Supplements for teens Ages 18 and UP
By: Bryan Locke
Supplements are a very complicated part of bodybuilding and I believe they are fundamental to your success as a bodybuilder.
Since your body has a high demand for excess nutrients when training at a high intensity, supplements provide you with compact essential nutrients. There is a much greater possibility for new muscle tissue to grow when the body has an excess of nutrients to work with.
If you are just starting out with supplements, I suggest that you read the article Supplements For Ages 16 - 17. The products listed in this article are more oriented towards beginners.
Determining which supplements will bear the most effective and desirable results is a respectable challenge. I have used supplements since the age of 16, and believe I have developed a supplementation program which consists of effective, fairly low cost supplements.
Again, the big question about supplements is effective stacks, as well as correct dosages of each product. It is very important that you consult a physician before including supplements in your diet, especially the supplements under the hardcore section.
Supplements are a great resource of nutrients. The majority of these products should be perfectly safe when proper dosages are followed, but for most of them, there are no long term testing results at the current time.
Basic Supplements
Like I listed in the basic beginners program, a high quality Creatine Monohydrate and Whey Protein supplement should always be used.
Creatine Monohydrate:
The Creatine Monohydrate volumizes the muscle cells. This simply means it opens the cells up so the nutrients will flow in much easier and more efficient. Not only will Creatine volumize your muscle cells, but it will allow you to develop muscular strength and endurance much easier since it replenishes ATP and the muscle's ability to handle higher amounts of torque.
Whey Protein:
Whey Protein is an excellent source of BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids). Amino acids are used by the body to rebuild muscle, so the more protein you ingest, the better growth you will receive.
I DO NOT HAVE ANYTHING TO DO WITH THE PURCHASE, SALE OR SHIPMENT OF ILLEGAL PRODUCTS, SO PLEASE DO NOT ASK OR ASSUME THAT I DO.
