Body Building Supplements - continued
Libido and testosterone support are of utmost importance to bodybuilders, and are often treated with the same compounds in similar formulations. This sub-category of bodybuilding supplements serves two purposes: preventing the loss of libido associated with strict dieting and intense training, as well as increasing testosterone levels, providing more muscle, better recovery, and intesity during workouts. Supplements such as tribulus, Avena sativa, fenugreek, and Vitex Angus castus have grown in popularity for their ability to boost serum and free, or ��unbound�� testosterone, and other sex-hormones such as Leutinizing Hormone (LH) and Follicle Stimulating Hormone (FSH), as well as producing a marked decrease in Serum Hormone Binding Globulin (SHBG), the hormone responsible for binding testosterone and rendering it useless. In addition, vasodilators such as arginine (in various forms), yohimbe, horny goat weed, and glycerol can all increase libido and vascularity by dilating blood vessels, allowing more blood to flow to human genetalia, increasing sensation and performance. Some anecdotal evidence suggests that these supplements, specifically arginine, and the product Nastura�� work just as well for women as they do for men
Quite often bodybuilding diets are seriously lacking in fiber, especially ketogenic (low-carb) diets that don��t include many vegetables. Fiber consumption promotes bowel regularity (another common problem on ketogenic diets). In addition, certain fibers, such as Chitosan, have demonstrated the ability to block absorption of dietary fats. Another common ailment among both bodybuilders and power-lifters is joint problems. Joint support products such as shark cartilage, MSM, and Hyaluronic Acid can help strengthen and rebuild joint and connective tissue, preventing injury as well as helping rehabilitate joints from previous injuries. In addition to joint problems, oftentimes bodybuilders place undue stress on their body��s detoxification organs, which is why liver and kidney support products such as Silymarin (from milk thistle), lecithin, N-Acetyl-Cystine, and R-Alpha Lipoic Acid are commonly used to combat oxidative stress and revitalize the liver and kidneys.
Hormones such as Melatonin, which is the hormone believed to be responsible for regulating the body��s ��internal clock,�� decline with age and are a safer alternative to Rx sleeping pills. Insomnia is common among bodybuilders in a hypocaloric state or during intense training. Other mood and stress relief products such as NOW Foods�� Relora�� or Ergopharm��s Psychotropin are two fairly new products with lots of positive feedback attesting to their ability to lower stress while improving both mood and cognitive function.
