Supplement Buyer's Guides & Nutrition Buyer's Guides

We have a wide range of body supplements and nutrition products so to help you choose the right supplements to help you get the perfect body we have created some Supplement information and nutrition information pages called the Supplement Buyer's Guides and Nutrition Buyer's Guides.

Each Buyers Guide has been broken down into sections to help you understand a little more about what each supplement and/or nutrition will do for your body and what the supplements and nutritions do to help in giving you the perfect body you are looking for.

Ok lets start with the basics which we all need to know if we are just starting out or even if we have been working out and using supplements for years. The basics you will need to know about are Creatine, Proteins, Glutamine and Weight Gainers (if you need them) so lets get a start here on them and then you can click on an article bellow you would like more information on.

Protein Supplements

Protein supplements are the building blocks of muscles so anything else would come secondary after protein. There are four main types of protein - casein protein, egg protein, soy protein and whey protein. We are only going to talk about Whey Protein as this is the best and main protein for muscle building. You have most likely heard about whey protein and thats because its the best protein for bodybuilding and all body builders will tell you the same thing.
Whey Protein is the fastest absorbing protein and due to this fact it leads to 69% increase in the protein synthesis, unlike the others which only give you 31%. Due to whey proteins fast absorbing it is recommended that you use it within 45 minutes of your workout's'. I would have to say that one of the best whey proteins I have used is Scitec Nutrition 100% Whey Protein, its easy to mix and tastes great plus best of all its very low priced starting at just £20.

Creatine Supplements

Creatine is a natural nutrition found in the human body. Creatine is made from three amino acids called arginine, glycine and methionine. The energy your muscles use for quick and explosive movements comes from this creatine. Taking an extra Creatine Monohydrate helps your workouts as creatine comes from food and/or supplements.

Weight Gainer Supplements

Weight gainers are packed full of carbs, calories and protein so that even the toughest weight gainers can put on some good weight making our weight gainers a godsend for all in need of a little extra weight gaining.
It can be hard work to get all the extra calories you need each day from just eating food, which is the fastest way to gain weight by eating more calories then you can expend. Weight  gainers help to give you these extra calories and make gaining weight much easier. Take for example the Monster Food 6lb Weight Gainer having a huge 1260 calories and it digests fat without slowing you down or bloating and with a delicious taste.

Carbohydrate Supplements

Most bodybuilders will concentrate on making sure their protein intake is on course without thinking about their carbohydrate intake at all. Carbs are a vital part of the puzzle. They come in two froms, simple and complex. Simple carbs are found in natural and processed sugars and quicky absorbs into the body for use as energy. Complex are found such as wheat, bread, oatmeal, rice and potatoes. Complex carbohydrate take much longer for the body to turn into energy and give you long lasting energy.

Carbohydrates play two key roles in muscle building. As stated before, the first is energy for the body. Secondly is when your insulin spikes post workout and you need carbs to raise insulin levels. Scitec Nutrition's Vitargo is perfect for elite athletes, and provides a effective and problem free carbohydrate energy source.

Fat Burner Supplements

Using the right supplements along with a strict diet, weight excercises and sufficent cardio workouts are instrumental to lossing weight. The supplements you choose will help you reach your targets quicker by burning extra fat. Fat burners operate on the priciple of thermogenisis, which is the process where fat is broken down. The fat burner supplements speed up your metabolic rate, to burn stored fat, mobolise and break down fat cells and inhibit fat cells from enlarging.

Products such as Scitec Nutrition's Carni-FX is enhanced with L-carnitine which plays a crucial role in the fat breakdown within the body. It also helps with recovery and cardiovascular metabolism.

Hormone and Testosterone Booster Supplements

Testosterone is needed by the body to build muscle and in general health. There are several  effects that testosterone can have on the body. It increases lipid metabolism, which maximises fat loss. Testosterone also increases creatine phosphatase. which enhances muscle strength and volume, improves heart muscle development which in turn boosts cardio vascular. It also improves libido. Products like Scitec's Tribolan provide a delicate mix of testosterone and muscle enhancing ingredients, powering you to the ultimate body.

Isotonic Supplements

Isotonic-capable supplements are delivered nutritionally concentrated into the small intestine, maximising the opportunity for absorption of nutrients across cell membranes. IsoTec from Scitec Nutrition improves water absorption and retention as well as replenishing electrolytes and lost nutrients. Great to be taken throught a workout as well as afterwards to boost energy levels.
