O
K all you “Jocks” here is what you have been looking for!
Good solid factual information about products that will actually improve your workout, whether in the gym or doing some other active sport.
Lets start with something basic that everyone who participates in an active aerobic or anaerobic activity needs. What’s that you ask? A good high quality protein supplement.
What follows is a list of some really great products that I have found to be awesome.
By the way, now that I have mentioned me, let me introduce myself. My name is Dr. Bob and my wife Linda and I are very active. We work out, we play tennis and we love to snow ski; so that having an excellent diet and having excellent supplements to keep us fit and healthy is very important to us.
So lets get to the point. Here are some products that we swear by and we think you will too. Here’s what you should look for in supplements for your active life.
1) A high grade scientific blend of enzymatically Pre-Digested Whey Protein, that actually tastes good. Why do you need supplemental protein? Simple. When you actively exercise your body you are breaking down muscle protein, so you need extra protein to combat this catabolic muscle breakdown and promote the opposite which is an anabolic muscle growth and development. Why pre-digested Whey protein? Because it is the best and easiest to be absorbed quickly into your system for best results.
2) Ciwujia: This funny sounding Chinese herb is our best friend and it will be yours as well, once you try it. Recent studies published in “Nutrition Science News” demonstrated scientifically that Ciwujia actually causes your body to preferentially burn fat as an energy source over carbohydrates (sugars) with the result that your body produces much less Lactic Acid when you exercise causing you to have much less muscle fatigue, cramping, soreness & stiffness. You will be amazed at your increased performance, stamina and endurance. When we first tried it, was when we were skiing and we were amazed at the difference it made in our legs. We were able to ski from the top of the mountain to the base without once stopping.
3) Creatine Monohydrate: This is particularly good for those who want to build up their skeletal musculature, but it is healthy for even those who just want to keep their muscles healthy and toned. Along with this it is good to supplement with high quality amino acids (which are the building blocks of protein…for those of you who did not know this) such as L- leucine, L-isoleucine, and L-valine.
4) Omega 3: Almost everyone knows how good Omega 3 is for you, but it is particularly good for the athlete. Why? Because it promotes joint health, it is a potent anti-inflammatory helping to cut down on post exercise soreness, it is heart healthy, reducing the incidence of heart attacks and fatal cardiac arrhythmias, and it helps reduce blood pressure and promotes healthy blood vessels by favoring the good cholesterol (HDL) over the bad cholesterol (LDL).
5) CoQ10: This all important body enzyme is essential in providing your body with the main source of energy, Adenosinetriphosphate (ATP). A recent study in Australia showed that elite athletes who took supplemental CoQ10 performed at a higher level, had less fatigue and less post exercise discomfort. The study was performed using the new, recently formulated Ubiquinol CoQ10 in place of the older and less effective Ubiquinone. On a personal level, we absolutely love these last two products and we take them every day, together. The reason for this is that CoQ10 is lipid soluble an is absorbed more effectively when there is fat present. Omega 3 is a fatty acid and so taking them at the same time increases the effectiveness of both.
6) Amino Acids: Also, having a good source and supply of high grade targeted amino acids is a good thing for anyone who is physically active and who wants to protect and improve their body.
7) Antioxidants: Lastly don’t forget a good source of antioxidants such as Vitamin E, Bee Pollen and our friend CoQ10 which has excellent antioxidant properties.
So, now that you know about what supplements to take to keep you body healthy while you exercise…what are you waiting for? Get in the car and go to your favorite health food store and stock up!
