We all know that in the perfect world you wouldn’t need to supplement your diet; you would get all the nutrients from the food you consume. In reality however that is rarely possible; the amount of certain foods you would have to consume to obtain the right balance of certain nutrients is just not feasible (think intolerances and allergies). This is where supplements come in. There are three main supplements: vitamins, branch chain amino acids and protein, and why using these supplements may boost your training.
Vitamin Supplements
Multivitamins are perhaps best viewed as an insurance policy; because with a hectic lifestyle it is sometimes hard to ensure you get all of the nutrients you need to keep functioning at your peak. Vitamin tablets, colloid silver UK and gold colloid supplements are specifically designed for athletes; providing high levels of vitamin C and zinc to support a healthy immune system, as well as calcium and vitamin D to ensure strong bone strength.
There will always be debate about how necessary multivitamins are, but if you are doing a hard block of training it is reassuring to know that you have every vitamin replenished to keep your body functioning at its best.
Branch Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein, yet the body cannot produce them by itself. Therefore in order to repair muscles you must ensure that you are getting amino acids in your diet.
