Course content
• Creatine Monohydrate: Essential for increasing muscle strength and power, creatine supplementation has been shown to improve muscle function and endurance. •
• Protein Powder: A primary source of protein for muscle growth and repair, protein powder is often used by athletes and bodybuilders to support muscle strength gains. •
• Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs): Leucine, isoleucine, and valine, BCAAs can help reduce muscle soreness and fatigue, allowing for more intense workouts and improved muscle strength. •
• HMB (beta-Hydroxy beta-Methylbutyrate): A metabolite of the amino acid leucine, HMB has been shown to reduce muscle damage and soreness, supporting muscle strength and recovery. •
• L-Glutamine: An amino acid that supports immune function and muscle recovery, L-glutamine may also help reduce muscle soreness and fatigue. •
• L-Carnitine: An amino acid that plays a role in energy production, L-carnitine may help improve muscle endurance and strength during high-intensity exercise. •
• Beta-Alanine: A non-essential amino acid, beta-alanine can help increase muscle carnosine levels, delaying the onset of fatigue and improving high-intensity exercise performance. •
