Big Body Building Tips

The bottom line is that most supplements don’t work. You see, it’s an industry that is not regulated very well. Yet, we keep on spending billions and billions of dollars on supplements each year.

In fact, you could start your own supplement company with minimal effort.

Thus, here are 5 supplements that do provide some benefit:

1. Caffeine: Of all the safe supplements you can take, this will have the most immediate and powerful impact. It does a great job at mobilizing fatty acids, reducing fatigue and increasing power output. This all happens via an enhanced secretion of stress hormones from your adrenals.

2. Powdered protein: There is only one time when taking supplemental protein is optimal for the average person, right after exercise. During this time you need nutrition badly, yet you don’t get hungry because of increased body temperature.

3. Supplemental carbs: Again, the best time to take supplemental carbs is right after a workout. And carbs are actually far more important than protein here. Your active tissues become hyper absorbent towards carbs right after you exercise.

4. Fish oil: You should only supplement with fish oil if you aren’t getting omega-3’s in your diet. If you are eating fish, walnuts and/or flax seeds, you do not need to supplement here. Otherwise, aim for 1 gram of DHA per day. And more is not better here because if you have too much fish oil, you can damage your heart.

5. Multivitamin: Consumption of multivitamin supplements is recommended by Harvard University and has been shown to reduce chronic disease. They key here is to not over-supplement with exorbitant amounts of nutrients here. Don’t take multivitamins with more than 100% daily value of anything.

The majority of supplements don’t work, but that doesn’t mean you should see them as evil either. Keep in mind that whole food will always be far superior than supplements. Nevertheless, the above supplements can definitely help you.
