             No amount of supplements can ever take the place of a good quality bodybuilding diet but there are some supplements that can make a great addition. These are some of the top bodybuilding supplements i would recommend :-

  • Casein Whey Protein
  • Creatine
  • Multi-vitamins and minerals
  • Omega 3 Fatty Acids
  • Post Workout Recovery Drinks
  • Green Tea


                                                       CASEIN WHEY PROTEIN

        Cassien Whey Protein is a supplement that is best taken just before you go to bed. Casein is a slow releasing protein so it gives your body a constant source of protein during your longest period without food, which is while your asleep.

                                                                CREATINE

       Creatine is a supplement that works best the more intense your workout is. Creatine is naturally found in meats and in our muscle cells where its used for high intensity muscle contractions. The benefits of creatine are an increase in strength, the ability to train more intensely and for longer followed by faster training recovery.


                                             MULTI-VITAMINS AND MINERALS

       Vitamins and minerals are a very important part of the bodybuilding diet. Many vitamins need minerals to do their job properly.Bodybuilding puts extreme demands on the body so a bodybuilders body has a greater need for vitamins and minerals. Many vitamins and minerals are antioxidants, have an anti-imflammatory effect and are used for the recovery and repair of muscles so adding a high quality multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is a must for every bodybuilder.


                                                     OMEGA 3 FATTY ACIDS

       Omega 3 is known as a "good fat" and has many health benefits. It can't be produced by the body so must be included in your diet. Omega 3 is primarily used to help your brain and body to function properly rather than just being stored as fat.

                   Health Benefits Of Omega 3

  •  Cardiovascular
  •  Boosts Immune System
  •  Maintains Joints And Bones
  •  Helps Moods

                  Bodybuilding Benefits Of Omega 3

  •  Assists In Muscle Growth By Enhancing Testosterone Levels
  •  Assists Liver In Breaking Down Protein To Build Muscle
  •  Speeds Up Metabolic Process For Fat Loss

           Omega 3 is found in wild salmon, mackeral, tuna, kiwi fruits and walnuts


                                           POST WORKOUT RECOVERY DRINKS

        The best post workout recovery drinks contain whey protein and simple carbs. Taking your post workout drink straight after training will keep your body in an anabolic state. Whey protein is rapidly absorbed by the body and simple carbs will restore glycogen in the muscles. Both of these combined taken within 30 minutes after training speed up the recovery process after an intense workout


                                                              GREEN TEA

        Green tea has many benefits for health, well being and bodybuilding. A cup of green tea after a meal will aid digestion. It also has a greater antioxidant effect than many vegetables and is a great way to rid your body of free radicals after an intense workout. Green tea also inhibits the bodies process to deposit fats and raises your resting metabolic rate so is a top slimming aid.

               Health Benefits Of Green Tea

  • Powerful Antioxidant
  • Aids Digestion
  • Boosts Immune System
  • Lowers Cholestorol Levels
  • Anti-Cancer Properties
  • Regulates Blood Sugars

              Bodybuilding Benefits Of Green Tea

  • Aids Endurance During Workouts
  • Aids recovery After Workouts
  • Raises Resting Metabolic Rate
  • Inhibits Fat Deposits

             The list of health benefits of Green Tea is endless while it also has some great bodybuilding benefits which makes it a must for every bodybuilder and goes on my list of the top bodybuilding supplements.
