Answer 3

Protein powder is almost essential when working out if you want to gain muscle mass. This works for both men and women, but men are the primary ones who use it. My husband has been using it most of his life, and he is a certified fitness trainer. I hope this helps. Good luck.

Answer 4

HMB: Beta-hydroxy beta-methylbutyrate
·metabolite of the amino acid leucine
·inhibits protein degradation and increases lipid metabolism
·does appear to increase lean body mass increases while decreasing fat

Whey Protein: If building muscle mass – need 1 to 1.5 gram/lb/day
·Whey protein is one of the best “supplemental” forms of protein
·has the best amino acid make-up
·supports the immune system (increases function)
·increases the amount of glutathione (anti-oxidant)

Glutamine: an amino acid
·prevents muscle wasting (medical settings)
·is used by our bodies in immune system, kidneys, liver, pancreas
·“nitrogen transporter” allowing ammonia to be removed from cells
·assists glutathione in anti-oxidation


Caffeine: a form of stimulant found in coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.
·330 mg of caffeine (legal under IOC rules) 60 min prior to exercise caused significant increases in time of exercise (90 min vs 75 min)
·causes an increase in fat use for fuel
·the above mentioned caffeine benefits are not found in regular caffeine users

Carbohydrate Loading: ingesting large amounts of carbs in pre & post-exercise drinks/meals
·replace and/or increase muscle glycogen content
·allows for faster recovery
·allows for greater energy at next exercise session

Chromium Picolinate: supposed to burn fat and build muscle
·no scientific data to support claims

Vanadyl Sulfate: supposed to burn fat and build muscle
·scientific data shows only increases insulin release



If you have a store around you called the Vitamine Shoppe or GNC if you ask the people that work there, they should know what would be better for you. :D
Hope I helped!
