The new year is the perfect time to reset your physical health and get active again. When planning and achieving your fitness goals, what you put into your body is just as important as how you work out. You need to revamp your diet to complement your training routine and improve your fitness results.

Therefore, whether you’re looking to build muscle, lose weight, or get fit and healthier, you can incorporate a few essential nutrients into your eating and lifestyle habits.

Here are five foods and supplements to introduce to your 2023 fitness journey:

  1. Mushroom Extract Supplements

While mushrooms have been used as traditional medicine in eastern cultures for millennia, their use as a food supplement has gained traction in other parts of the world over the past couple of years. Mushrooms are technically fungi but are considered vegetables for food and culinary purposes. To make the most of their nutritional benefits, consider taking supplements containing potent compounds extracted from mushrooms in concentrated form.

Mushrooms are noted for their anti-inflammatory, anti-bacterial, and antioxidant properties. These make them a valuable option for combating health conditions related to colds and allergies while giving you more energy to stay healthy and work out for longer. Additionally, you can consume the extracts in many forms, such as capsules, powders, or gummies from Mushroom Revival that suit your fitness habits.

  1. Varied Fruits And Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables contain many micronutrients to promote a healthy lifestyle and support your fitness goals. They are rich in fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that keep your body functioning optimally. Moreover, they are packed with natural sugars such as glucose, and many are water-based. These properties make them perfect for fueling your workouts.

Sports nutritionists recommend eating a wide variety of fruits and vegetables to gain the most benefits. This is especially true for those with deep, dark, and bright colors, such as blueberries, spinach, watermelon, grapes, bananas, and peppers. The simplest way to incorporate more fruits and vegetables into your diet is by blending them into a smoothie or adding an assortment to your morning bowl of oatmeal or cereal.

  1. Creatine Supplements

If building muscle and improving bodily strength is part of your fitness goals this year, you can take advantage of creatine supplements. Creatine is an organic compound found naturally in muscle cells and works similarly to amino acids that help build your body’s protein and energize these cells.

Most people get creatine from high-protein foods, while the rest is produced in the kidneys and liver. It can also be taken as a supplement to raise the amount stored in your body. Thus, taking creatine supplements can help you power through high-intensity exercise, enhance athletic performance, and increase muscle mass through cell hydration and protein production. Furthermore, creatine can be consumed with water post-workout.

  1. Fish Oil Supplements

When it comes to good fats in foods that contribute to training and exercise, it doesn’t get any better than fish oils. These are oils naturally found in fish such as mackerel, tuna, and salmon. They’re also high in omega-3 fatty acids.

Bodybuilders and gym enthusiasts commonly take fish oil supplements because these are known to be effective in reducing fatigue and symptoms of delayed onset muscle soreness (DOMS) after a workout. This makes them the go-to supplements for muscle and injury recovery.

Furthermore, ongoing studies have shown that fish oils could improve your heart health and oxygen usage when you’re active, boosting your performance further.

  1. Vitamin D Supplements

Vitamin D is another essential nutrient you need to get enough of to help your fitness journey. It has immense health benefits for individuals stepping up their training regimen, which is why many athletes focus on improving their vitamin D intake combined with calcium.

Doing this can support bone health and strength, improving muscle functions while boosting exercise capacity and safeguarding heart health. The best sources are salmon, sardines, egg yolks, red meat, and cow’s milk.

However, you may opt for vitamin D supplements if you struggle to get the right amount from food alone since it’s a common deficiency. The recommended intake is 400-4,000 IU daily, depending on several biological and environmental factors.

Conclusion

The best foods and supplements to introduce to your 2023 fitness journey contain a diverse range of nutrients that are known to optimize your training, help build muscles, and contribute to overall health.

These include proteins, amino acids, vitamins, healthy fats and oils, and micronutrients. You can approach each from its primary food source or take supplements in a form that suits your preference. Doing this can set you on the right path to achieving your fitness goals.

What is a Mushroom Gummy?

When you hear about mushroom edibles, including gummies, the first that comes to mind may be “magic mushrooms,” psychedelics, THC, CBD, or cannabis. However, at Mushroom Revival, we want to change this mindset.

