I agree with you that those 3 supplements are needed for building muscle. Nowadays supplements can be made be anyone because they no longer need approval before they go on sale, therefore some are badly made. Finding good quality supplements is a must, check the ingredients!

Nice article. Whey Protein is a necessity in today’s world, its nearly impossible to eat enough protein every day. I never used glutamine, I’ve heard a lot of good things about it, for now I just stick to whey creatine, multi, and fish oil.

If your going to work your body extra hard, then some sort of supplementation and rest is necessary for muscle building and strength gains, otherwise your body will go into a catabolic state. I find that taking whey protein first thing in the morning and then within about an hour after working out really helps me recover fast. I feel that protein should be a must. Other supplements such as creatine and glutamine can be a good secondary level of supplementation.

protein makes sense since the body needs it, although the best type is as natural from foods as possible. What I’ve found that works best is creatine in morning and 30-60 minutes pre workout so I have a good “boost” and get a great, intense workout session and then protein immediately after and before bed. Worked really well for me.

My take as a personal trainer on supplements – skip them. I advise my clients to eat eggs, actually lots of eggs, then lean chicken or turkey meat and buckwheat in combination with quinoa. Buckwheat is not from the wheat family as the name might suggest, but rather a berry, full of best veggie protein out there. Quinoa is also awesome. I barely do any supplements these days. I am not saying supplements are bad but they can’t be a replacement for natural food.

I agree that those are really the three most important supplements, and in that order, but supplements alone wont do anything, they need to be combined with a good workout program and a proper diet.

Food is the most important factor in building muscle. Then you can add some supplements like protien powders, creatine and multi-vitamins but never rely only on the supplements as they are just helpers.

Supplement is needed in order to gain muscles fast. But people prefer to lose body fat as well before continue to gain muscles. It is so important to watch your diet closely. You must ensure that you keep the caloric intake below the maintenance level. At the time when you reduce the amount of calories, make sure that you consume appropriate portions of protein. A majority of the calories often come from the carbohydrate intake; however you must monitor the fat intake. Here the supplement can be applied.
