Protein, creatine and glutamine: three safe and
natural muscle building supplements
It’s not easy to build muscle without
help. However, there are so many products on the
market claiming to aid in
muscle building
that it is difficult to know what is safe and what
will actually work for you. Protein, creatine and
glutamine are your body’s natural ingredients for
muscle building and growth. By ingesting more of
these in the form of nutritional supplements, you
are boosting your body’s ability to build muscle.
Protein
Protein is the building block of our bodies and,
most importantly, our muscles. As a bodybuilder, to
get enough protein to make you bigger and stronger
quickly, it is difficult to naturally ingest enough
protein each day to help your muscles work and grow
to their maximum capacity. By taking a nutritional
supplement like protein, your daily protein
requirements are made much more convenient. Also,
you are increasing your daily protein intake and
speeding up your body’s muscle building process.
Creatine
Creatine is naturally found in our bodies and
supplies our muscles with the energy to work and
grow. During your workouts, creatine also delays
secretion of lactic acid, which causes your muscles
to feel tired, during your workout. Taking a
nutritional supplement like creatine monohydrate can
aid muscle building by allowing your muscles to work
longer without getting tired as quickly.
Glutamine
Glutamine is a non-essential amino acid. When your
body is under stress, like an intense workout, your
body can demand glutamine and temporarily make it an
essential amino acid. A nutritional supplement like
l-glutamine aids in muscle building by strengthening
your immune system and helping your body recover
from these periods of high stress.
Muscle building does not result directly from these
nutritional supplements alone, but they will help
give you and your muscles more energy to help you
get the most out of your workouts. These supplements
exist naturally in and work with your body’s systems
to increase your strength and muscle mass.

Know the lingo
prohormones—a variant
of a hormone that is
altered by
naturally-occurring
enzymes in the body so
that a more active hormone
is produced, usually for
the purpose of muscle
growth. Androstenedione
and Androdiol are two
prohormones that convert
to testosterone.
Nor-Androstenedione
converts to Nandrolone.
ephedrine—derived from
the plant compound Ephedra
(or ma-huang). While it
elevates the metabolism
and suppresses appetite,
it has been linked to
extreme reactions such as
high blood pressure, heart
attack, and stroke. It is
often marketed in
combination with caffeine
and aspirin (the ECA
stack). |
