Sports Supplements for Bodybuilders (Part 3) :
· Zinc and Magnesium Aspartate (ZMA)- This combination of vitamins and
minerals has been reported to increase testosterone levels and improve
sleep and recovery.
· Prohormones- Prohormones work like anabolic steroids- they increase anabolic hormones but with less risks for side effects.
·
Protein-rich products or meal replacement products are available such
as protein bars and protein shakes. Both are consumed in replacement of
whole meals. These products are low in fat, rich in vitamins and
minerals, have moderate amounts of carbohydrates and packed with high
quality protein. Protein is made up of amino acids, which are the basic
building blocks of muscles. Other forms of protein would be whey, egg or
albumen, casein and soy.
The demand for bodybuilding supplements
is increasing as more and more types and brands are being developed.
Unfortunately, a lot of manufacturers make false claims with regards to
the product safety and effectiveness. It is always best to take
precaution in choosing the supplement.
Remember that the US Food
and Drugs Administration does not provide oversight for these
bodybuilding supplements. Meaning, the safety of these products is not
always guaranteed due to the lack of an agency that can control and
check these products.
And keep in mind that no amount of
supplements will gain you results without a strict workout regimen and a
proper diet. So if you want to achieve that fabulous body, sweat it
out! The natural way, is always the perfect and most effective way.
