Firstly, adding a multivitamin to your diet, either fat soluble or water soluble, is a great way to start as you need vitamins and minerals for proper health and growth, but many people are busy with day to day life and so they lack the vitamins they need to succeed.
Next, try Creatine. This is the most known supplement out there and is very well researched. If you’re doing resistance training, you should really consider adding a creatine supplement to your diet. Creatine comes from amino acids and naturally occurs as much in the body already as testosterone does. Creatine supplements are intended to give you the added amount needed for your body to store, but be aware that you body cannot be saturated any more once it has reached the ‘loading’ potential of creatine.
Finally, protein powder and amino acids (BCAA) is the third simple supplement on this list. Most weight trainers add a protein supplement to their regimen, as it often conveniently comes in the form of a shake and us one of the best muscle building supplements to take. 16% of your body’s lean tissue is accounted for by protein, the building blocks of which are amino acids. More often than not, you can get the levels of protein you need from your daily diet, but if you are weight training and want to build muscle, the amount of protein you get from food will not be enough to sustain steady muscle growth and you’ll need a supplement.
Adding a course of amino acids to your diet and training routine is also recommended. Branch Chain Amino Acids, or BCAAs, are made up of leucine, isoleucine and valine. BCAA is similar to protein in that most resistance trainers find it essential, it’s very convenient and is easy to find and purchase. Remember, it isn’t a requirement that you take supplements in conjunction with your work outs, but many people do so in order to achieve their weight training goals.