When you think about mushroom edibles like our mushroom gummies, we hope thoughts of health, clarity, and comfort come to mind. Why? Mushrooms are one of the world’s most powerful functional agents. And when they’re in gummy form, they’re more accessible and convenient to many people that could use the benefits of mushrooms. Not only that but they are freaking delicious.

Our experts are redefining how healthy functional mushroom gummies can be with our latest line of ‘shroom treats. Want to learn more? This article will help you learn the ins and outs of mushroom gummies including why our products are the best choice for your fungi supplements.

What Exactly Is a Mushroom Extract Gummy?

Gummies are the latest new product in the world of nutrition and supplements. A mushroom extract gummy is a mushroom supplement that is chewable made from a vegan pectin base (as opposed to a non vegan gelatin base) mixed with mushroom extracts and organic flavor additives. Most gummies come in fun fruity flavours (often from citric acid), making taking daily mushrooms as easy and tasty as taking your vitamins. If you like raspberry flavor candy or other fruity flavors, you’ll love mushroom gummies.

Our mushroom gummies are 100% vegan, certified USDA organic, and gluten-free. We use pectin instead of gelatin, which is better for the Earth and better for you. Another fun fact about pectin is they hold up better in high heat avoiding the gummies from sticking together when shipping in the summer. We also use a dual-extraction method for our mushrooms to ensure our gummies provide you with the highest potency of mushrooms. And we only use mushroom fruiting bodies instead of the significantly less potent mycelium on grain. We not only want to make super delicious treats, but ones that actually pack a healthy punch and actually work.

What is Mushroom Extract?

You may have wondered why mushroom extracts are such a popular form of functional mushrooms. Why not just eat your fill of fungi? Well, whole mushrooms don’t provide the body with the same benefits since the cell walls of mushrooms are a substance called “chitin.” Our bodies have a hard time breaking down chitin, so the process of extraction pulls the beneficial compounds from the mushrooms, so our bodies can reap all the benefits without having to do any work.

Imagine making mushroom soup or tea. As the mushroom sits in the hot water, it begins to release its flavor–well, this flavor comes from the mushroom’s oils and other compounds. If you were to remove the solid mushrooms, you would still enjoy the benefits from the compounds that have blended with the water.

How Does Mushroom Revival Produce Their Mushroom Extracts?

We use a dual extraction method, which first pulls the compounds from the mushroom using alcohol then water. The alcohol and water are then evaporated off and the potent functional compounds left over are incorporated into the gummy matrix. This makes our products more potent since not all compounds are water-soluble and not all are alcohol-soluble. Aka – your body is getting all the good stuff!

What are Fruiting Bodies?

There are two main parts to a functional fungus: the fruiting body and the mycelium. The mycelium is essentially the roots of the mushroom and the fruiting body is the part that sticks up out of the soil or off the tree or in other words, the actual mushroom.

The fruiting bodies of fungi or in other words mushrooms have proven to be more potent and chemically more beneficial than the mycelium. However, many companies try to cut corners by growing the roots of the mushrooms or mycelium on grains and not using any mushrooms at all. The final product ends up being 80-90% starch fillers and almost void of the main beneficial compounds you want and need. This is a much quicker and cheaper way to produce and this results in a subpar product that is much less effective. At Mushroom Revival we only use fruiting bodies, aka actual mushrooms, so you can rest assured that you’re always getting the good stuff!

How Are Mushroom Gummies Made?

Have you ever watched Willie Wonka and the Chocolate Factory? Well, we would love to say that our production of mushroom extract gummies is as colorful, exciting, and musical. However, we do feel all of our employees have that same sparkle in their eyes as Mr. Wonka himself. Not going to lie, working with mushrooms is far more exciting than working in a cubicle, so it’s not hard to have a sparkle in your eye! We make our gummies with extraordinary passion and attention to detail. Here’s how it works:

  • We ethically source our 100% USDA certified organic, non-GMO mushrooms from our partner mushroom farms
  • Then our team extracts the highest quality compounds through dual extraction and has these extractions 3rd party lab tested for quality and so that you know what the beneficial compounds are. We actually have these lab results transparent on our site on on a QR code on the products so you can see them yourself!
  • We blend the mushroom extracts with pectin and yummy flavors.
  • The liquid mix gets poured into molds to set up.
  •  After the gummies transform from liquid to gummies, we package the delicious gummies in super clean, third party audited, credited, and certified facilities and prepare them for shipping.
  • You eat them, you say “Holy Sh!t these are amazing”, you have to force yourself not to eat the whole bag the first day…you revive your health!


