I use creatine and whey, everything else seemed like too much for some ill defined benefits. Whatever works for you, though.

These are definitely the basics. I would encourage anyone to use these supplements as so many people have proven them to work!

I Will follow your instruction. Thanks for your instruction.

BSN makes my favorite protein powders, they all taste ridiculously good. I like the Lean Dessert line - it tastes awesome and has 20g of protein in each serving

Very good information. Try to follow.

There are so many supplements out there, and protein is definitely one that everyone trying to put on muscle mass should take. However, the most crucial supplement that isn’t mentioned is a simple multivitamin. Multivitamins have so many important nutrients which many of us do not get enough of through our regular diet.

I wrote a detailed post recently about supplements you need for muscle building, if you are interested in more information please check out my blog. Muscle Post

A nice quick and to the point look at the basics. I think I’ll look into this a bit more and follow it.

I am doing body building these days. I follow some instructions that I found on the internet, and the result is very good. I will try to follow your information.

Do you suggest getting whey protein when you get smoothies or shakes?

I think that whey is the key. If you’re not getting enough protein, you aren’t going to build muscle. Creatine is pretty tricky because it’s really easy to take too much and give yourself creatine poisoning (nothing serious, just a pain to have).

I always considered using creatine but I have a hard enough time keeping the weight off to tell you the truth. A lot of these like protein can really help someone who is training hard to maintain a balanced lifestyle.

There are some mainstays for supplements but really the best thing you can do is talk to a trainer. A lot of them have experience and can help you get the right mix for you.

Thanks for the great tips! Very informative and helpful! I’m going to further research Creatine.

Thanks for the tips, I was considering using some muscle supplements to help, but I wasn’t sure which to use.

Thanks again, I will look into the whey protein or creatine!

I’ve heard of Whey but I haven’t tried it. Thanks for sharing the list! : ]

Thanks for the helpful information. What flavor of whey would you suggest= vanilla or chocolate?? And how often should you make a protein shake? I’ve heard that they are most effective when used as a post-workout remedy. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

I’ve been using Whey for a long time and i’m very impressed with the results. Read and follow what he said to all!

@ Therapy, my coach in high school always told us to take it within 30 minutes after a workout. Post-workout time is when the body is most acceptable to protein and the muscles will take in as much as possible.

There are actually dozens of different flavors other than just chocolate and vanilla. The best one I ever had was rocky road.

Protein is the most popular in body building. Thanks for sharing the others and adding them to my list.

Being a big fitness freak I use Creatine to help me with my work outs.

I also use creatine and it works wonders. I use protein of course,but am iffy with ZMA. thanks for the info on it. I ‘m going to do a little more research.

I also am a workout nut. I have been eating energy bars religiously for years, though sometimes I wonder if all it is is rendered cow hoofs or some other unsightly source of protein. I will give creatine a shot.

Hey, creatine isn’t in this blogs comment spell checker.

Thanks, this information is valuable for my muscle building.

Thats a nice list of muscle building supplements you got there.
Thanks for sharing

Thanks for this piece of information.

I take whey and creatine and omega-3 capsules, sometimes the occasional BCAA.

They are the big 4 , I like ZMA because it helps me sleep better

You’ve certainly touched on the key supplements that should be a part of any workout plan. It is also important to look at supplements such as a quality multivitamin and essential fatty acids.

thanks a lot

thanks for the list

Great post, Useful Information
Thanks buddy for sharing this out !!

I have a couple favorite brands and products. I use ON’s CGT which is creatine, glutaimine, and taurine. It tastes great and works well. I bought some Cell Mass creatine and hated it. I never finished the $40 jar. I also use Syntrax’ products. My favorite is the Matrix protein b/c it has about 26 grams of protein per scoop. Lately I’ve been bulking up and I’ve been using Sci-Fit Extreme Mass and Syntrax Goliath - both of which taste great. They are both 600 calories and 4 scoops per shake but for bulking up, they work great.

While I have been taking Creatine regularly I really have been considering dropping the protein shake. If my diet is right I don’t think the added calories of a shake is needed.

You might also want to consider egg protein supplement if you can find it. The experts agree that egg protein is very healthy for you and can do wonders for some people. Egg protein is very easily digested and it’s a very complete protein and you cannot go wrong for testing to see if your body agrees with it or not.

Creatine is the best I use it all the time

I’ve used Creatine and whey and achieved nice results, but had to stop with the whey due to a tolerance I developed…soy protein isn’t half bad.

Hi,
These are supplement that you always need year round in order to gain muscle. If you have a limited budget, these are the only ones that you need to concern yourself with

http://www.marblehost.com

I’ve been using Whey for a some time and i’m very impressed with the results.

as one user posted, you left out taking a high quality multivitamin, which many would argue is step one. The multivitamin makes sure your body has the nutrients it needs to utilize things like creatine and arginine. I recommend this multivitamin, its one of the best i have taken:

Multissentials Complete Wellness Formula
http://www.biossential.com/best-multi-vitamin/natural-multivitamin-supplement.htm

Does it have any side effects?

