My Suppliment List
Posted by: Andrew : Category: My Nutrition Program, Supplement Try Out/Review
Let’s talk supplements. It takes a lot of convincing me to take supplements, I have to really do my research and then I read up on mountains of reviews for the brands that are available.
Currently I am taking whey protein, the brand I currently use is Optimum Nutrition. Whey protein is a by product of cheese production. Why do I take it? I take it because it is digested very quickly; and this is what assists my post-workout recovery. I take my whey protein within 5 min after my workout, along with some carbs, normally a banana.
I also take Cod Liver and Omega 3 oils in capsule forms. The reason for the cod liver is for joint health, in the hope that this will keep my doggie hip as healthy and strong as possible.
I will be adding Creatine and a specifically designed sports recovery supplement to my list.
The creatine that I will be using is from Gold’s Gym. Creatine is an organic acid that occurs naturally in the body and it helps to supply energy to the muscles. So I am hoping by adding this it will improve my strength and assist my muscle gains. I will mix this with a whey protein shake (made with water) and take it as a pre-workout drink.