What Are the Benefits of Mushroom Extract Gummies?

There are a wide array of reasons that people can use mushroom gummies for. Most often, they’re seeking holistic health benefits.** Mushrooms have been used by Eastern herbalists for centuries to help support overall wellness.*

Here are the most common uses of functional mushroom gummies:

Mental Clarity and Nootropic Support

Need help cutting through the fog to stay focused? People often describe mushrooms as “brain food.” Why? Because they may support blood circulation, including that to the brain.** This leads to feeling brighter and experiencing greater focus. Often, Lion’s Mane mushroom is a favorite for concentration, improved memory, and better mood.**

“Nootropics” is just a fancy way of saying it supports optimal brain function by the way.*  Many people believe nootropics can help promote creativity, energy, and clarity.*

Energy Levels and Vitality

Many of the micronutrients in mushrooms may promote healthy energy levels.** This is likely because cordyceps contain compounds such as cordycepin and adenosine which play a crucial role in adenosine triphosphate (ATP) production – aka energy production on a cellular level.**

Adaptogens

Another fancy word, right? As with nootropic, “adaptogen” is just a new way of saying plants and fungi help in supporting homeostasis within the body.** All that being said, many mushrooms work to support defense against occasional agitation and mental tension. In the long run, this helps the body better adapt to occasional situations that can cause worry or nervousness like when your in-laws ask you about your salary. But seriously, adaptogenic mushrooms help you to function better with mind and body support–it’s why they’re called “functional” mushrooms.*

Turkey tail, Reishi, Lion’s Mane and other functional mushrooms are often considered adaptogenic royalty.

Calming

The pace and pressures of modern life can be counterproductive to our moods, relationships, and work-life. Many mushrooms may promote greater calmness to help combat 21st-century demands. Reishi and Chaga are two top contenders in this category to support stress relief.

Immune Support

Most mushrooms are packed with 1,3 / 1,6 beta-glucans which may help promote a healthy immune system. 1,3 / 1,6 beta-glucans also play a vital role in cell function and cell turnover.*

What Kinds of Gummies Best Suit My Needs?

When it comes to choosing a mushroom gummy, you’ll want to compare the varieties that go into it. You’ll find some gummies have only one mushroom type while others have a blend that works well together.

Reishi

The Reishi mushroom is prized in Chinese herbalism for supporting vitality, longevity, and immune system response.** It may also support an overall feeling of calm while fortifying your defense against environmental changes and seasonal transitions.** Check out our Reishi Calm Mushroom Gummies!

Cordyceps

Cordyceps is often used to balance out Reishi as a nice compliment. Cordyceps supports brightness and energy.** This mushroom may also assist with the body’s response to occasional stress.** Take a look at our Cordyceps Energy Gummies! 

Chaga

This mega fungi helps promote a healthy immune system.**

Lion’s Mane

Lion’s mane mushroom truly roars with benefits. It’s like feng shui for your brain. It helps support occasional stress and promote a positive mood, ignite focus, and support gut health.** Get started today with our Lion’s Mane Focus Gummies. 

Turkey Tail

When it comes to gut health, the turkey tail is tops.** This mushroom is often considered a prebiotic that promotes a healthy gut biome, which in turn supports your overall wellness.**

Maitake

Maitake will really get you movin’. This mushroom’s name translates to “dancing” and it’s easy to see why. This fungi is an adaptogen that may support a positive mood and keep your cells dancing with wellness.*

Shiitake

These culinary favorites can be found in dishes throughout the U.S. Besides being prized for their flavor, shiitake mushrooms also promote a healthy heart.*

How Many Mushroom Gummies Should You Take?

