Essential Men's Fitness

Protocol overview

Compare your current stack nutrients to the outlined protocol recommendations.

The Essential Men’s Fitness Support Protocol is developed to support the specific fitness and muscle-building goals for men. It emphasizes nutrients that aid in muscle recovery, energy production, and overall physical performance.

This Protocol incorporates Creatine Monohydrate, Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs), and Beta-Alanine. These supplements are popular among fitness enthusiasts and athletes for their roles in muscle synthesis, endurance, and recovery.

3 Nutrients

Be

Beta-Alanine

2g

Beta-Alanine is a non-essential amino acid that combines with histidine to form carnosine in muscles. Carnosine acts as a buffer against the accumulation of lactic acid, potentially reducing fatigue during prolonged exercise. [1]

Branched-Chain Amino Acids

5g

Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) including leucine, isoleucine, and valine, are essential amino acids that play a key role in protein synthesis and muscle repair. They can also help reduce muscle soreness after workouts. You can take pre- or post-workout, or during your workout to support muscle performance and recovery. [2]

Cr

Creatine

3g

Creatine Monohydrate is a well-researched supplement that is fundamental for the production of ATP, the primary energy carrier in cells, which is particularly beneficial during high-intensity exercise. [3]

Warnings

Do Not Take With: Caffeinated products if sensitive to caffeine or using pre-workout supplements, as beta-alanine and caffeine can cause increased nervousness or tingling when taken together.

Do Not Take If: You have a pre-existing medical condition, especially kidney or liver conditions, without consulting a healthcare provider due to the metabolism of creatine and amino acids.

To complement this Protocol, ensure a balanced diet high in protein, complex carbohydrates, and healthy fats, along with adequate hydration and rest for optimal recovery and muscle growth. Always consult with a healthcare provider before starting any new supplement regimen, particularly if you have any health concerns or are taking other medications.
