The Big
Three
As more and more supplement companies pop up with new
products in the market, people often confuse over what is better. There are humongous
amounts of products available with different objectives and price tags.
So, what a person on a budget should do? Today we discuss
about three tried and tested supplements that are recommended by coaches and athletes
all over the world.
These supplements are not meant to treat any health disorders, they are just to enhance performance and growth. We reccomend that you once consult your physical trainer before you consume them and make sure you are above 18.

1. Creatine
One of the most researched supplement of all time,
creatine has a plethora of benefits and also is cheap. Creatine is mostly found
in the muscles and they help in synthesis of ATP so that we can train longer
and harder. Also it absorbs water, thus it brings more nutrients towards the
muscles with blood for better muscle growth.
Just keep the water intake high so that we can flush it
out of the body. Ideal dosage is 5g before and after workout. If you see side
effects within a day then stop the consumption. Also creatine loading is a
myth.
2. Whey Protein
Tasty, time saving and efficient, whey protein is the go
to post workout supplement. It is easily digested, high on protein and BCAA.
Take one or two scoops after workout to promote growth and recovery.

3. BCAA
Branched Chain Amino Acids form one third of the muscle
protein. They are easily absorbed, provide speedy recovery, better muscle synthesis
and less micro damage. They can be taken as pre, intra or post workout. The
liquid alternatives can be sipped throughout the day.
These were the three supplements many athletes vouch for,
and we all can benefit from them.