Many people enjoy a daily mushroom routine for long-lasting wellness while others take their mushroom supplements as needed. Depending on the blend, potency, and your individual needs, you will likely want to start off with one and slowly ramp up based on your response.

When Should I Take My Mushroom Gummies?

When you take your mushroom gummies depends on what blend of mushrooms you’re taking. If your blend supports energy, you likely don’t want to take it before bed. The opposite is true for mushroom gummies designed to help you kick back and chill.

How Do Mushroom Gummies Compare to Other ‘Shroom Edibles?

If mushroom gummies aren’t your thing there are plenty of related products that may better fit your lifestyle, budget, and preference.

  • Powders: Mushroom powders come in capsules and packets. Like gummies and tinctures, they contain mushroom extracts. Powders can be turned into mushroom teas, soups, and added to other dishes like pasta. Or simply added to drinks like coffee, protein drinks, smoothies and more.
  • Tinctures: Tinctures are a liquid form of mushroom extracts. These mushroom tinctures can be taken directly from a dropper or added to coffees, hot chocolate, tea, soups, and more.
  • Capsules: Capsules are pills filled with mushroom powders. They’re a convenient fungi format that travels well and makes taking mushrooms simple.
  • Chocolates: Many people create their own mushroom chocolates by adding mushroom powder to their favorite recipes, including sleep truffles, brownies, or chocolate bars.


How to Choose the Best Mushroom Extract Gummies

Unfortunately, not all mushroom supplement companies use the same quality and consideration when creating their products. When shopping for mushroom gummies, it’s important to be sure you’re getting the most mushroom potency for your money–and–you’re buying from a company that uses eco-friendly and ethical methods. Why? When you support ethical mushroom producers, you’re protecting the future of fungi.

What should you look for when picking out tasty and effective mushroom gummies:

  • Certified organic (we are the first USDA certified organic mushroom gummies!)
  • Use of fruiting bodies instead of mycelia or mycelium on grain
  • Sustainable and ethical harvesting
  • 3rd-party laboratory testing
  • Vegan and gluten-free
  • Dual extraction methods

Get the Best Mushrooms Gummies from Mushroom Revival

There’s a reason why mushroom lovers across the U.S. and beyond go to us for their mushroom supplements–we’re obsessed with mushrooms. Mushroom Revival’s team isn’t just passionate about the benefits of fungi–we live, breathe, think, and eat our mushrooms daily.

If you’re a college student, it is important for you to get the vitamins you need because they are essential to good health. You can get all the nutrients you need from a balanced diet, but when you’re living away from home for the first time, it can be difficult.

Why you may need a vitamin supplement

When you are a student, you are still in the developmental stages and need certain vitamins for healthy bone development, proper brain function, and immunity. Everyone has a recommended daily amount (RDA) of all the vitamins they need to support various bodily functions. For example, your body needs D to absorb calcium. It needs K for blood coagulation.

Some are soluble in water, and some are soluble in fat. Water soluble ones such as B-complex and C must be taken on a daily basis because they are excreted from the body within four hours to a day.

Get essay help

Stress and anxiety can affect your health, and they can be ongoing when you’re trying to cope with all your responsibilities as a student, including attending classes, writing assignments and studying for exams. Receiving essay help online from EduBirdie can relieve your stress and help you to cope. A professional essay writer will write your essay for you. This gives you a good example of academic essay writing so you can see how to improve your own writing skills.

What vitamins do you need?

Vitamin B will help to keep your brain activity high so you can function well cognitively. B12 is essential because it helps you to maintain your energy levels, a healthy nervous system and good brain function. B creates energy in the form of glucose from carbohydrates. They work best together, which is why a B-complex supplement may be a good idea. Unlike other vitamins, B12 is only found in animal products, so vegans are more likely to be deficient and have to take it as a supplement. B5 helps with the synthesis and metabolism of important brain chemicals, so it can improve your mental performance.

