Supplements the Beginners Guide
Supplements
A vital weapon in your muscle-building arsenal are nutritional supplements. Supplements come in all shapes and sizes, from tablets to powder to liquid. There are hundreds of different nutrients available to buy in many thousands of different products sold by hundreds of different companies world-wide.
Our most recommended supplements
without a shadow of a doubt the top ten supplements we recommend you to take are: 1. Protein Powder
2. Meal Replacement Sachets
3. Protein Bars
4. Creatine
5. Nitric Oxide
6. Glutamine
7. HMB
8. Testosterone Booster
9. Fatty Acids
Consistent supplementation of these three supplements will really make a difference to your growth over the coming months and years. By all means research the latest and greatest new super-supplements but remember without proper supplementation of protein powder, vitamins and minerals and protein bars the other more specialist supplements won't have the foundations they need in order to work.
Why are they so important?
Protein is essential for a muscle-building bodybuilder like yourself - it is the very building blocks of muscle and without enough protein in your diet you will be limiting how quickly (if at all!) you will grow. Why train so hard in the gym but limit how much you will grow by not getting enough protein in? Protein isn't the only macro-nutrient (protein, carbohydrate, fat, water) you need of course, but it is far harder to eat enough or the right type of foods to fulfil your protein requirements than it is with carbohydrates for example. Because of this protein supplementation is critical to your bodybuilding success (Every single professional bodybuilder supplements his diet with protein supplements, for instance).

We highly recommend supplements by Reflex and PHD Nutrition, both are very reputable and honest UK companies that have been making fantastic supplements. If you are on the go a lot or want a handy sachet to ensure you get the correct amount of protein powder in each drink we recommend the Reflex Progen MRP , available at www.fitshopsupplements.co.uk. For those of you who don't mind measuring out your protein into the blender then we recommend Reflex Instant Whey and PHD Pharma Whey.
Vitamins and Minerals are also vital - essential in fact (hence why some of them are termed essential vitamins!). Without adequate vitamin and mineral levels various different processes within your body can't function at peak efficient (if at all in the worst cases of vitamin or mineral deficiencies). Also, the body has been shown to work better if higher doses of vitamins and / or minerals are supplemented rather than relying on the small amounts found in food. Vitamin C is a great example of this.
Many studies have shown benefits of supplementing high doses of vitamin C (there are some critics still but they become fewer with each passing year - the experience of mega vitamin and minerals intakes show how beneficial it is!) and many people supplement their diets with 1 gram or more of Vitamin C daily.
