💊 Supplements for Muscle Growth

Supplements are supplements, not replacements. However, some of them have a solid scientific basis.

🏆 TOP 5 Scientifically Backed Supplements

  1. 🥩 Whey Protein (whey) — fast-absorbing, high leucine content. 20-40 g after training or between meals. Proven effect: increases muscle mass + more than diet alone.
  2. ⚡ Creatine Monohydrate — the most studied sports supplement in the world. 5 g per day. Increases strength, muscle mass, recovery. Effect: +5-15% strength, +1-2 kg lean mass in 8-12 weeks.
  3. 🧬 Beta-Alanine — buffers lactic acid, allows more reps. 3-5 g per day. Side effect: tingling (safe).
  4. 🧂 Citrulline Malate — improves blood flow, the "pump" effect, reduces fatigue. 6-8 g before training.
  5. 🐟 Omega-3 Fatty Acids — reduces inflammation, improves recovery, may increase muscle protein synthesis. 2-3 g per day.

🏆 The Gold Standard

Start with this trio: Protein + Creatine + Omega-3. This covers 90% of supplement needs. Everything else — according to individual needs and budget.
