So I know your asking what is the best type of supplement I should take to pack on muscle mass? The answer will surprise you a little I bet.
The best supplement isn’t an energy drink or an NO 2 pill or creatine powder.
The most effective thing would have to be protein.
After all that’s what muscles are made up of proteins, So its only logical that protein would be the best.
If you weight train you will know that in order for you to gain any muscle at all you have to workout the muscle and tear the fiber. Then if and only if, you are taking in a certain amount of protein on a daily basis.
The rule is 1.5 grams of protein for every lean pound of muscle you have on your frame. So your body recovers faster if you are eating more protein.
It also builds harder leaner muscle mass if you take an increased protein intake when working out.
Best muscle building supplement to look for is different types of protein?
The best type would have to be whey isolate protein it is made of better quality that break the protein down better in the body.
The next to that is Whey it self, it has high amounts of branch chain amino acids. Which are good for the body..
The next best protein as far as supplementing it goes would have to be Micellar Casein protein, it is better to find a blend of all three because casein is delivered to your muscle slower than the rest and the idea is to eat a blended protein that continues to supply your muscles with a steady supply of nutrients through out the day for maximum growth and gains.
