After a weight training session, the body finds itself in a situation of muscle catabolism. Indeed, the body has used the amino acids in the muscles to produce energy, which leads to the destruction of muscle fibers, therefore a loss of muscle! If the body does not recover and regenerate, the risk is to lose the benefits of your training. It is therefore essential to provide the body with proteins and amino acids, but not only! The training also put a strain on your cardiovascular, nervous and joint systems. Which means injuries and overtraining are never far away. Discover our supplementation program to improve your recovery and push your limits!

The fundamental supplements

Multivitamins: taking a daily multivitamin helps bodybuilding athletes fight against deficiencies and protect their immune cells against free radicals which are more numerous during intense physical effort.

In bodybuilding, athletes have higher vitamin needs to optimize muscle recovery following training. Furthermore, vitamins help limit the appearance of nocturnal cramps (1-2).

Multiminerals: during a weight training session, the athlete loses minerals due to increased sweating. This is why we recommend taking a multimineral supplement in order to compensate for deficiencies and limit inflammation and muscle damage that harms performance, in particular thanks to zinc and selenium (3).

Omega 3: cardiovascular health should not be neglected to progress in bodybuilding. This is why we recommend daily intake. of omega 3. In fact, these allow smoother blood circulation and help lower blood pressure (4). They also help alleviate the negative effects of muscle soreness and improve recovery (5,6).


Musclewhey: in a sport like bodybuilding, the importance of supplementation no longer needs to be demonstrated. Indeed, supplementation before exercise makes it possible to limit muscle fatigue (7,8) while supplementation after exercise makes it possible more particularly to improve muscle reconstruction and development.


Creatine: creatine is an essential supplement in the world of bodybuilding. This supplement helps increase strength and lean muscle mass. But its benefits don't stop there! Creatine also helps accelerate recovery after exercise by minimizing muscle catabolism while promoting the storage of muscle glycogen (9).

supplements for training

Cluster Dextrin

Cluster Dextrin® is a carbohydrate particularly suitable for taking before or after a weight training session. Cluster Dextrin helps increase endurance (10), and improve recovery after exercise. Indeed, this highly branched cyclic dextrin provides a high energy intake by supplying the body with glycogen. In addition, it promotes the resynthesis of muscle glycogen after exercise, which allows you to recover more quickly.

BCAA 4.1.1

BCAAs are branched amino acids found naturally in proteins. For bodybuilding practitioners, additional intake improves muscle building by stimulating protein synthesis and reduces muscle damage caused by training (11), leading to better recovery.

Mix Focus

The focus mix contains green caffeine and citicoline. We recommend this mix to bodybuilding practitioners wishing to maintain the same level of concentration during training. The focus mix also contains astaxantin. This very powerful anti-oxidant allows athletes to be more endurance thanks to better lipid metabolism leading to an increase in aerobic performance (12). The caffeine contained in the focus mix helps in particular to reduce the effort perceived during training. (13). In addition, the citicoline in the focus mix allows you to maintain the same level of muscle strength during the session. What is decisive in bodybuilding. Citicoline is a precursor to acetylcholine, a very important neurotransmitter for muscles and the brain because it controls the force of contraction. Intense effort in bodybuilding depletes acetylcholine stocks, gradually causing a loss of muscle strength.

Collagen Type I

The main obstacles to progress in bodybuilding are pain and injuries. However, the practice of bodybuilding puts a strain on the joints and tendons. In this context, collagen supplementation is very important for an athlete who exercises bodybuilding and trains regularly. Indeed, collagen allows better lubrication of the tendons (14) and better prevention of injuries linked to intense and frequent efforts (acute aches, tendon pain, knee problems). Daily supplementation with collagen is therefore a valuable aid in order to limit the risk of injury and reduce the level of pain linked to repeated weight training sessions.

ZMB

Intense bodybuilding training causes tension on the nervous system. It is during sleep that the latter is regenerated, but the quality of sleep of strength athletes is generally of lower quality following training. We recommend that people with sleep disorders supplement with zinc and magnesium. These minerals combined together in the form of pidolates provide relaxing effects promoting better sleep and better muscular and nervous relaxation (15). ZMB is a supplement combining magnesium and zinc pidolates and vitamin B6 specially designed to improve the nervous and neuronal recovery.
