TRAINING SUPPLEMENTS

There are a variety of supplement categories we can look at to support our training, health and recovery if we’re after optimal results and performance, to cope with the training load and to recover well.

In general, the more superior our nutrition, the less we will need supplementation. However there are times we need the extra support and replenishment. Even on a superior nutrition meal plan, the body may be deficient from a previous lifestyle and poor nutrition. High stress levels and extreme training load also lead to deficiencies or greater demand for support.

So some of these are as follows:

Starting from the beginning of the day, if we’re training in the morning and wanting or needing a stimulant to support our output we can use a pre-workout formula. Depending on the blend we can also add amino acids like creatine, citrulline, carnitine or alanine to enhance performance, output, vasodilation, fat transportation, blood flow, nitric oxide, elevate endurance, combat muscle fatigue and buffer lactic-acid.

Post training we have a number of recovery, rehydration and repair supplements we can consider for optimal post training results. After training we have glutamine, BCAAs and electrolytes as our main supps to consider. We have protein powder too of course remembering protein from foods are superior to supplementation, however protein in liquid form is sometimes more convenient and necessary and preferable to no fuel at all.

When we look at later on in the day and prior to bed we have a number of relaxing formulas we can benefit from before bedtime. Adrenal formulas and Sleep formulas work on the parasympathetic nervous system and help to reduce stress and improve relaxation and aid in deep and beneficial sleep after a big day and prior to bed.

In between these categories we have many other supportive options such as hormonal support, mood elevators, collagen, iron boosters etc.
