Which supplement?
There are so many supplements out there to choose from that it can be quite overwhelming trying to figure out the best one for your own needs. Which ones work as promised? Are they worth the money? Will this supplement actually help me build muscles fast? These are all great questions and ones you should be asking so lets take a look and find out – what is the best muscle building supplement?
Personally, having years of training experience, the one supplement that I have seen work time-after-time with countless people is Creatine. Commonly known as Creatine Monohydrate, this supplement has been scientifically proven to do two things: increase strength and build bigger muscles. How does it work? Creatine is already a substance that occurs naturally in our bodies that stores energy to feed your muscles. I’m no scientist so I wont get into the boring details but essentially creatine is a vital energy source for short, intense action like sprinting, lifting weights and so many sporting activities.
Thats all well and good but what does this mean for me? Well, simply put, when you take a creatine supplement your natural levels of creatine in the body are increased. This means that you can work harder for longer, and if you are working harder for a longer period of time while following a great muscle building program then you will see big results and build muscle faster!
Will I get Instant Results? While it isn’t really necessary to follow the complicated loading routine that some people recommend you will start notice the best effects of creatine after about a week of taking it daily. I recommend a dose of about 5 grams a day, which is roughly one heaped teaspoon. I just mix it in with the protein shake of my choice and drink it pre or post workout. There are some great protein supplements out there that combine Creatine and all other kinds of muscle-building amino acids in one complete package, be sure to check out our Supplements section for the latest news and reviews of what is hot in the protein shake world right now.
