Which supplements for muscle building?

Building muscle is a science in itself. The right diet and the right training are essential, but often even the most dedicated athletes reach their natural limits. This is where supplements come into play. We look at the most important supplements for building muscle, provide detailed information on how to use them and answer numerous exciting questions. All of this, of course, with the high-quality products from Athletic Supplements!

Protein: The basic building block for muscle building

Proteins are the building blocks of our muscles. Without sufficient protein intake, effective muscle building is hardly possible. Proteins support the regeneration and building of muscle tissue. After an intensive workout, your muscles need sufficient protein to grow and become stronger. To build muscle, you should consume around 1.6 to 2.2 grams of protein per kilogram of body weight every day. Protein powders are particularly practical here, as they ensure quick and easy intake. The protein powders from Athletic Supplements are based on pea, soy and rice protein and are therefore even vegan!

Creatine: The proven strength booster

Creatine is one of the best researched supplements and has proven to be extremely effective. It increases performance during short, intense training sessions and thus promotes muscle building. Creatine increases the energy supply in the muscle cells and thus supports powerful and intense training sessions.

A daily intake of 3-5 grams of creatine is ideal. Creatine can be taken both before and after training.

EAAs: The essential amino acids

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are indispensable for the body because it cannot produce them itself. EAAs are particularly important for protein synthesis and are therefore directly involved in muscle building. They improve regeneration and support the immune system. EAAs are a useful supplement, especially for beginners, because they ensure that the body receives all the necessary building blocks for muscle building.

Glutamine: For regeneration and the immune system

Glutamine is the most common amino acid in the human body and plays a central role in regeneration and our immune system. It promotes glycogen storage in the muscles and can shorten the recovery time after training. It also supports the immune system, which is particularly important during intensive training phases.

Citrulline and Arginine: The Nitric Oxide Boosters

Citrulline is converted into arginine in the body and increases nitric oxide production, which improves blood flow and nutrient transport to the muscles. The result: more pump and better training performance. Arginine has similar effects to citrulline and also promotes nitric oxide production. It can be taken directly and thus supports muscle supply during training.

Pre-Workout Booster: The energy kick before training

A pre-workout booster can significantly improve training performance by increasing energy, focus and endurance. What should a good pre-workout booster contain? Caffeine for energy, beta-alanine to reduce muscle fatigue, citrulline for the pump and creatine. All of these ingredients are included in the Pre Workout Booster from Athletic Supplements.

Magnesium: The Regeneration Helper

Magnesium plays a crucial role in energy metabolism and muscle contraction. It supports muscle recovery after exercise and can prevent muscle cramps. It also contributes to normal electrolyte balance and the reduction of fatigue.

Why is magnesium important for building muscle?

Magnesium is particularly important for athletes, as intensive training sessions can lead to increased magnesium loss. A sufficient magnesium intake is therefore essential to promote muscle regeneration and maintain performance.

BCAA: The branched-chain amino acids

BCAAs (branched chain amino acids) can stimulate protein synthesis and reduce muscle fatigue during exercise. However, they are often included in a comprehensive EAA supplement, making them less necessary for many athletes who already take EAAs.

Optimal supplementation and possible interactions

Basic daily supplements should include protein, creatine, omega-3 fatty acids, and a multivitamin. Some supplements can interact in high doses, such as high amounts of caffeine and stimulants combined with certain cardiovascular medications. It is important to discuss dosages and combinations with a professional.

For extremely rapid muscle building, in addition to intensive and well-structured training plans and a protein-rich diet, creatine, protein and pre-workout boosters are the most effective supplements.
