Energy Supplements

Reaching for a cup of coffee or an energy drink when your reserves are low is a quick fix to increase energy. But for more sustained energy levels, a good balance of nutrients and vitamins is far more effective.

One of the most commonly used energy supplements is creatine, a common ingredient in nearly all energy supplements and power supplements. Creatine is a nitrogenous organic acid that occurs naturally in vertebrates and helps to supply energy to the muscles. Its use in supplements has been extensive and in the last few years it has become increasingly popular as an aid to increase energy levels as well as promoting the development of muscles. Creatine supplementation continues to be investigated as a possible therapeutic approach for the treatment of muscular, neuromuscular, neurological and neurodegenerative diseases, but its most common use is in energy supplements and power supplements.

Good quality energy supplements will contain a range of essential vitamins and nutrients, all designed to boost the body’s energy levels over a sustained period rather than as short, sporadic bursts as is often the case with caffeine-based energy drinks and other products. These ingredients include other beneficial nutrients such as Lysine, which helps to promote the production of essential restorative hormones and enzymes. Glycine triggers the release of oxygen for the energy-requiring cell-making process and also further enhances the manufacturing of essential hormones.

By incorporating a high quality energy supplement into your diet, you are increasing your ability to sustain your energy reserves. Combining this with a diet that includes slow-release energy foods such as oats, will enable you to call upon extra reserves of power during physical training, helping you put more effort into your programme and therefore get more out.
