• Multivitamin
• Essential Fatty Acids
• Protein

A multivitamin will provide you with necessary vitamins and minerals.  Essential fatty acids, particularly fish oil, will provide many benefits including boosting metabolism and preventing cardiovascular disease (see article section).  A protein supplement can help you achieve adequate protein intake to recover from intense training.  The general rule of thumb for building muscle is consuming at least 1 gram of protein per pound of bodyweight.  A protein supplement can help you achieve that total.  Drink at least one gallon of water daily.



The Intermediate Package

• Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's)
• Glutamine
• Creatine
• L-Carnitine
• Green Tea

Branch Chained Amino Acids and Glutamine not only prevent muscle breakdown, but aid in recovery and promote growth as well.  Higher doses around workout time are beneficial, especially for those dieting and training hard.  Creatine can boost ATP production and yield greater strength and endurance. 

L-Carnitine and Green Tea can burn fat as well as provide many other health benefits.  L-Carnitine enhances fat oxidation and cellular metabolization, is a potent antioxidant, can improve cognitive function and provide cardiovascular benefits.  Green Tea extracts can stimulate thermogenesis to burn fat and also curb appetite.  Green tea is also a potent antioxidant and can stimulate the immune system.
