Bodybuilding
Supplements
are nutrients primarily consumed by
Professional
Bodybuilders involved
in
weight
training or other sports with an intent to enhance their
muscle mass. They also aid in improving the efficiency of the
individual as well as recovery from hectic training schedules. However
there is a common fallacy that these body building supplements are just
like anabolic steroids or eventually lead to their use which is not so.
This is because where
anabolic
steroids change a person’s hormone level
beyond a natural limit, these supplements don’t and hence are natural
and safe.
The
primary food for
professionals delving in bodybuilding is Protein.
They employ the intake of a powered form of protein which plays an
eminent role as building blocks for the muscle fiber. It is basically
consumed before and after exercising and replaces the meal in most
cases. Some of the most common categories ingested include:
• Whey proteins which contain the highest
levels of amino acids
• Casein protein which is richest in
glutamine
• Soy protein which is an alternative
protein for vegetarians
• Egg white is a lactose and a dairy-free
protein
• Hemp seeds because they are highly
digestible
Glutamine forms to be the most required protein by bodybuilders
because its deficiency in human body might lead to weakening of the
immune system and also wastage of the muscle tissue. Heavy training
often starts depleting it and hence its intake becomes eminent. It is
available in as a micronized instantly soluble power and hence can be
consumed easily.
