Supplements ; Do You Want to Get Faster Results?
Supplements are NOT the "magic pill"
that will solve all your problems.
As long as you understand the previous
statement, supplements can be an integral
part of your fitness program. It
is important to make sure your
supplement intake is consistent with
your current fitness goals.
Ordering supplements online is the
cheapest way to get them. Online
retailers sell at wholesale prices.
The local supplement stores buy from the
same online retailers and increase the
prices by over 25%.

 Natrol Multivitamin
A multivitamin is a necessity for active people with any
goal. If you think you can get all the vitamins and
minerals from your diet or anyone's diet you've mistaken.
For best nutrient utilization, tablets are your best bet. |

Whey
Protein
All protein is not created equal. Whey protein which
is usually 99% lactose free is on the top of the protein
quality chart. It benefits people from all fitness
goals. Easily added to a protein deficient meal can
balance out the meal to encourage optimal absorption and
blood/sugar response. |

Antioxidants
(Emergen-C)
Antioxidants play a key role in your body with everything
from immune system to the way your body fights off fatigue
and damage during and after your workout. Emergen-C is
a good effervescent way to get antioxidants at any time, the
best would be before or after a workout. |

Myoplex
Deluxe (powder)
When someone asks you what you're drinking tell them you
are drinking a chicken breast, sweet potato and vegetables
and taking a multivitamin, but it tastes just like chocolate
vanilla or strawberry. Myoplex has a great mix of
nutrients, moderate complex carbs, essential fats and and 50
grams
of protein. You can't do any better than Myoplex
deluxe, it also is very filling. The only con is it is
messy, you have to make in a shaker or blender.
Myoplex deluxe has around 350 Calories. |
Supplement Intake
Timing
Pre-Exercise Nutrition
Having optimal energy for intense
exercise depends largely on what you eat
in 1-3 hours before your session.
Supplements can be used in place of real
food and some are designed to be taken
before exercise.
Your pre- training nutrients are goal
specific. Certain supplements are
specifically designed for intake before
different modes of exercise.
These products usually include a
large amount of carbohydrate.
Sometimes they include performance
enhancers such as creatine.
Post-Exercise Nutrition
This oft neglected yet utterly
important aspect of training is
essential for recovery and progress
through any exercise program is a good
time to grab a goal specific
supplement.
Most liquid protein drinks are an
option for post exercise with the hope
your body will not catabolize or break
down its own muscle. The best
option is to get a 4 or 6 : 1
carbohydrate : protein ratio shake, or
bar, such as normal Power Bar
Performance, which has 45 grams of carb
and 10 grams of protein or about a 4:1
ratio!