Vitamin C is a strong antioxidant and helps to strengthen your immunity. Crowded door rooms, a lack of sleep, stress, and part-time jobs can weaken the immune system and C, D, and E can all strengthen your immunity. C can also help to keep your skin, blood vessels, cartilage and bones healthy.

Vitamin D helps to build bones because it’s needed to absorb calcium. It also supports immunity, muscle function, and brain cell activity. The skin does produce some D with direct exposure to sunlight but using sunscreen, weak sunlight, and lack of exposure can result in a lack of this important vitamin. You may have low vitamin D levels if you hardly ever get outside. This will make you more likely to suffer from coughs, colds, or upper respiratory tract infections.

Vitamins E, C, and A can improve your eyesight. As a student, you usually spend hours in front of a computer, and your eyes can suffer from all that screen time. If you’re struggling with dry skin, eczema, or acne, vitamins E, C, and A can also help to lessen these problems.

Why do you need vitamins?

Getting your daily vitamins can significantly reduce your levels of stress and anxiety. They also contribute to a healthy heart. Multi-vitamins can help to fill any nutritional gaps if you don’t consistently eat a healthy, balanced diet. Feeling exhausted is common as a student, and taking vitamins can help to combat this. Some scientists believe that consuming enough B12 can improve your short-term memory and ability to learn.

How to choose vitamins

  • It is important to discuss your options with a healthcare professional before adding supplements to your diet, especially if you have any serious health conditions.
  • Try to avoid formulas with flavorings, colors, and preservatives.
  • Ensure you use good-quality vitamins. It helps if they are tested by third parties to confirm quality and quantity.
  • The most effective vitamins are those that you actually take. Look for ones that are easy for you to chew and that are not so unappealing that you are inclined not to take them.

Conclusion

Vitamins help to keep your body functioning properly and drive some essential bodily processes. While getting them from a healthy, balanced diet is optimal, you may not have such good eating habits as a college student. Taking a vitamin supplement can enhance your cognitive functioning and give you what you need physically and mentally to succeed at college.

The 5 Best Supplements for Joint Pain https://www.suppreviewers.com/the-5-best-supplements-for-joint-pain/ https://www.suppreviewers.com/the-5-best-supplements-for-joint-pain/#respond Thu, 18 Aug 2022 05:04:50 +0000 https://www.suppreviewers.com/?p=579774 One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of self-care is joint health.

One of the most commonly overlooked aspects of self-care is joint health. Joints are points in the body where two or more bones connect to each other. They provide crucial support and range of motion, yet many people pay little attention to them until they start to ache.

Common treatments for joint pain include physical therapy, balms, and over-the-counter or prescription non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). Any amount of joint damage caused by injury or disease can affect movement and cause severe pain if not tended to properly. In this post, we’ll discuss common causes for joint pain and easily accessible supplements that have been proven to help prevent it.

Common Causes of Joint Pain

Joint pain can be caused by many factors, some of which are easier to remedy than others. Below are some of the most common root causes of joint pain:

  • Wear and tear from overuse
  • Poor posture
  • Nutritional deficiencies
  • Arthritis
  • Tendonitis
  • Rapid or excessive weight gain

Knee pain is arguably the most common form of joint pain in American adults, followed by shoulder and hip pain. However, it’s worth noting joint pain can manifest anywhere including the smaller joints in the hands and ankles.

Do Joint Supplements Really Work?

Whether joint supplements “work” depends on the root cause of pain. In cases where pain is caused by diminishing thickness of cartilage, lack of lubrication in the joints, or strain from overuse, supplementation can be very effective. If the pain is nerve related, on the other hand, less conventional treatments might be more helpful.

Over-the-Counter Joint Pain Supplements

Joint pain is often accompanied by swelling and inflammation, stiffness, and loss of range of motion. There are many ways to approach both the treatment and moderation of these symptoms. Below are some of the best supplements for managing joint pain, backed by scientific research and years of correlative user reviews.

Chondroitin and Glucosamine

According to some studies, supplementing with glucosamine and chondroitin can help with joint discomfort and function. Both are structural components of cartilage, which helps cushion the ends of bones and prevent friction. The effectiveness of chondroitin and glucosamine varies between individuals, but supplementing with this combination does provide significant pain relief for many by supporting cartilage production.

