Quick Supplement Info

Written By Mikaela .

Over the years we've received a lot of questions regarding supplements. Here are just 2 to get you started;

1. Protein powder, one of the most common supplements 

2. Creatine, the most studied supplement ever, and very highly recommended for everyone to take.

Protein powder: assist in building muscle

*always remember, this is a SUPPLEMENT. Meaning you don't want to rely on protein powder for you main protein source. Do not exceed 20% of your total daily protein from supplements. 

  • Protein is the main building block of muscle and various compounds in the body such as enzymes and hormones

  • Whey protein is the highest quality

  • Protein powder with the most BCAA leucine is best

  • Convenient and easy way to get extra protein

  • Some protein powders also include vitamins

Creatine:

*take around workout time WITHOUT caffeine

  • Can increase muscle mass, strength, and performance

  • Hydrates muscles: hydrated muscle is a healthy and protected muscle

  • Draws in nutrients to help with recovery process post training

  • Helps your muscles produce energy during heavy lifting or high-intensity exercise

  • Enables more total work or volume in a single training session, which is a key factor in long-term muscle growth

  • Might reduce the frequency of dehydration, muscle cramping, and injuries to the muscles, bones, ligaments, and tendons