I’d say the standard supplements would be a good protein powder and some omega supplements. Building on that I’d add a good multi-vitamin, creatine (as you mentioned) and for me personally, since I do a lot of Muay Thai training (which accumulates a lot of lactic acid), one supplement I can’t go without is Beta Alanine. It’s great stuff!

hey Dan, thanks its really worked. i am taking this and its result was really good

You’ve listed the important ones, especially creatine and whey. Whilst you can get your protein from all kinds of other food sources, whey is just so convenient. A basic shake:

100grams of oats
40grams of whey protein
A Banana
skimmed or semi skimmed milk

Around 50grams of protein in this, as well as 600+ calories, and can be consumed within around 2 minutes, perfect!

is protein whey supplements?

thanks for the information, anyway, is product listed on http://www.supplementpricing.com/ safe?

I prefer soy protein over whey, taste better and way better.

Simply astounding. Liked this article. Thank you for posting it

I wouldn’t use any more than this basic stack.

That’s a pretty solid list. Creatine has always worked well for me, especially with strength.

I’ve only tried whey proteins, since im kind of reluctant to use more artificial stuff..

These are the basics, I pretty much steer clear of everything except creatine and whey. I do sometimes use soy protein - But as far as anything else… It adds more to my expenses in my wallet than on my body

I have started muscle building and I haven’t thought of taking supplements. Thanks for your post about supplements.

I think it is better to consult a doctor before going for any of the muscle building supplements.

-Mini

Good suggestions. I tend to use soy protein over whey, but I agree that the need for additional protein is imperative as you build mass.

Whey protein is the best to build muscle mass even for people wanting to lose their fat…

The only supplement I’m using at the moment is whey protein. It’s so quick and easy and you need to eat lots of protein if you are to stand a chance of building muscle.
Tried creatine in the past but wasn’t really that impressed with it.

I agree with nike, supplements scare me a bit. To look more healthy, we sometimes take measures which make us less healthy.

Creatine is the most popular bodybuilding supplement simply because it works. It’s pretty easy to find plenty of examples of people that are seeing great results with this product.

Protein along with carbs and creatine are what seems to be the basic supplements when performing any type of bodybuilding programme. Now, the technology of these supplements have reached far and they have improved significantly over the years. For instance we have Whey Protein Isolate as the ultimate protein.formula, and Micronized Creatine as the ultimate creatine formula. On the other hand, I think a lot of people are focusing too much on supplements. A great, varied, nutritious and energizing diet of REAL foods should be the main focus when performing a training programme. Supplements are SUPPLIES, nothing else…

Should whey protein be taken before working out or after working out??

Creatine has received some bad stick in the media, but I still think it’s one of the most effective supplements out there to date.

Not to mention it’s been proven by scientists to help to build muscle mass.

A very useful article, I really liked how you boiled down the hype around what a product is, to a short sentence about what it actually does for the body and building muscle.

I think you left out one of the most important supplements: A multivitamin, it contains all of the minerals that we cannot get from our normal diet. Vitamin deficiency comes in waves, you don’t know you are deficient until you experience what your body feels like while taking it.

Glutamine is a controversial supplement meaning that lots of people find it to be an utterly useless and a big waste of money, whereas others swear by it.

Protein powder is good especially if you prefer to have less red meat in your diet. Thee’s a new one ‘pea’ protein now made from peas.

Wow,,it is excellent info about muscle building supplements,,thanks for sharing..

never seen so many comments on a blog

The basics are must haves.

If you allow it, I’d like to recommend a bcaa formula that provides the key building blocks of muscle protein in an ideal ratio to reduce muscle damage and enhance recovery. This allows you to maintain an intense training schedule without skipping a beat. To further enhance it’s effectiveness, this formula uses a unique delivery system. A well-formulated branched chain amino supplement can make a significant difference in your athletic performance results. Immediately following an intense workout, muscle cell nutrient uptake is at its highest point of the day. This short “window of opportunity” requires a well-designed, fast-acting formula to satisfy the muscle’s exercise-induced demands. By taking a bcaa supplement, you can meet these demands, and increase muscle size and strength. Bcaa formulas can be used alone or with other body building supplements. Make sure the ones you choose are manufactured in an FDA registered facility.

Nice article, thanks.
I am looking forward to read your next great article.

Best regards.

Basics are basics so we should follow them all. Moreover I’ll recommend that we should consult some instructor as well to go through all the muscle building process. It seems like very easy to do but it is not.

