Most effective weight gain supplements?

Each year one of the most common resolutions is to get into good phsycial condition.� While for many people this means losing fat, for others it means gaining leans muscle and adding healthy weight.� Unfortunately, gaining weight and muscle is not done very easily for some people.� For those who have a problem gaining weight naturally, one of the best ways to gain weight is to take weight gain supplements. Those looking to gain weight quickly and healthily should consider a few different supplements.� � Protein shakes is the first effective weight gaining supplement. Protein is the natural building block which is used to develop lean muscle.� A protein shake typically contains up to 60 grams of protein, and someone looking to gain weight is encouraged to have at least two of these shakes per day.� The protein shakes also typically have plenty of carbohydrates which will give your energy needed to exercise and plenty of calories, which are also useful for gaining lean muscle.� � � For the past few decades Creatine has also been a popular weight gaining supplement.� Similar to protein shakes, Creatine is consumed through milkshakes and other beverages.� This supplement contains various amino acids which is then converted into creatine phosphate once it hits your muscles.� Creatine phosphate then helps your muscles recover quickly and naturally following a workout.� By recovering more quickly, your muscles need less time to rest and will see quicker weight and muscle gains. � Flaxseed oil and related supplements are also beneficial when it comes to gaining muscle and weight.� These weight gain supplements are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which are vital to building muscle.� Furthermore, this supplement is not developed naturally by the human body and therefore can only be obtained through a natural diet or by consuming supplements.� Flaxseed oil is also beneficial because each tablespoon has nearly 150 calories, which when consumed allows you to gain weight more quickly.� Flaxseed oil has other health benefits which include improving your immune system, creating more energy, and hormone production.

Does creatine make you build muscle fast?

Creatine actually causes your muscle cells to absorb more water which makes them look bigger which gives us an illusion of extra size and mass. Effectively speaking, once you cut down on your creatine intake, the muscles would start releasing the excess water and you may end up feeling your muscles shrink in size. But, one good thing about creatine is that, it helps you gain that extra strength needed to do heavy workouts. Though it only packs water into our muscles, a properly administered dosage/cycle of creatine can help you in gaining weight and strength.


Does creatine make you gain non-muscle weight?

The main function of creatine is to act as a buffer for ATP. ATP is the main form of energy consumed by your muscles, where the food you eat such (e.g. glucose) is broken down and used in a series of metabolic reactions to produce ATP. ATP is used in the cross-bridge actinmyosin cycle in muscle cells, and is consumed with each muscle contraction. However, ATP pools in the body are relatively small and are therefore consumed in a short period of time (a matter of seconds) during intense, anaerobic and alactic exercise. Creatine comes into play here where CrP (creatine Phosphate) re-establishes ATP as it is consumed by muscle as it supplies it with additional high energy phosphates. In short, creatine acts as a buffer to reduce the rate of ATP depletion during anaerobic and alactic erercise. Creatine occurs naturally in the body in relatively small amounts and the 'body building' supplements just provide an additional supply of creatine, this enables you to work harder at the gym. It does not directly contribute to muscle weight gain, however enables you to work your muscles harder.
