Whey protein powder
Whey is among the top of the list of mass-gain supplements because of its well known quality and characteristics crucial for pushing protein synthesis. Whey is a milk protein that has a high level of branched-chain amino acids. Whey takes the crown because it digests fast and gets to your muscles rapidly to start building muscle. Whey also contains peptides, that are, small proteins, that increase blood flow to the muscles. This is why we always recommend consuming whey immediately after training.
Creatine
Creatine is made from three amino acids: arginine, glycine and methionine. Anecdotal reports and scientific studies alike find that guys who take
Creatine gain a good 10 pounds or more of body weight and increase strength dramatically. It works in a number of ways. For one, it increases the amount of fast energy in your muscles needed to perform reps in the gym. The more of this fast energy that's available, the more reps you can do with a given weight, allowing you to get bigger and stronger in the long run. It also draws more water into your muscle cells, placing a stretch on the cell that increases long-term growth. Most recently, It has been found to increase levels of insulin like growth factor in muscles, which is critical for stimulating growth.
Branched chain amino acids
The term branched-chain amino acids refer to Line, Isoleucine and Valine, the absolute most important amino acids for repairing and building muscle tissue. Leucine is the most critical of the three, as research shows that it can stimulate muscle protein synthesis on its own. Yet it is still best to take all three together, since they work in synergy to provide a multitude of benefits, including muscle growth and increased energy during workouts.
Beta Alanine/Carnosine
In the body, the amino acid beta-alanine is combined with another amino, Histidine, to form Carnosine. Research shows that when muscles have higher levels of Carnosine, they have more strength and endurance. Carnosine appears to increase the muscle fibers' ability to contract with more force, and to do so longer without fatiguing. Several studies reported increases in muscle strength and power in athletes who took beta-alanine. One recent study found that subjects who took beta-alanine along with Creatine gained more muscle mass and lost more body fat than subjects who took Creatine only.
