There are literally hundreds (if not thousands) of types and brands of nutritional supplements on the market. So what are the best supplements out there? Well, that really depends on what your health and fitness goals are.
Today I’m going to list the top 10 nutritional supplements that can be beneficial no matter what your goals are! Here’s the list:
Top 10 Nutritional Supplements:
- Whey Protein
Whey protein is the best form of protein available to us. It has the highest bio-availability (BV), almost no fat, a complete amino acid profile and is the fastest digesting of all protein sources. Whey is not only one of the best supplements available, but it’s also the most widely used.
- A Good Multivitamin
Never underestimate the importance of a good daily multi. I am not talking about what you buy in the supermarkets either, those low-budget multivitamins has a very poor absorption rate, making them very ineffective. A good example of a solid multi product is Animal Pak. Animal pack has a lot more pills to take daily, but it’s well worth it!
- EFA Oils
EFA stands for essential fatty acids. EFAs are extremely important for a whole array of health aspects. Studies have shown that only 1 in 20 Americans gets enough EFAs from their diet alone. EFA oil supplements contain a rich blend of omega-3, omega-6 and omega-9 and can easily be added to foods. Products like Udo’s Essential Oils are the best way to get your daily dose of EFAs.
- Glutamine
Glutamine is the body’s most abundant amino acid. It plays a key role in muscle repair and recovery and is used by many athletes…from strength to endurance. Glutamine is also the main fuel source for the immune system. If your glutamine levels are low, your immune system suffers almost immediately. Glutamine is not only good for sport, but preventing diseases and common illnesses.
- Creatine
Creatine is a wonder supplement for sports requiring muscle growth, strength or explosive power! It’s 100% natural and can play a huge role in increasing strength and muscle size. Creatine was even the most popular supplements used by athletes at the Olympics!
- Vitamin C
Most of us don’t get enough vitamin C. A simple daily supplement is all that’s required. Unlike some vitamin supplements, any good brand of vitamin C supplement will give you the required RDA of vitamin C.
- Amino Acids
Amino acids are the building blocks of protein and are absolutely essential for muscle growth. Numerous studies have proven that supplementing with amino acids can rapidly increase lean muscle growth and shorten recovery times. Amino acids supplements are cheap and recommended for most sports people.
- Protein/Nutritional Bars
Healthy snacks are usually never available to most of us during the work day. Protein bars provide a tasty snack, which providing the nutrients you would usually find in a small meal. Whether you’re trying to lose weight, gain weight, or just stay healthy you can benefit from these bars.
- Flavorless Protein Powder
This new product makes the list because it can be added to just about any food to increase the protein content. The flavorless whey protein has practically no fat or lactose and is tasteless. You can add it to muffins, cookies, cakes, cereal, shakes and more!
- Meal Replacement Shakes
Skipping meals is almost as bad is eating unhealthy food. Meal replacements are literally a meal in a drink. You can get different types based on your goal, to lose weight, stay healthy or gain weight. These products have come a long way, they are now cheaper and taste much better!
