 As everyone is well aware, there are hundreds or even thousands of fitness and health supplements out on the market. As a result, it can be overwhelming when deciding what products to buy, or if you should buy any at all. Protein Powder Let's start off with a basic protein powder. Protein powders are nothing more than just meal supplements that help ensure you receive quality proteins. This is especially helpful for people that have busy lifestyles and are always on the move. However, they are not meal replacements and don't have any magical ingredients that will just magically bulk you up. Protein is the building block of the body and helps muscles recover from rigorous training. So whether you are training to build muscle, build strength, or to lose weight, protein powder will help but it won't be the deciding factor. The body does not just run on protein which means you still have to eat real, high quality foods in order to receive other important nutrients. With that being said, not all protein powders are made equally. The general rule of thumb I give out to clients when selecting a protein powder is the length of the ingredients list. The less ingredients, the better the quality. The next step is to check what ingredients are used in the product. Some red flags to avoid are ingredients such as: Magnesium stearate carrageenan artificial sweeteners coconut flour psyllium vegetable oils dextrin/glucose soy protein milk powders. These ingredients are either used as fillers or just plain bad for you and indicate a low quality protein. The best type of protein to take after a workout is whey protein due to its great absorption rate with New Zealand whey being the highest quality. On the other hand, the best type of protein to take right before bed is casein protein due to its much slower absorption rate. The idea is that the casein protein will slowly and consistently feed your muscles throughout the night while sleeping, which is when your body is actually recovering. Weight/Mass Gainers: Weight gainers are basically protein powders with the exception of being much, much higher in carbohydrates than protein powders. The thing with weight gainers is that most of them have high sugar contents because "the body needs the carbs to be absorbed as quickly as possible for optimal results after a rigorous workout". Although the statement is true, the use of sugar is still not justified. You're much better off having some fruit after a workout as your source of simple carbs. Therefore, when choosing a weight gainer, the same rules as choosing a protein powder apply with the addition of finding a product that has a high carbohydrates content with a low sugar content. Also, you want to make sure that the carbs are coming from good foods such as sweet potatoes or oats as an example.
