Whether you are just getting started on your fitness journey, or you're an experienced athlete, proper supplementation is key to achieving your ultimate fitness goals. All Sport Pharmaceuticals has created a line of performance supplements that are perfect for active persons at every level–from experienced bodybuilders and professional athletes to those just getting their foot in the door of their local gym.
If you’re not sure where to start when it comes to performance supplements, or just needing recommendations on what works best for you. Check out our beginner’s guide to supplements where we’ll breakdown the top 4 supplements you need to power your workouts and what you can expect from them.
1. Whey Protein Powder
As the main ingredient to any good post-workout meal, Whey protein powder is the supplement to take to quickly get protein in your body speeding up the recovery process after your workouts, especially if you find yourself not able to get to a meal quickly. Protein is necessary in order to build muscle, and whey protein is the fastest way to reconstruct and build up your muscles during and after a workout.
Protein is one of the best supplements for recovery, because amino acids in protein supplements directly repair your muscle fibers that have been torn through a vigorous workout. You can easily mix Whey protein with water or almond milk, and can be taken before your workout and after your workout for maximum effect.
At All Sport Pharmaceuticals, we use top-quality ingredients that are clearly listed on the label–so you always know what you’re putting in your body. When it comes to a beginner’s guide to supplements, protein powder is a great place to start.
2. BCAA Post-Workout Powder
Our BCAA Post-Workout Supplement is a great next step after you’ve started with Whey protein. Working as an additional amino acid supplement, the primary purpose of this supplement is to support lean muscle and recovery, allowing for faster muscle recovery after intense physical activity. The objective of weight lifting is to produce lean muscle and the faster we can recover, the more lean muscle we can produce.
3. Creatine Monohydrate
Another well-known name in fitness supplements, Creatine Monohydrate is the way to increase your strength and generate lean body mass. This organic acid is found naturally in our bodies, and its main role is to recycle ATP, energy for your cells, in the brain and muscle tissue.
We highlight creatine as one of our most powerful supplements because it gives you energy during your those high intensity workouts. By saturating your muscles with renewed energy, you are able to push beyond your limits in a way that you wouldn’t be able to without.
You may be wondering " Exactly how and when do I take creatine?" The general recommended dose is about 5 grams per day–and it’s important to note that you should take creatine daily. However, unlike other performance supplements, with creatine, it doesn’t really matter when you take it; the active ingredient builds up in your system over time, meaning you can take it anytime of day and you should still reap the same benefits.
4. Nitric Shock Pre-Workout Powder
If you’re just starting your fitness journey, you may have some trouble getting in ‘the zone’. Don’t worry–it happens to everyone, even experienced athletes. That’s where a pre-workout becomes one of the most valuable and effective supplements in your back pocket.
At All Sport Pharmaceuticals, we’ve designed our Nitric Shock Pre-Workout powder to enhance energy and focus. Like all of our performance supplements, we clearly list every ingredient on the label so you know exactly what you’re putting into your body.
With a suggested use of 1-2 scoops with 10 oz. of water 30 minutes before working out, Nitric Shock is the perfect pre-workout supplement. Once you’ve determined your tolerance, you can adjust the dosage as needed to take your workouts to the next level.
