I get asked all the time about supplements and nutrition for the wildly popular P90X workout program.  This is an intense workout routine, so nutritional supplementation can definitely benefit people on the P90X program; however, recommending one supplement is hard.  First, the end goal of the person training has to be considered.  Are you trying to lose weight, shred up your muscles, or just last the entire duration of the workout with fatiguing?  An additional consideration is your current diet: how clean is your diet, what quantities are you consuming, how many meals and snacks are you consuming?  Some essential vitamins and minerals might already be in your current diet.  Consuming more than your body can metabolize is not going to benefit you.  Read more...

Please Note: the sport I am training for is soccer.

Sports nutrition can be defined as the additional nutrients that a sports person take in himself in order to increase his metabolic rate. They come as supplements and are used by a variety of participants or rather sports men in a variety of different sports, hobbies or pastimes. Though not always in sports some people use them for bodybuilding, which may be either at a personal or professional level. This specific activity requires some specific nutrition and intake of certain foods that is very much necessary so as to accomplish their goals in the gymnasiums.  Read more...

If you’re old enough to remember, or lucky enough to have saved some bodybuilding magazines from the 80′s then you could see which muscle building supplements they were advertising then and which ones are still being advertised today. There’s a few that have carried on because they work. Truth is, so many products come and go because they’re fads and simply don’t do what they promised.

It’s easy to get your head spinning and wondering about all the ads in the mags and what people say about this new product and that. If you’re serious about bodybuilding but haven’t been at it for several years or you aren’t getting ready for a contest, then the best advice about muscle building supplements is “stick to the basics”.  Read more...

Painted faces, arrogant attitudes, and loud clothing have defined the TapouT brand, and their success is unmatched in the world of MMA.  It’s hard to argue with the success of TapouT, who has created a line of clothing that is ubiquitous in the MMA world.  The tragic death of co-founder ‘Mask’, which rocked the MMA community, and showed how deeply loyal MMA fans are to this line of clothing.  TapouT, in its quest to perfect the MMA branding process, has stamped their name and logo on everything from wallets to socks to dog tags, and TapouT’s newest venture: sports nutrition.  Read more...

No. Since creatine is found in many foods it would be difficult to ban. The human body creates 2 grams on its own without supplementation a day.

It is supposed to be safe and its found naturally in some meats it increases strength the ability to workout longer and muscle size some of which is by water retention!
What I want to know is what effect does it have on my heart I do interval running as well as weight lifting and my hearts a muscle so could it be damaging my heart in any way?
Thanks kind regards!

I’m doing some research into sports nutrition and i’m trying to figure out the costs associated with sports supplements.
Whenever I go the local nutrition stores or look online, I see very wide differences in prices for same items.
Does anyone here work at supplement industry and can tell me the typical wholesale price versus the retail price.
