The best supplements for building muscle will be the best supplements for your gut. Proper digestion equates to proper breakdown/assimilation, thus macro/micronutrients can be absorbed and growth can be maximized(and deficiency states can be kept at minimum). 70% of your immune system is in your gut, and much is dependent on probiotic bacterium(as well as keeping the lining of the gut intact and not overly porous...aka no leaky gut). A healthy immune system will lead to increased recovery times, less stress, better response to inflammation and thus a better hormonal environment, and as mentioned previously, better growth. Eat clean foods(timing meals properly and consuming adequate calories, etc), keep your gut healthy with ongoing maintenance(probiotics, digestive enzymes, occasional cycles of vitamin A, glutamine, zinc, and even fermented foods), train like a beast, rest like baby, and grow like crazy. I used to take every supplement under the sun. This is much healthier, and while it doesn't sound as commercial and exciting, will be just as effective(and better for longevity).

I highly rec you pick up the following in bulk:
Creatine (take 2-5g ed. I rec 2g pre/3g post workout)
5-10lb of whey protein powder (take 150-200g ed, 40-50g x3-4 times per day)
1lb taurine (take 1-3g ed, i rec in the AM)
a good multi v
2000-5000iu VitD ed
get in lots of healthy fats and vitamins. grab some flaxseed or hemp oil and add that along with olive oil to everything you can think of. EVEN PROTEIN DRINKS! I DO IT! :p

GOOD LUCK!

One supplement almost always forgotten about, but that is EXTREMELY IMPORTANT are... ENZYMES.

See, if you use a high quality enzyme that properly digests all four of the food groups (protein, fats, carbohydrates, fibers), you will be in a much better place for all aspects of bodybuilding / fitness.

Proper enzymes help build muscle through proper breakdown and assimilation of proteins and carbs, and they additionally help with weight loss through emulsification and digestion, and they do the same for fibers as well... THAT IS if you get the right one.

I have been using a great one for years, as does my entire family, and it helps you achieve better health simply by helping the body breakdown and utilize all of the foods you take in.

They even help you get more from all of the supplements you take too.

It's my opinion no bodybuilder, fitness enthusiast or any person who simply wants to be fit and enjoy optimum health should be without a good enzyme product.

I'm sorry but LOL man. same questions over and over again what's the best supplement that works you know why the questions are being asked over and over again because there is none. you can buy a protein powder you could buy a complex carbohydrate pattern combine and make a good meal replacement shake that would help you but that's not exactly a supplement just food and a drink creatine works to a degree but that's it everything else is a bunch of bullshit and you're throwing your money away on. get yourself 20 CC's it's testosterone and then just stop thinking about things so much you're not going to kill yourself

There is no reason why one should search for supplements for developing a healthy body with muscles and all. For strong bones and muscles one should for go for diary products, greens, eggs, fish like sardines, nuts and fruits and last but not the least a good amount of water.

Periodic blood tests are highly recommended to check on the electrolytes, blood sugar, hemoglobin, kidney profile, cholesterol

Really good info here! I’ve been using Semaglutide by Bionize Pharmatech for the past few months and it’s been working great. Curious if anyone else here has tried it too?

Protein is a must you want to take whey and casein there are blends out there or you can mix them yourself. Make sure you eat plenty of nuts cheese etc when your snacking and of course get enough lean animal protein in your diet.

Lots of people are telling you creatine be careful monohydrate can really fuck your GI up I had an experience when I was 18 where I drank beer and had just a little on an empty stomach and it was fucked up.

I've heard of beta alanine in recent articles I tried it many years ago and wasn't impressed it's supposed to buffer lactic acid and assist creatine. Try it out.

If you want you can do a light testosterone booster at your age (you don't need a lot) like oat straw tincture, maca, damiana etc. you can also take glutathione or NAC with b vitamins that's a precursor to glutathione. Glutathione helps make natural creatine and repair muscles. It's a big amino acid in the body.

You also want to take vitamin D C and a B multivitamin to assist protein synth

My breakfast is collogen protein, yogurt with nuts, boiled eggs on toast. I put the protein in my coffee along with a spoonful of olive oil.
