Lets Review some supplements

            Today I am going to giving you guys, and gals, some products that I truly enjoy for my workout routine. A brief introduction of the products I use are Cellucor’s C4 pre-workout, ON’s Amino Acids, “ANIMAL” Vitamin Pack, Dymatize Nutrition’s Protein shake and Now Sports Carbo Gain. As you have noticed I do not have one specific brand that I use over and over again. That is because of my personal body type and motives, each person is going to feel differently from each product, so there is no “right” product supplements too use. These are just the ones I have found to be most beneficial.

            Let’s start with Cellucor’s C4 Pre-Workout watermelon flavored, this is a powerhouse of vitamins and minerals needed to get a body going for a maximum impact workout. It is used about an hour before the gym, as if pre-workout didn’t specify enough, the main ingredients used are what is called the explosive energy blend. A mixture of Caffeine Anhydrous, velvet bean seed extract and tetramethyluric acid. This blend gives you a sheer boost of energy for the gym, so you can push hard faster and longer. But be careful with the dosage, start out small and work your way up.

            Next, my go to supplement, ON’s Amino Acid. As stated in previous articles amino acid is essential muscle recovery and building. The best part of amino acids is that you can drink them at any time you need a little pick me up. In the morning, afternoon or night, before, during and after the gym. But I would not recommend going past 3-4 servings in a given day, you need other sources of amino acids too truly build a better body.

            Next would be ANIMAL Vitamin pack. This pack is a mixture of various vitamins for performance, antioxidant, digestive enzymes and even more amino acids! There is so many vitamins in this pack that I could spend hours just listing them. ANIMAL vitamin pack is what I use to finish off a work out to replenish my body. But you can also eat them before or during a workout to give you that much needed push. This type of supplement is a little more then what is needed for beginners or people just looking too loose weight, but it is essential for mass gainers and athletes.

            The last two supplement I am going to discuss is Dymatize Nutrition’s Protein shake and Now Sports Cardo Gain, the reason I am going to discuss these to simultaneously is because I take both of these supplements at once. The protein shake is filled with 21 grams of protein, 130 calories, 4 grams of basic vitamins and only 4 grams of sugar. While the Carbo Gainer is 63 grams of carbohydrates and 2 grams of sugar. With this combination it creates a power house for muscle repair and growth. Once again these types of supplements are not really needed for beginners and definitely not for those looking to lose weight. These are for the mass gainers mainly.

            I personally believe that all these supplement are a 5 out of 5 stars. They are all at a reasonable price, available at most vitamin stores such as the Vitamin Shop and GNC or online at various retailers.
