Do bodybuilding supplements work?

February 12th, 2009

Many people ask this question about bodybuilding supplements. There is no doubt that supplements help to enhance the recovery and performance of bodybuilders and other athletes, but this is because they have the basics in place already.

They already have a good, clean diet of protein, carbs and fat. They drink adequate water and they workout with weights, while also performing cardio on a regular basis. As they have the bodybuilding basics in place, any supplements that they add to their program enhances their physique and performance.

The problem most people have is that they want a miracle sport supplement. They want the ultimate fat burner, or the incredible muscle builder. They don’t want to put in the effort and the discipline to succeed.

Bodybuilding supplements work as an aid to your diet and training. But they wont give you a miracle cure if you want to eat garbage and watch TV all day long. The question is how much do you want that great body, strength or endurance?

Whey Protein - Nature’s Amazing Muscle Builder by William McRand

February 4th, 2009

Are you concerned about taking care of your body before and after strenuous activities or workouts?

Do you try to avoid supplements that contain additives and possible side effects? If you are interested in better health and improved physical fitness you have surely heard that bodybuilders and other athletes are turning to a simple, natural supplement called whey protein.

WHY DO ATHLETES USE WHEY PROTEIN?

Protein levels are depleted through exercise. Muscles require amino acids to prevent deterioration, give endurance and build mass. Proteins supply these amino acids to the muscles which is why athletes use whey protein.

WHAT IS WHEY PROTEIN?

Commercial whey protein comes from cow’s milk. Whey is the by-product of making cheese and was
usually thrown away as a waste product. Now researchers know that whey protein is high quality,
natural protein that is rich with amino acids essential for good health and muscle building. It is
naturally found in mother’s milk and also used in baby formula. It is being considered for use as a fortifier of grain products because of its considerable health benefits and bland flavor.

Although protein is also found in other foods such as meat, soy and vegetables, whey protein is
proven to have the highest absorption (digestion) levels in comparison to all others.

WHO SHOULD CONSIDER USING WHEY PROTEIN?

Whey protein has many health benefits including immune support, bone health, sports health, weight management and overall well being. Because amino acids are ‘building blocks’ for the human body it is sometimes used by patients to speed up the healing of wounds or burns.

The high quality protein that comes from whey makes it a recommended choice for those who need
optimal benefits from restricted diets including diabetics, those on weight management diets and
even ill patients not able to consume enough protein in their diet to assist with healing.

CAN WHEY PROTEIN BE DANGEROUS?

Whey protein is a food and so it does not have have the risks associated with other supplements.

That said, too much of anything carries risks. Extremely high use of whey protein can overload the
liver which can cause serious problems. Moderation is always recommended.

If you are lactose intolerant you might try whey protein isolate which has less than 1% lactose and
should be tolerable for most users. Whey protein is a natural and healthy way to bring protein into your diet and increase.
