Dietary Supplements, Proteins, Carbohydrates. Creatine, Amino-acids-Branched-ChainAbstract
The promise of quick results in muscle mass, body definition, fat reduction and body weight is contributing to the abuse of nutritional supplements. However, prior to the prescription of any supplementation, it is necessary to adequate the nutrients intake from the diet. The intake of the right amount of calories, carbohydrates, proteins, fats, vitamins and minerals is the fundamental basis for any physical activity practitioner. And the primary supplementation should occur when you cannot meet the daily requirement of nutrients through food. There are over two hundred and fifty types of food supplements described. The supplements may contain carbohydrates, proteins, fats, minerals, vitamins, herbs, enzymes of the intermediary metabolism substances (such as amino acids) and various types of animal and plant extracts. This article is a review of the nutritional supplements which have consistent scientific studies: carbohydrates, proteins, BCAAs (Branched Chain Amino Acids) and creatine. The aim is to provide clarification and guide the medical community about the indications, benefits and risks of these substances.