Cannabis

Cannabis has been shown to help with joint pain and joint health in a variety of ways. It helps reduce inflammation, which is often at the root of joint pain and other chronic conditions, and has been shown to improve sleep quality and duration. Sleep is when the body is most actively regenerating and repairing damaged tissue. Medical marijuana has long been prescribed for chronic pain as well as sleep conditions, but there are also a variety of cannabis-derived products available on the market.

Tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) is an active ingredient in marijuana with well-documented anti-inflammatory and analgesic effects, actually affecting how the brain perceives pain. Many consumers agree that products like THC gummies are great for relieving pain and are a discreet way to supplement with cannabis.

MSM

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM), a natural compound found in plants, fruits, vegetables, and grains, has been shown to help lessen the symptoms of joint-related conditions like osteoarthritis. MSM reduces joint pain by promoting the synthesis of collagen, a protein that helps keep joints healthy. MSM is generally considered safe, but it can cause some side effects such as stomach upset, diarrhea, and headache in excessive doses.

Turmeric

Turmeric is a spice that’s been used for centuries in Indian cuisine, with the added benefit of acting as a natural remedy for joint pain and other health problems. Recent research shows that turmeric may help to improve joint health by reducing inflammation and pain, and may even provide joint support in day-to-day activities (e.g. walking).

Turmeric can be taken orally or applied topically to the skin. Because it’s a spice, it’s generally safe for most people when taken in moderation.

Fish Oil

Fish oil supplements have become increasingly popular in recent years, given research has shown that they improve immune function as well as improve skin and hair health. Fish oils are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, which support healthy joints and minimize stiffness. Additionally, fish oil helps to reduce inflammation and improve circulation, making it easier for the body to transport nutrients to damaged joints.

If you’re considering taking fish oil supplements for joint health, choose a high-quality product that contains at least 2 grams of omega-3 fatty acid. Also, be sure to take the supplement with food to maximize absorption.

Careful supplementation can help lower the likelihood of joint pain or at least minimize its symptoms. The majority of these supplements are also recommended by the Arthritis Foundation for managing arthritis symptoms. Though you can easily purchase these from a drugstore, some supplements can interact with certain medications. Be sure to consult your physician or do your due diligence before incorporating these into your regimen.

How to Choose the Right Joint Pain Supplement

It’s important to begin by assessing your symptoms, as this determines which supplement and dose range is best for your intended use case. Selecting a joint pain supplement can be overwhelming due to the number of products available, many of which have multiple ingredients.

As of this writing, these supplements aren’t actively regulated by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA), so it’s important to purchase only from reputable companies. Keeping an attentive eye on their ingredient panels and expiry dates is also strongly recommended to avoid adverse reactions or undesirable side effects.

Taking care of all aspects of your health also means your oral health. Your teeth and gums are very important and should not be forgotten about. You can brush and floss and visit the dentist regularly, but sometimes more needs to be done.There are a variety of supplements you should consider taking to ensure that your teeth and gums have the nutrients that they need.

Calcium

The building block of optimal oral health is calcium. Taking a calcium supplement will help you to develop and support healthy teeth by hardening the enamel and providing strength to the jawbone. This mineral helps build bones and provide structural support. In your mouth, calcium helps harden your enamel and strengthen your jawbone. By keeping your jawbone strong, the teeth get crucial support that will nurture their growth. If your body is lacking calcium, it will begin to pull from sources in the bones and teeth, leading to various dental problems, such as brittle teeth or irritated gums. In addition to taking a supplement, you can also get calcium from plenty of foods naturally. Good choices include cheese, canned fish, and green, leafy vegetables.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D is the perfect partner for calcium. Vitamin D assists the body in absorbing calcium while also boosting bone mineral density. To get the most out of your calcium supplement, it is recommended to pair it with vitamin D for maximum absorption. Working in partnership with calcium, vitamin D plays a significant role in preventing tooth decay. In addition to taking a supplement, spending just 10 minutes a day outside in the sun will also boost your vitamin D levels.

