Pre Workout Nutritional Supplements Fight Muscle Breakdown

Conventional wisdom has always dictated taking carbohydrates and supplements after a workout for the best effect. But some recent studies are showing that pre workout nutritional supplements can have surprisingly positive results. Taking supplements before working out increases anabolic response, of course, but it has also been shown to have an anti-catabolic effect. Anabolic – a term that gets the lion's share of the attention when it comes to bodybuilding – refers to the promotion of muscle growth. However, muscle is also in a slow but constant state of breakdown, which is what we mean when we say catabolic. Taking pre workout nutritional supplements slows down muscle breakdown while promoting muscle growth, two key components of lean body mass gains.

Just like a post-workout supplement, good pre workout nutritional supplements contain protein and carbohydrates, the former to encourage the muscle building process and the latter to provide your body with the raw material it needs to do the job. Tp get the best effect out of your supplement, look for one that has a ratio of about 6 grams of carbs for every gram of protein you take in. For example, a supplement with 6 grams of protein (equivalent to about 10 grams of whey powder) should have 30 – 35 grams of carbohydrates. Many pre workout nutritional supplements contain creatine for increased strength or thermogenic ingredients (usually stimulants like caffeine) to burn fat more quickly.
