Most Important
Protein: Protein is used for the production of muscle. Proteins are also uses to manufacture hormones, enzymes, cellular messengers, nucleic acids and immune system components. Without adequate protein our bodies can't put together the structures that make up every cell, tissue and organ, nor can it generate the biochemical substance needed for cardiovascular functions, muscle contraction, growth and healing. Without an adequate amount of protein our muscles wouldn't heal up as quickly. |
Glutamine
Glutamine plays key roles in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism. Glutamine also increases your ability to secrete Human Growth Hormone, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth. Glutamine's anti-catabolism ability prevents the breakdown of your muscles. |
Fat Burners
One way fat-burners work is: The first thing you need to understand about fat burners is that they are not all just out to help your body "burn fat" - well they are, they just get there through different mechanisms. Thermogenics, are the variation of fat burners most commonly thought of and these actually do work to help speed the metabolism, hence, helping you directly burn off more fat. |

BCAA
It's well established that branched-chain amino acid (particularly leucine) stimulate protein synthesis, and might do so to a greater extent than a normal protein on its own. BCAAs also increase synthesis of the cellular machinery responsible for carrying out the process of protein synthesis. Thus, BCAAs not only increase the rate of protein synthesis, but they also increase the cell's capacity for protein synthesis! Yep, you read that right.

Creatine
Extensively studied for both its safety and benefits, some of creatine’s supposed benefits are supported by research and some are not. Creatine also shows promise outside of the athletic and performance setting, but more research is needed in these areas.
