1.) Creatine – by helping to keep muscular ATP (adenosine triphosphate) stores high, creatine increases performance during anaerobic activity (such as weight lifting) which means increased strength as well as muscle.
2.) Fish oil – omega 3 (EPA/DHA) are essential polyunsaturated fatty acids and play numerous important health roles such as improved heart and cardiovascular health, anti-inflammatory properties and increased insulin sensitivity.
3.) Green tea (metabotrop) - aside from the many health benefits - including being an excellent antioxidant as well as an anticarcinogen - green tea has a host of powerful effects that make it very helpful for dieting. This includes burning fat directly via beta oxidation, increases metabolism and improving insulin sensitivity and glucose tolerance. Green tea is also in a class of natural substances known as adaptogens. Adaptogens are known for their ability to help the body combat stress and fatigue as well as maintain homeostasis and well-being.
4.) Whey/casein – easy, inexpensive “insurance” to make sure protein requirements are met. This is crucial for success both in gaining muscle/strength and also preserving it while dieting. A blend of whey and casein ensures an optimal blend of both faster and slower digesting proteins.
5.) Multi-vitamin/mineral– easy, inexpensive “insurance” to make sure all needs are met – important because many lifters neglect eating an array of fruits and vegetables.
