There’s a good chance that you’ve experimented with supplements before. I’m not talking about steroids or something illegal but really just any supplement that you’ve put into your body via pill, powder, or in some other form besides real food. Vitamins are supplements and so is a protein bar.

Supplements are around us daily and possibly even in every meal but when did all this supplementing begin and what has it evolved into today?

The history of bodybuilding supplements starts back some one hundred years to a man named Eugen Sandow. 

Eugen Sandow is called the first modern bodybuilder; and he was an advocate of the importance of diet as well as the consumption of certain things to help build his muscles faster.

These may be the first supplements used in modern times for achieving peak human performance.

In the late 1930’s, one man began making supplements when he processed whey from milk for human consumption. This was almost 50 years before bodybuilding supplements really came onto the market in the way we know them now. He also experimented with different sources of vitamins and minerals in powdered forms.

Then in the 1950’s, Irvin Johnson, also known as Rheo H. Blair made some of the first powders designed specifically for athletes. His product was high quality protein from milk and eggs. Bob Hoffman and Joe Weider decided to jump and the bandwagon and created there own protein powders but theses were made from cheaper ingredients such as soy beans, wheat germ, kelp, dextrose and various types of dehydrated plants.

In the 1980’s is when bodybuilding supplements really started becoming a very big business and attracting many fitness goers. 

Pre-workout supplements began making their appearance on ads and in gyms all across the globe. The claims of these ‘pre-workout’ drinks and pills appealed to everyone looking to get in better shape.

Fast-forward to today and the pre-workout supplement industry has done everything except slow down. And it’s because these types of products WORK and live up to their claims, well…. Almost…

Some claims are bogus but they can be since the FDA does not regulate the supplement world. So just because a company claims that their product (which is usually a mix of some sort of cheap placebo like ingredient) does one thing, it might actually do something completely opposite. It’s stuff like this that puts you and me in danger when taking modern day pre-workout supplements.

3 ‘TOP’ Pre-Workout Supplement Ingredients Revealed Below…

If you’re looking for the most BANG for your buck then you need to make sure to be getting in these 3 ingredients in your pre-workout supplement…

• Beta Alanine: The main benefit of supplementing with beta-alanine lies mostly in its ability to raise muscle carnosine concentrations. In fact, beta-alanine is the limiting amino acid in carnosine synthesis, meaning that its presence in the bloodstream is directly tied to muscle carnosine levels.And carnosine is your muscles’ first lines of defense against the buildup of hydrogen ions (H+) during high-intensity exercise. This rise in H+ dramatically lowers the pH within muscle cells, negatively effecting enzyme function and muscle excitation-contraction coupling events that support continued, high-intensity output. Put simply, a drop in muscle pH is a major contributor to muscle fatigue.

• Arginine: Mostly athletic people use this supplement because it is the amino acid that directly produces ‘nitric oxide’. Increasing nitric oxide has become the new secret weapon for athletes and bodybuilders. Those who are now taking supplements with Arginine to support the flow of blood and oxygen to the skeletal muscle.They also use them to assist with the removal of exercise-induced lactic acid build-up, which reduces fatigue and recovery time. Using arginine can also help restore this loop allowing for better workouts and faster recovery from workouts.

• Citrulline Malate: This non-essential amino acids appears to provide FULL-BLOWN MUSCLE ENERGY that allows individuals of all walks to train harder and longer while speeding recuperation from exercise.Recently, studies reported that citrulline malate enhanced aerobic energy production, augmented muscular force output, and mitigated muscle fatigue. Think about training with the same intensity at the end of your workout as you had when you began.
