Nutritional and Sports Supplementation

Nutritional and Sports Supplementation As the marketing manager at www.qfit.tv, many people often ask me... “What is the best supplement I can take to increase muscle gain, to lose fat, to get more energy, to give me greater endurance or to improve my health?”

To answer this question, I have to take into consideration the workout plan that the individual is using at the time. If they are trying to build muscle, is it a conditioning, hypertrophy, power or strength program being used? Are they already consuming the right amount of protein powder for their weight?

Quite often the answer is not simply, “Take this product and that should do the trick”. It is more usually a combination of considerations, including diet, nutrition, training determination and your personal approach to a balanced lifestyle that sees the majority of people see success with their health and fitness goals. 

So where do supplements fit in? They fall into the nutrition category, made up of diet and sport-specific additives that are designed to aide your goals, tailored to your individual circumstances.

Athletes take sports supplements to promote better internal health, in-order to support their active lifestyles. The life-elements of athletes vary, as does their training and recovery goals. While one individual might require a high dose of creatine, amino acids and proteins to promote energy, strength and power, another might need a high quality protein and carbohydrates shake to aide recovery after a heavy training session.

While the history of nutritional supplementation was initiated by the bodybuilding industry, advances in science and technology has led us to a whole new understanding of the importance of maintaining a nutritional regime, specific to our particular needs. Understanding that our individual bio-rhythms are constantly changing, today’s society has accepted that nutritional supplementation is a dynamic part of their daily lives that requires re-evaluation on a regular basis.

The health benefit of sports supplementationion to the elderly has also produced quite impressive results. With the introduction and boom of natural nutritional supplements in recent years, some medical trials have demonstrated that there are beneficial results to artery and vein health after prolonged use of certain amino acids and co-enzymes. Similarly, some supplements like “superfats” and EFA’s can also help lower cholesterol in the blood and ward off the possibility of stroke and heart disease.

The question is who do you turn to for the right advice on your nutritional supplementation needs? Who can you trust to understand the complexities of your individual circumstances? Our research on these questions has led us to one of the most successful sports supplementation companies in Australia, Australian Sports Nutrition (ASN).

ASN sponsors a broad range of national and internationally ranked athletes in a range of endeavours, so they are acutely aware of the needs of anyone wanting to maintain or improve their energy levels, endurance, power lifting capabilities, strength, weight loss, muscle building and body sculpting efforts, as well as assisting anyone preparing for or competing in an active sport.

The ASN sponsored athletes’ all realise the importance of increased performance, recovery levels and breaking through their personal best barriers by introducing the right supplements to support their personal goals, delivered at the right time.
