Supplements Blog 1 : Overview

Supplements are used to replace meals, enhance strength/muscle gain, promote weight loss or improve athletic performance; it replaces or adds to the nutrition, vitamins and minerals that cannot be gained through ones daily diet.

I’ll be blogging about the various types of supplements available to help achieve the desired physique. Nutrition is seen as a vital part in a fitness lifestyle and sometimes it can be almost impossible to get all the nutritional requirements for your fitness goal through the foods we eat.

 There are Supplements for almost any insufficiencies including vitamins, pre-workouts, proteins, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), glutamine, essential fatty acids, meal replacement products, creatine, weight loss products and testosterone boosters.

As with any product, quality is important, especially when it is consumed. The most popular brands in the supplement market are Optimum, MusclePharm, BSN, NOW, Cellucor, MuscleTech, Universal Nutrition, BPI Sports. Over the past years, these brands have had their products be nominated for supplement of the year award for great feedback, results and quality.

Within my blogs i will also discuss the controversial topic of anabolic steroids.
