Natural Bodybuilding Supplements

It is possible to take certain substances and still be considered a natural bodybuilder. These are not steroids or testosterone enhancers. Natural bodybuilding supplements consists of the basics like whey protein.

Whey protein provides benefits for people who want muscle growth and fat loss. Bodybuilders should consume around 20 grams of whey protein 3 times a day before or after a workout for best results.
Most bodybuilding supplement companies manufacture whey protein as it is one of the most popular supplements available.

Creatine

It is still debated whether or not creatine should form a part of a natural bodybuilder’s supplementation. Creatine is manufactured by the body and used up through bodybuilding. Creatine supplementation simply gives you more creatine so you can lift harder and longer.

Many natural bodybuilders and indeed professional athletes take creatine supplementation, so I do consider it to be acceptable for natural bodybuilders.

Protein shakes are an excellent way to give your body protein back after a workout. It will also serve to replenish muscles particularly in the 30 or so minutes after a workout. This is the time when a protein shake should be consumed; the quicker the better actually.

As you can see it is possible to take mild natural supplements and still be considered a natural bodybuilder. Any more than this and you are bordering on unnatural and performance enhancing.
