need supplement suggestion - Bodybuilding Discussion on Bodybuilding.net Supplement Forum

codefreaq · 05-18-2008, 04:18 PM

I am 24 and weigh 175.Just started out training and I am looking for only one or two supplements which are essential and dont have any side effects like hairloss etc. I am not looking to become herculese so I am just looking for something which keeps body fat in check and assists in muscle growth.So what would be that one essential supplement you think I must take. thanks

Whey protein!

If I had to choose only one it would have to be the Whey protein.

Amino acids are really helpful, but as long as you eat a balanced diet, including meats, nuts, dairy products, eggs, and other animal-based foods, you don't have to buy them, but you can also buy them separately.

Yes protein and more protein. What builds muscle? Protein. 300 grams or more a day.

2grams of arginine before a workout is fun and cheap
