Supplements - legal doping?

In almost every shop they are at the beginning and a drop in the eye. Are you already part and parcel of a sports magazine and even appear in many television commercials during bodybuilding competitions. Leaving from a fitness coach to advise in a studio, he mentioned it in every other sentence and recommend them as a supporting agent in weight training. We are talking about the so-called "supplements" like bulk whey protein concentrate , which - according to the all - the magic bullet for perfect muscle body.


The magic of the sports business - are they really?

Supplements about everyone knows, only the general term (supplements) is not any art. Translated the word means "food supplement". However, the truth of the first view, to set under the technical term provides only vitamin and mineral supplements that reflect the athlete after the successful and hard training and a lack of the necessary materials for recovery. Rather, these funds will complement and support athletes - mostly bodybuilders - who wants to increase the use of these funds, the performance during and between workouts.

The range is very wide, funding for more muscle mass than fat degrading to resources required for a better recovery in the muscle and thus ensure a better muscle growth.
In contrast to the well-known steroids (anabolic steroids), this means, however, legal, and free for everyone to buy in retail.


Inexperienced athletes will be tempted to advertising

If you look in a shop, the means are often already at the entrance, beckoning him with large markings for sale. So it seems to the inexperienced athletes, as this would be a safe and promising way to get a beautiful and shapely body.

For this reason, these supplements are also offered safe and sold, but hardly anyone really knows what effect this means and, above all, what dangers they pose to themselves. The error often begins at it, that the dosage that is prescribed and should not be exceeded, not observed or are not even known.

Probably the best known food supplements are creatine, L-glutamine and L-carnitine. And the "BCCA amino" - - However, substances ingested by professional bodybuilders, the so-called "whey protein" are.

Creatine is an endogenous substance. During strength training of the energy source ATP to ADP and a phosphate moiety is cleaved. The creatine present in the body synthesizes these products back to ATP so that the body is once again available energy (simple terms). Since the body but produces much less creatine than he could consume a day, you can increase an additional intake of creatine, the muscle activity during the strength training, so that more power and thus more muscle growth can be achieved.

In addition, due to the increased intake of creatine, more water is stored in the muscle (which is because more sodium and chloride gets into the muscle, leading to water retention
respectively), so that the muscle still appears bulky and stronger, but this is a delusion.
During the weight training the muscle is damaged, that is weakened (catabolic effect). In catabolic situations, the cell poison, ammonia is formed, the muscle is not doing well and above all the muscle building process (anabolic effect) prevents. The body alone takes a long time to eliminate these substances.


L-glutamine degrades cell poison and help obese people

L-glutamine counteracts this effect by the cell toxin rapidly degrades the body and thus a more anabolic begrudge phase, which also leads to a better muscle growth. L-carnitine is an even a term, but he appeared in some diet products. In short, you could say that L-carnitine carries fat from the fat depot to the muscles that need it straight and thus enable better muscle growth. That is why there is glutamine powder for sale to you.

This means bringing only what people who are by nature rather corpulent and show one or the other fat depot can. People who are more lean and wiry, must take the necessary fat in the diet in the form of carbohydrates (L-carnitine would be of anything).


Unknown Supplements: Natural building materials

Now for the little-known but equally important supplements, the whey proteins and amino BCCA. Immediately before and after exercise, the body is very much needed protein to the muscles. "Whey" is English. and means whey protein. This is a waste product that accumulates in cheese production. Due to its natural molecular structure, it can be absorbed very quickly and efficiently from the gastrointestinal tract. A Whey protein is the most effective and highest quality protein that man naturally can eat. This promotes muscle growth in a natural way and white people.

BCCA amino-essential amino acids that can be absorbed by the body very quickly because they do not like the proteins must first be digested and broken down, but can be directly absorbed by the muscle. Also as with the whey protein, this is a possibility of inclusion, natural building structures for the muscle.




Bergen Supplements and threats?

Now, think they think they are wonderful, I take it, "because it sounds very tempting and healthy. However, these agents also contain very many side effects and long-term damage, which are not yet proven in part, but because of reports to be feared and suspected.

For example, there is creatine a strong suspicion that it is on the heart, liver and kidney adverse effect and there are also cases of creatine users are known in which kidney problems have occurred, and this only after discontinuation of creatine and medical treatment again the handle had to get.


Only with whey proteins are no side effects fears

A longer-term use of L-carnitine performs just as with creatine to decrease the body's own production. This is very dangerous because the body is dependent on the external administration of the substances then. Those who can not do without the intake of BCAAs to be reckoned with symptoms of gastro-intestinal tract, and with strong wind.

Side effects of L-glutamine are not yet known, but there are some researchers fear that Alzheimer's could be a danger, as was seen in Alzheimer's patients, an increased heavy metal content in the brain, and there are fears that the degradation of glutamine these heavy metals may occur. However, these are still only venture guesses.
The only way in which it has no side effects and suspected the whey proteins, but you should know that these supplements typically provides 20 times the amount of substances the body, as it produces normal, and that, therefore, supplements general under fire is you can stand it.
