Is Protein Necessary for those who train, as well as for people who do not engage in sports, and should protein be used during muscle mass gain or weight loss?

Initially, I intended to write an article addressing the question of whether what we call sports nutrition is necessary or not.

But since it turned out to be quite large, I decided to break it into several parts.

This part is dedicated to powdered protein, or protein shakes, if that is more convenient.

L-carnitine can already be called a trend in the world of sports nutrition: a genuinely useful supplement is attributed with some mythical properties.

Customers expect a miracle, and when they don't see one, they get disappointed and push the supplement to the back of their memory, considering it completely useless.

This is exactly what happened with the hero of my article today: L-carnitine suddenly started being marketed as a "fat burner," but frankly speaking, it turned out to be a poor fat burner. As a result, the genuinely useful properties of this supplement have been gradually forgotten.

DHEA – is one of those supplements that are taken not by those who really need them, and not in the situations where they can be truly beneficial.

In this brief review, we will try to address this issue.

Many sports supplements are shrouded in legends: rumors attribute to them properties unattainable for pharmaceutical drugs, which can magically solve all your problems.

One such supplement is ZMA, a complex that includes two minerals and one vitamin. What is so special about it? Just take 5 minutes of your time, and you will find out.

A brief guide to one of the most popular fat burners. This discussion will focus on ECA.

You probably know that the main component of this complex is ephedrine.

Firstly, it's important to note that ephedrine and ephedra are not the same. The former is the name of a plant that contains the alkaloid ephedrine.

Reviews You can read some reviews about ECA at the bottom of the page in the comments. If you have experience using ECA, please also write your review; it will be very helpful. Go to comments

Everyone knows creatine. Many people use it periodically or even constantly.

However, the effect of this supplement is felt by "every other person" – such is its "character". Meanwhile, there is a supplement that, in many ways, replicates the action of creatine.

And, most interestingly, it is more effective. Its name is beta-alanine.

I realized that I very rarely publish articles about selective androgen receptor modulators (SARMs).

I will correct this, although the drug I am going to discuss in this article is not exactly a SARM. However, it is often sold within this group of drugs.

We usually mention cortisol in the context of muscles, muscle tissue, and call it the "destructive hormone."

In this article, I propose to discuss the effect of cortisol on adipose tissue. This discussion promises to be all the more interesting because its influence cannot be unequivocally characterized.

The name "agmatine" was coined by the discoverer of this substance – Ludwig Karl Martin Leonhard Albrecht Kossel.

This name is a complex abbreviation, the chemical name of the substance is slightly different – (4-aminobutyl) guanidine, and the substance itself is a natural derivative of arginine.

L-arginine is a very popular supplement. Its main purpose is to stimulate blood flow.

This makes arginine beneficial for those planning to have a good workout, as well as for men and women suffering from heart and vascular problems.
