Bodybuilding Supplement Safety Tips

By Eric W. Bricker

Physical fitness and strength provide us with an abundance of energy and a "bring it on" attitude towards life. With abundant health comes reduced stress and an increased ability to live life to the fullest. Bodybuilding remains one of the best methods for attaining this level of vitality.

Strength training and weight lifting routines combined with a high protein diet is the basis for attaining this type of strength and energy. But in recent years supplements have become a more popular addition with promises of easy gains.

Adding supplements is a faster way to achieve results due to the increased fuel provided to the body which allows rapid muscle growth.

You can go a long way by simply adding foods to your diet that are high in protein. This include everything from beans, to red meat and dairy products such as cheese and milk. However the advent of protein supplements has also led to a wide availability of protein shakes the most effective of which are composed of whey proteins.

The popularity of whey protein is due to its unique ability to provide the muscles with the essential amino acids they need to develop new fibers in between workouts. As a result why protein, especially in its powder form, has become the most used protein supplement in the weight lifting community.

The average daily supplement of protein should never exceed one gram per pound of body weight. For example, a bodybuilder who weighs 180 pounds should not consume more than 180 grams of whey protein per day during their weight training routine.

However, way too much protein can cause kidney and liver problems. Taken in the proper dosages, whey protein will be the most effective protein supplement in your diet. But too much can cause serious health problems and defeat the intended purpose of increased vitality.

During your workout routine your body will also need more vitamins and minerals than usual so you will need to take a daily multivitamin. - 17268
