Supplements That Build Lean Muscle Mass

Building lean muscle is very hard work. Society is so focused on losing weight and burning fat that we forget we need to build muscle to keep that weight off. Or maybe you're focus is on bodybuilding and gaining weight. Either way, when we gain weight we want it to be lean: muscle, not fat. There are plenty of supplements that can help you achieve that goal.

  1. Whey Protein

    • Protein is the building block of all muscle. If you are trying to build muscle then your diet should include 20 to 30 percent of calories from protein, and your calories should also be very high (3,000 to 5,000 per day). Whey protein is an amazing source of protein that the body can quickly use. Mix one to two scoops of whey protein with 1 to 2 cups of whole milk and sip on that after a workout.

    Creatine

    • Creatine's beneficial effects are well known in the sports industry. It helps you optimize your body composition (fat versus muscle) and your performance in the gym. N.O. Shotgun is a great pick for gaining muscle because it has 20g of protein, along with other ingredients that help you both perform better during your workouts and recover better after your workouts.

    ZMA

    • ZMA is a supplement containing three ingredients: zinc, magnesium and vitamin B6. These ingredients are in a specific ratio that, when taken before bed on an empty stomach, cause your body to increase testosterone production. If you increase your testosterone, and combine that with a higher calorie/protein diet and proper training, you will build lean muscle.

    Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Dianabol

    • Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Dianabolis not the steroid that was made popular a couple decades ago. This particular supplement is a natural testosterone support. It contains supplements that are like caffeine for your body's testosterone: they make your body make more testosterone. This should be taken two to three times a day.

    Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals Estrogenex

    • This product also helps your testosterone levels, but in a different way. The Estrogenex works to block your body's production of estrogen, and helps stop the body from turning testosterone into estrogen. Then end result is more testosterone and less estrogen, which is a recipe for more muscle and less fat.
