Energy Supplements
Energy is the key to a Training Sessions success. Without it we can’t achieve the results we crave, which is why energy supplements are so popular in the bodybuilding industry today. There are various forms of energy supplements available, ranging from stimulants such as caffeine to herbal options such as ginseng and Vitamins.
The body produces its natural store of energy by breaking down the food we consume into simpler forms such as glucose, vitamins, Amino Acids and other nutrients. For example, Carbohydrates such as bread, pasta and Rice will be broken down and converted into glucose, which will then be used by the body for energy. Bodybuilders and athletes quite commonly use energy supplements as it is near impossible to consume enough food to produce energy for such hard training sessions. While many energy supplements assist in recovery, stacking them with muscle repair supplements such as Protein Blends, Whey Protein or other Protein Powder Supplements will enhance over all results.
Below is an overview of popular energy supplements on the market today.
Stimulants: These supplements usually contain ingredients such as caffeine & synephrine (previously ephedrine before being banned) and have been praised for including the added benefit of Fat Loss. Stimulants offer a great burst of energy and also increase metabolism, thus causing the user to burn calories faster. Stimulants will keep you alert both physically and mentally and help you get the most out of your training session. When using stimulant based energy supplements it’s best to stick to the label’s recommended dosage, as an overdose could lead to negative side effects.
Carbohydrates: Composed of carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, carbohydrates are one of the body’s three natural energy sources along with Proteins and fats. Carbohydrates are often cited as a natural source of physical energy, but they also provide mental energy to the brain. Their function does not stop here - many types of carbohydrates also contain fibre, which maintains healthy metabolism and bowel movements. A gruelling training session can burn through the body’s store of glycogen, which is why it is normal to feel tired, or even exhausted after a workout. For people such as athletes and strength trainers who regularly participate in hard exercise, it is not always possible to consume enough carbohydrates in a day. This is why many turn to carbohydrate supplements to avoid poor performance and fatigue and increase energy.
Herbal Energy: Herbal energy supplements contain natural energy boosters such as the herb ginseng, green tea extract and cayenne. Most herbal energy supplements will increase metabolism rate as well as provide the user with a boost for their workout. Ginseng is typically the main ingredient in such supplements. Used as a herbal energy source for many years, ginseng has also been known to elevate mood, enhance endurance, improve immune functions and speed up recovery time after a workout. Recommended ginseng dosage is about 1 to 2 grams daily. It should not be taken by pregnant women or people with high blood pressure.
Energy Drinks: Energy Drinks not only help athletes hydrate after exercise but also provide electrolytes, sugar and other nutrients that can be depleted during physical exertion. As carbohydrates burn quickly during exercise they need to be replaced in order to keep up energy levels. Sports Drinks containing simple carbohydrates help to fuel the body with a rapid energy boost. Electrolytes contain many of the essential minerals that are lost through sweat during exercise including Sodium, Potassium, Calcium, Magnesium, Chloride, Bicarbonate, Phosphate and Sulphate. There are three main types of sports drinks on the market; Isotonic, Hypertonic and Hypotonic. During exercise sports drinks are ideal for replacing lost fluids and increasing energy. After exercise sports drinks can increase the rate of rehydration and replenish essential minerals lost through sweating.
Endurance Enhancers: Supplements that increase levels of endurance and V02 max include well known products such as Energy Gels, Creatines including Creatine Ethyl Ester or Creatine Monohydrate, HMB and various Amino Acid's including BCAA's. Basically, these supplements ensure that oxygen consumption levels are at their best, thus providing a longer lasting and more successful workout to the user. Other benefits include lifting Nitric Oxide levels and reducing lactic acid levels within the body.
