I wanted to share a little on bodybuilding supplements and the ones I use. I think people really get carried away with these and try to get the next new thing out there. I try to keep everything simple. There are no products out there that make this easy. There are no quick fixes.

The first product I use is whey protein. This is just a type of protein found in milk. It serves as a fast digesting and absorbing protein. Nothing more. This means it should be used after a workout and in the morning if you want. I don’t use it in the morning myself, it really is your choice. This product is NOT A MEAL REPLACEMENT. Whey is a fast digesting product, this means that the benefits of this protein don’t last too long. Roughly 45 minutes in the body. Typically protein would last for 3-4hrs, but this will only last 45 minutes, so be aware.

The next thing on the bodybuilding supplements list is creatine. This is a pretty simple product. It allows our body cells to absorb more water. This increased amount of water gives us more stamina and endurance. If you’re curious, this is natural. If you eat a lot of red meat, you would be getting a good sum of creatine. There is a lot of debate on when you should take this supplement. Some people say before the workout, some say after. Here is the facts, anytime, as long as it is consistent. It takes time to digest creatine and it takes time for the benefits to come out. It doesn’t matter when you take it as long as you take it like clock work.

Last, but not least on the bodybuilding supplements list is a good multi-vitamin. If you haven’t already figured this out. Bodybuilding is an act of destruction, than rebuilding. This requires a lot of nutrients, which include the ones that come from vitamins. It can be difficult at times to get the necessary vitamins from your diet, so take a multi-vitamin.

These were my bodybuilding supplements that I use on a regular basis. You shouldn’t really need more than that.
