Exercise Supplements
Amino Acids
Amino acids are the chemical building blocks of protein and used widely by the body. They are divided into two classes: essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids are those that your body cannot produce on its own and must be consumed through diet or supplementation. Non essential amino acids are those that can be manufactured by the liver.
Some studies have shown that amino acid supplementation may help to stimulate the body's production of growth hormone and generally help in production of fat free muscle mass.
Creatine
Creatine is a substance found naturally in the body that supplies energy to cells in the body, particularly the muscle cells. It is generally considered a safe and effective supplement though it should be avoided by those with kidney disease.
Creatine is available in powder form to be mixed into a drink or as capsules. Studies have shown it can help to increase muscle mass and help to improve performance in anaerobic exercise. Those with Kidney disease should avoid Creatine, and to help avoid a muscle cramping side effect, trainers should stay well hydrated by drinking plenty of fluids.
