Building Muscles Fast Using Supplements

By Molly Robbins

If you're interested in building muscles fast, you should also know that it's quite possible that your diet can't help you do this all by itself. Of course, you need a good diet and you need to eat as many of the right foods as you can, but that may not be enough when it comes to building muscles fast. Building muscles may also require the use of certain supplements so that your bodybuilding efforts are used to best effect so that you can reach your bodybuilding goals as fast as possible.

Ideally, you should eat five or six meals a day and make sure you get enough calories so that your metabolism both gets and stays high. For most of these meals, you'll want to take in real food, but you can also add in two or three meal replacement shakes so that you can be more assured of fast muscle building.

Because most muscle building powders are about the same in terms of the nutrition they provide, it's perfectly fine to go with cheaper ones on the market. Just make sure the ones you get come from a company that's reputable. Certainly, your meal replacement shakes will be cheaper than fast food trips, and are a great tool that you can use to help meet your caloric needs and get the right nutrients at the same time. Usually, you should take a meal replacement shake either before or after you've done your workout.

Use whey proteins to best effect, because these are very good source of protein that your body can easily absorb. Taking them both after workouts and before bed will help your body rebuild the muscle that you've broken down during your workouts. Again, whey protein is very inexpensive, but make sure you find a source that's reputable. The whey protein you get should have under 100 mg of sodium per serving, and be low in carbs, at under 5 g a serving.

Multivitamins are incredibly important for anyone to stay healthy but especially for those who want to gain muscles fast. Make sure that it has high levels of vitamin C (500mg) and high levels of vitamin E (400mg). Since you are putting your body through a lot of stress while you are building muscles fast, your body will need these more than other people.

Creatine, too, is great to help supply energy to muscles and nerve cells. Creatine is available from many different sources, but make sure the company you get it from has a good reputation. Unflavored creatine is best, because flavored creatine powders will have dextrose in them. You should take your creatine powder after your workout rather than before. If you take it with a high carb drink like grape juice, it will be more effective.

Glutamine is also another great supplement to take if you want to build muscles fast. It has 60% of the amino acids your body uses. It helps with protein metabolism and is needed for development of your muscles. After your workout you have used about 50% of your glutamine stores and your body will take it from the muscles to replenish it.

Whatever supplements and meal replacements you decide to use, make sure everything you take comes from reputable manufacturers. Take the supplements and meal replacement powders in the right dosages, and make sure you eat right when it comes to food consumption, too. A good diet, good supplementation, and a good workout program will help make sure that you build muscle fast. - 17273
