Creatine

Why use Creatine?

Individuals involved in intense physical activities who need quick bursts of energy, such as track and field, weight trainers, footballers, etc., use creatine to improve strength and performance. Also it's been shown in research to help increase gains in lean body mass and boost fat loss.

Ways that Creatine can enhance?

Muscle Gain & Recovery:

•    Increase cell volume within muscle tissue, causing muscles to "super-hydrate" or become fuller, creating an improved environment for muscle growth
•    Stimulate protein synthesis and decrease protein breakdown within muscle tissue, triggering muscle cells to become larger and stronger


Energy & Endurance:

Delay training fatigue, allowing longer muscular contractions, by re-fuelling the ATP-energy process, giving the body access to more energy, faster

Carbohydrates

A sugar that provides the body’s main energy source. Includes monosaccharides (simple sugars such as fructose, galactose, and glucose), oligosaccharides (sugars containing 2 to 10 monosaccharides, such as lactose, maltose, and sucrose), and polysaccharides (complex sugars such as cellulose, glycogen, and starch). Carbohydrates contain four calories per gram. Glucose (blood sugar) is a carbohydrate used by every cell in the body as fuel.

Branced Chain Amino Acid

These three amino acids—valine, isoleucine, and leucine—account for one third of the protein in muscle tissue. This significant contribution makes them important for helping build muscle and increase energy in muscle cells. They are also converted to other amino acids when deficiencies arise.

Fat Loss Agents

These supplements can help drop the extra fat without the unwanted effects of harsh stimulants (like ephedrine). Using a variety of approaches from increasing your metabolism so you burn more fat (thermogenics) to blocking fat absorption (fat blockers) to preventing conversion of food to fat to curbing appetite (appetite suppressors) to lowering fat intake – these supplements work to both help get and keep the body lean.
