Discover our new range of food supplements to improve muscle performance during and after exercise. Do you train regularly to build muscle mass, but get little or no results? Perhaps dietary supplements are a good option for you.
Due to the unique nature of our bodies, some athletes will react differently to certain supplements. Despite these differences, there are a number of supplements that stand out.
A few tips to promote muscle well-being:
Protein powders
Proteins such as whey or casein are a must for athletes looking to build muscle mass. Rich in essential amino acids, they help repair muscle fibres damaged during training and stimulate growth. Whey, which is particularly quick to digest, is ideal after an intense session, while casein, which is slow to digest, is perfect before bedtime for prolonged recovery.
Creatine
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most studied and effective supplements for improving strength, power and muscular endurance. It works by increasing phosphocreatine reserves in muscles, enabling them to produce energy rapidly during explosive efforts. This supplement is particularly suited to high-intensity training or sports requiring maximum performance over a short period of time.
BCAAs (branched-chain amino acids)
Made up of leucine, isoleucine and valine, BCAAs are essential for stimulating protein synthesis and limiting muscle breakdown during exercise. They are particularly useful for prolonged or intense training sessions, when energy reserves are rapidly depleted. Leucine, in particular, plays a key role in activating the metabolic pathways responsible for muscle growth.
Performance boosters and pre-workouts
Certain supplements, such as pre-workouts based on caffeine, beta-alanine or citrulline malate, help boost energy, concentration and endurance during exercise. These formulas help to push back the limits of fatigue and maximize performance during the most demanding training sessions.
Creatine is a naturally occurring substance found mainly in skeletal muscle tissue, where around 95% of the human body's creatine supply can be found. The rest is stored in the rest of the body. This natural metabolite has been reproduced in the form of creatine monohydrate for dietary supplement purposes. It is used for cellular energy production.
Whey is generally taken before and after a workout to enhance muscle recovery and recuperation. If you're on a goal to gain muscle mass or concerned about losing body fat, taking whey protein supplements as part of an exercise program can accelerate the desired gains.
The body uses BCAAs to help muscles recover. Like a whey protein supplement, BCAAs will drive nutrients to muscle tissue, enabling better recovery after training. The body will naturally burn BCAAs during exercise, so taking a supplement can restore the same nutrients lost during intense exercise. This supplement also reduces muscle fatigue pain and improves metabolic recovery.
Glutamine is touted for its ability to slow the breakdown of muscle tissue during intensive exercise, and can help improve resistance and endurance thresholds. Those who consume it will find they can lift heavier weights for longer periods and more often.
Magnesium promotes normal muscle function. Some of our dietary supplements contain a form of magnesium salts from the Dead Sea, as well as vitamins E and B6. These dietary supplements are recommended for people prone to involuntary muscle contractions occurring at rest (night) or after intense or prolonged physical exercise.
Muscle spasms are similar to muscle contractures or cramps. In fact, it's a form of prolonged cramp, with the muscle contracting suddenly and involuntarily.
Thanks to the sports supplements recommended by our expert pharmacists, you can promote muscle growth. You'll find products in capsule or flavored powder form for muscle development and mass gain. These are organic-quality products for intense physical activity.