It was great information. Protein is the fundamental supplement for every bodybuilder. You will need one gram of protein for every pound of your bodyweight per day to build bigger muscles quickly. This is a lot of protein and most people will never get enough of protein from their meals unless they are very small built.

nice blog!!!I always considered using creatine but I have a hard enough time keeping the weight off to tell you the truth. A lot of these like protein can really help someone who is training hard to maintain a balanced lifestyle.There are some mainstays for supplements but really the best thing you can do is talk to a trainer.

The sports persons, especially the athletes, weightlifters and body builders use bodybuilding supplements to built and maintain their body and to increase fitness… Many kinds of body building supplements are available in the market, among which fat loss supplements are very popular…. The fat blockers bind with fat and cholesterol and thus they protect the fats from being absorbed in the body….

That your post was really amazing thank you for your blog.. Really good body supplements that are excellent… Thank you for your more informative blog about body supplement But add something more to get more details about the supplements…

frankly speaking while reading this blog i got some new energy that i can keep my health as safetly.and I have a couple favorite brands and products. I use ON’s CGT which is creatine, glutaimine, and taurine. It tastes great and works well. I bought some Cell Mass creatine and hated it. I never finished the $40 jar. I also use Syntrax’ products. My favorite is the Matrix protein b/c it has about 26 grams of protein per scoop.thanks for sharing this idea to me.

Choosing your health food supplement is something you can do by yourself because there are numerous competing brands jostling for customers’ attention on store shelves…. I think it’s a very good idea to consult the family doctor before beginning your health food supplements regimen…

Creatine and the other supplements named at
the article are very good. Anyway the first
step for muscle mass building is a life style
and a balanced diet including the proper
proteins.

great article, thanks…

Nice in short. Looking for detailed post about body building supplements.

Bodybuilding supplements are just additions to an already good nutrition and training program. Nutrition and training are the most important components of a bodybuilding program, with rest and recovery next to them. Once all of those aspects of your program are maximized, then you can start thinking of adding supplements to your program.

thanks for post and wish you keep writing it more.

This is an awsome blog. There is so much information out there on what the best supplements to buy are but most of it is advertising. How do you know which ones really work and what ones are garbage. I have a similar blog at muscle building supplements and it’s nice to see people giving out information to help the consumer. Keep up the good work.

Nice article, thanks.
I am looking forward to read your next great article.

Best regards……….

I believe zma should be in everyones supplement stack. Increases test levels and puts you in a deep sleep.

Nice article, natural supplements really works that’s the reason many body builders use these supplements.

I am doing body building from past 2 months. I searched so many sites in internet and the result is very good. I will definitely try to follow your information.Thanks for giving this information.

good tips, i enjoy reading your article, hope there will be more..

this information are important for our body especially muscle building

I started taking NO Shotgun and have loved the increased energy. My workouts are much more effective with it. I have been taking myoplex brand protein but it is very hard to mix. I hadn’t heard of the zma I will look into that.

Thank you for your help. I am trying to get in shape and I will try the vitamins you spoke about.

thanks for this informative post.

Just wanted to say great job with the blog, today is my first visit here and I’ve enjoyed reading your posts

I already knew about most of those but have never heard of using glutamine before. I just did some research and it loks like a big one, thanks

These are definitely the basics. I would encourage anyone to use these supplements as so many people have proven them to work!

I’ve always stuck with the basics and have always gotten the job done just fine.

thx very much 4 this useful imformations

I personally believe that muscles building depends upon how dedicated you are to achieve it. It can be gain through some simple steps as, eat organically, you are what you eat. Eat According to your metabolic type, Lift mainly in the 8-12 rep range,Your tempos should range from 3-1-3 to 4-1-4 and no more.

This is very nice info.

What are people’s opinion on Nitric Oxide supplements? I just start on creatine for the first time. I loved NO for the energy but not sure it did much beside give me a caffine rush.

For me the basic supplements are:

protein
vitamins
omega 3 - evening primrose oil
bcaas - glutamine
vitargo

Hi - really appreciate the advice here, but I think there could be a trick being missed. Obviously I believe in protein and creatine and everything else, but I’m seeing more and more evidence that secondary nutrition is just as vital. For instance getting the right amount of fibre, omega oils and green foods too (as the chlorophyll helps build blood).

Would love to hear your thoughts

This is very nice info.

i too wanting to have strong muscles, thanks for this info. I’ll tell this to my friends…

Force Factor works extremely well for me. I guess everyone takes to supplements differetly in their own way. I’m 185,lean ,vascular ,defined thanks to hard work outs ,good diet and the Force Factor gives me that boost I need at the gym. Bottom line, it’s all about discipline and sticking to a good routine. Force Factor is the best nitric oxide supplements.

I personally use nitric oxide supplements and love them. But, just like the commenter Dimitris said, the best supplement in the world will do you no good if you aren’t dedicated to building the dream body. Great article! Keep it up! I love reading all of the comments too!
