• To stay in prime physical condition, it is
  essential to maintain a diet that adheres to
  sound nutritional principles. In our fast-food
  culture, however, many health-conscious people
  find it difficult to get all the nutrients they
  need. For these people, dietary supplements can
  compensate for these deficiencies, providing a
  simple yet effective way to ingest important
  nutrients. Lets take a closer look at
  supplements and their various benefits.

• The wide-ranging benefits of dietary supplements
  have made them popular among competitive
  athletes, dedicated bodybuilders, and everyday
  fitness enthusiasts alike. They are available in
  liquid, tablet, and powder form.
• There are many kinds of supplements on the
  market collectively, they have a range of health
  benefits, including, but not limited to, weight
  loss, increased endurance, and enhanced muscle
  growth/strength.

• Amino acids are organic compounds that play a
  central role in promoting muscle health and a
  variety of other biological processes. They are
  made up of oxygen, carbon, hydrogen, and nitrogen
  molecules. Many supplement formulas contain a
  number of amino acids.
• In total, there are twenty amino acids found in
  the human body.

5

• Essential amino acids are those that cant be
  manufactured by the human body. Amino acids in
  this category include histidine and methionine.
• Non-essential amino acids are those that can be
  manufactured by the human body. This category
  includes alanine and aspartic acid.
• Conditionally essential amino acids are those
  that can be synthesized only under certain
  circumstances, such as when another nutrient is
  present.

6

• Otherwise known as BCAAs, these are special types
  of essential amino acids noted for their
  health-promoting capabilities. There are three
  BCAAs valine, leucine, and isoleucine.
• Branched-chain amino acids are used in many
  supplement formulas intended for stimulating
  weight loss and synthesis of muscle protein.

• Its no secret that protein is vital for
  stimulating muscle growth. For this purpose,
  nothing beats whey protein powder, which is used
  by many bodybuilders after their training
  sessions to optimize their gains. Its one of the
  most popular supplements today.
• Whey protein also helps lessen muscle loss that
  tends to result from dieting.

8

• A powerful non-essential amino acid, beta alanine
  helps relieve muscle fatigue. This allows you to
  extend your exercise session and increase the
  gains you earn from your workouts.
• Beta alanine works by boosting the bodys
  production of carnosine, which counteracts the
  fatiguing effects of lactic acidosis.
