Supplements

In general, the word supplement refers to anything added to your diet to make up for a nutritional deficiency. While supplements like the iron and folic acid tables, calcium or multi-vitamin tablets are still quite common, the term has also come to refer to all sorts of bodybuilding supplements taken by gym-goers to enhance their physique and reach their goals faster. There’s a lot of information on supplements on the internet these days and TheHealthSite.com tries to separate the wheat from the chaff, the good ones from the dangerous ones. In general, supplement can be categorised under the following: Multivitamin and multimineral formulae, protein supplements (powders, bars, shakes, etc.), carbohydrate powders, branched chain amino acids (BCAA), fat burners and pre-workout supplements. Of course there are many more supplements, many of which combine two or more of the following mentioned above.
