Knowledge Lecture Hall - Why do you need to take fitness supplements?

What should I drink after exercise? In fact, the purpose is not to avoid helping to restore physical strength, muscle growth, improve muscle strength, and burn fat. For those who need a lot of training every day or want to break through the bottleneck quickly, fitness supplements are a good choice. However, you can't just drink fitness supplements but don't know what you are drinking. So here we introduce commonly used fitness supplements!

　　1. Creatine

　　Hundreds of studies have pointed out that creatine supplements can be To help muscle strength and muscle growth, clinical studies have pointed out that training is one of the best time to take. Especially when pairing ingredients that can increase insulin levels, such as Leucine and glucose in BCAA. If you want to know more about creatine, you can refer to the following article: (The Mystery of Creatine - Deep Learning Creatine)

　　2. L-carnitine

　　L-carnitine is composed of amino acids in the human kidneys and liver, mainly stored in Muscles, brain, and even semen also exist. The function of L-carnitine is to help transport fat into the mitochondria of cells. Once fat enters the mitochondria, it can be oxidized as fuel to produce ATP. L-carnitine is doing such cellular work whether you are training or resting. Studies have proven that it is especially effective when exercising vigorously. If there is not enough L-carnitine, most dietary fat cannot enter the mitochondria for fuel burning.

　　A recent Scottish study concluded that in addition to its fat transport, L-carnitine also enhances the insulin operation of muscle cells. That is to say, L-carnitine can help keep blood sugar at a low level after eating a carbohydrate-rich meal. In addition, it can also help replenish liver sugar when liver sugar fails. This is why L-carnitine is suitable for taking after training.

3. Glucose

　　The liver sugar glycogen in our muscles will be burned quickly during the training. Research has confirmed that in just 30 minutes of retraining, more than 40% of muscle liver sugar can be consumed. Glucose is one of the carbohydrates that can be absorbed immediately by the human body without digestion. Therefore, glucose after training can help you take faster physical strength Recover. In addition, intake of glucose will increase the secretion of insulin, which can improve the absorption efficiency of creatine and carnitine. If there is no glucose at hand, it is recommended to use grape juice instead.

　　4. Leucine

　　Leucine plays a role in the three branched-chain amino acids in BCAA to promote myoprotein synthesis. The optimal ratio of BCAA is 2:1:1. However, the ratio of BCAA after training can increase the ratio of leucine to other branched-chain amino acids to 3:1:1 or even 10:1:1, in order to promote the synthesis of more myoprotein.

5. Taurine

　　If you are drinking refreshing drinks (Lehu, Manniu, Red Bull) In other words, taurine should be familiar with. Because the main ingredient of these beverages is taurine, which is an organic acid widely distributed in animal tissues. In addition to being the main ingredient of bile, it also exists naturally in food, especially seafood and meat. Taurine is one of the nutrients required by the body and has a good impact on the development of the baby's brain and eyes, so taurine will be added to the baby's milk powder ingredients.

　　Supplementing taurine after training can improve muscle strength and endurance, and increase the production of NO (nitric oxide) in the body. (Help you open your blood path, muscles can get more nutrients within a certain period of time). In addition, after training, the taurine in the human body will be exhausted, which will damage endurance and muscle strength. This is why it is very important to supplement taurine after training.

　6. Alanine

　　Alanine is an important ingredient before exercise and is also indispensable in recovery after exercise. Its function is to improve strength and endurance and help restore physical strength. Alanine combined with leucine and glucose can improve the level of muscle carnosine in the body to avoid carbonization or glycosylation of myoprotein.

　7. Glutamine

　　The main function is to help muscles. Repair and growth. In addition, a large amount of training will reduce immunity and affect the training results. Glutamine can help maintain the health of the immune system and make the training effect more as you expect.

　　Summary: Whether it is necessary to take fitness supplements depends on personal needs. If you want to make achievements in a shorter period, break through bottlenecks and encounter obstacles, and have too long recovery time, you can drink it. However, here I still want to remind you that nutritional supplements are used for supplements. You should still eat some nutritious "foods" one hour after retraining. Never ignore the main meal.
