Dietary supplements are often seen as meal replacements for weight loss or products designed to bulk up muscles. In reality, dietary supplements help maintain a balance between good health and rationalizing medication consumption.
Dietary supplements provide beneficial nutritional intake for the health of sedentary individuals as well as athletes, particularly for their performance, but also for their recovery and many other actions.
It is essential to learn about these dietary supplements before consuming them.
Countering the bitterness of BCAAs
BCAAs are known for being very bitter. It is entirely possible to add stevia-type sucralose to make them sweeter. With no calories or glycemic impact, sucralose contains no sugar while possessing considerable sweetening power.
Another option to counter the bitterness of BCAAs is to add Nutriarômes. These Nutriarômes are flavors developed by Nutrimuscle, which can be added to all our dietary supplements to give them more taste when consumed. They are perfect for accompanying your protein snacks without slowing down the absorption rate of proteins.
Creatine before or after training?
For some people, taking creatine before training can cause slight hypoglycemia, due to several individual factors. This is often the case during cutting phases because creatine has a negative effect on blood sugar, and more particularly when the athlete's carbohydrate level is low. It is therefore preferable to consume your creatine right after training.
Also, creatine requires a certain assimilation time, and it is more advantageous to split the intake throughout the day rather than taking a daily dose all at once. These fractional intakes would allow you to benefit from maximum energy during training sessions and improve recovery.

SOS, too much foam in the whey!
Nutrimuscle native whey does not contain additives and causes foam in your shaker. To avoid this phenomenon, we recommend adding oat powder or any other carbohydrate source to your shaker.
Several mixing techniques also help limit foam. We recommend first adding your liquid to the shaker, then adding the powder. Then, add a little more of your liquid (the desired final quantity), then rotate it quite quickly. With this technique, your whey should foam less.
When to take your capsules?
Consume your capsules throughout the day rather than in a single dose.
Let's take the example of magnesium; the more magnesium you take, the more the absorption level is reduced. It is therefore necessary to divide your intake throughout the day.
Also, some dietary supplements are better assimilated by the body when consumed on an empty stomach. Others are more effective before or after training, during a meal, or in the evening. Spreading your dietary supplements throughout the day allows you to take them at the most opportune time.
Consume your capsules all year round rather than in cycles.
Assimilation and elimination mechanisms are complex. To resume the example of magnesium; The body poorly stores magnesium, and the elimination of this mineral is constant. Therefore, a continuous intake must be ensured if one does not want to create a nutritional deficit. In this case, it is not recommended to consume magnesium in the form of a cycle.
Supplements in your recipes
Supplements can easily be incorporated into recipes, whether savory or sweet. They are also incorporated into drinks such as milkshakes but also into coffee. This is a good solution to mask the taste of collagen by mixing it into your coffee or shaker.