Vitamin C

Along with the calcium and vitamin D for your teeth, you also need to be mindful of taking care of your gums. Without healthy gums, your oral health will suffer. Vitamin C is crucial for gum health. This powerful antioxidant strengthens your gums as well as the surrounding soft tissue of your mouth. Sufficient amounts of vitamin C will also help to prevent gingivitis and may keep teeth from loosening. Fortunately, vitamin C is found in several foods and in most daily vitamins and supplements.

Your dental health matters. Rather than worrying about it, action can be taken. It’s important that you take care of your teeth, but adding supplements can help. Calcium, vitamin D, and vitamin C all work together to provide a comprehensive care plan for your oral health. Being intentional about taking these supplements now will definitely benefit you and your dental health down the road.

Supplements to build muscle mass and strength have more far-reaching positive effects than just on bodybuilders. Runners seeking speed or endurance, the elderly who need to fight off declining muscle mass, and everyone from volleyball players to basketball stars who want to improve performance may benefit from muscle supplements.

Omega 3 Supplements

Omega-3 and -6 fatty acids are very popular for their anti-inflammatory effects on the body. However, they may also have a vital role in building muscle. Omega-3 fatty acids can boost your muscle synthesis when added to your diet.

You already know that amino acids are the building blocks for proteins, vital in muscle structure and function. Experts say omega-3 supplements may make these amino acids more available to you and increase other biochemical functions necessary for muscle formation or synthesis. Moreover, omega-3 fatty acids decrease muscle recovery times by reducing the amount of muscular damage. Finally, omega-3s work with exercise to improve muscular strength and performance beyond activity alone.

The best sources of omega 3 fatty foods are oily fish, flaxseeds, or walnuts. Some suppliers fortify milk or eggs with omega-3 fatty acids, but whole food sources are ideal. Common delivery means for omega fatty acids, in general, are fish oil, cod liver oil, krill oil, and flaxseed oil.

Creatine Supplements

Many people in the bodybuilding and health community consider creatine to be the most important supplement for building muscular bulk. Creatine is effective because it helps lean muscle synthesis and, combined with exercise, may significantly increase your strength, perhaps as much as twofold.

Among creatine’s possible benefits to the muscles is an increase in the muscular growth hormone IGF-1, a rise in the availability of water for muscle cells, increased muscle stamina during repetitions and intervals, and reduced muscular breakdown and damage during activity. Ultimately, creatine appears to trigger the formation of new proteins necessary for muscle building.

Creatine’s most important function, however, is to increase storage capacity for phosphocreatine. Phosphocreatine increases the ability of your cells to produce ATP, a primary cellular fuel. ATP enables you to perform the high intensity exercises necessary for increasing endurance, fitness, and muscle mass. Creatine, specifically, shows much higher results for fast-speed muscle requirements such as weightlifting and sprinting than endurance. Since you use ATP so quickly, increased stores mean more repetitions which lead to faster achievement of your goals.

Beta-Alanine Supplementation

Beta-Alanine’s primary mode of action as a supplement is to buffer the pH of your muscles. What does pH have to do with muscle functionality and strength? You already know that one of the factors limiting repetitions (and thus, muscle building) is low ATP stores.

Another factor is rising levels of lactic acid as you work out. Lactic acid lowers pH, which diminishes the muscle’s ability to use fuel and contract. By increasing carnitine levels in your muscles, Beta-Alanine can diminish acidity, improving muscular endurance, work volume, power output, and strength with prolonged use.

While poultry, red meat, and fish are excellent sources of carnitine, studies suggest the oral intake of beta-alanine provides more availability for bodybuilders and other athletes. Sustained-release forms avoid the tingling sensation, a common but harmless side effect of beta-alanine supplements. Finally, isolated animal experiments report it may be important to add taurine as Beta-Alanine competes for the same cell receptors as the essential amino acid.

Omega 3s, creatine, and beta-alanine are a few of the more effective and well-studied supplements to improve muscle strength in various ways. By helping fight the damaging effects of exercise or helping muscles to grow, supplements using natural chemical compounds can help athletes and health-conscious individuals achieve long term goals for strength and body mass.
