Supplements make it much easier to get the necessary nutrients to build muscle and can even give you a boost for your training when taken right. Of course, your diet should be on point or at least 70% clean to really see progress. Before you start thinking about buying and taking supplements you should really ask yourself if you need them and if you have the money to buy them. Also consult your doctor before you try any new products.

I’m currently taking:
-Womens Best Whey Protein Powder
-Animal Cut (which is a fat burner/ I only take it for a short while)
-Metamucil Multihealth Fibre Powder (helps with my bloating)
-Womens Best BCAA

Protein is an important part of our diet and key to building and maintaining the muscles we gained or want to gain. It contains amino acids, the building blocks used for muscle growth. You can eat fish, chicken, eggs or avocado but if your undereating on protein like me,  buying protein powder, shakes, bars or even capsules may be a good idea. Really Important though: It shouldn’t be a replacement for a healthy and balanced diet.

Metamucil Fibre Powder is something I can recommend if you have like me problems with bloating. It helps your digestive system and can prevent you from snacking because you are taking in your daily amount of fibre. I love vegetables and fruits but its sometimes just not enough.

BCAA “refer to three of the 20 amino acids – leucine, isoleucine and valine, each of which cannot be synthesised by the body and must therefore be provided in the diet. BCAAs constitute approximately 1/3 of skeletal muscle protein”. It helps you with recovery and promotes muscle maintenance and growth.

For Fat burners, you don’t necessarily need them but If your diet is good and your sticking to your training (including cardio/HIIT since you want to lose fat) they can be useful and additionally help you to reduce your bodyfat faster.

long story short though: You don’t really need supplements. T.H.
