At PureTrain we have therefore made it easy for you by identifying the following 5 key dietary supplements that have been proven to enhance personal fitness and performance.

side-effects. In fact, dietary supplements are simply natural substances found in things like mother's milk, steak or even the body itself, but in a pure concentrated form. When taken as part of a controlled fitness programme, dietary supplements can have lasting beneficial effects in areas such as increased muscle gain,

                Energy Replacer

                PureTrain Energy Replacer                 is an maltodextran carbo-
                hydrate drink. Maltodextrins
                are easily digestible complex
                carbohydrates made from natural corn starch. Because it is a complex carbo-hydrate, maltodextrin
is suitable for anyone wanting to gain weight in the form of muscle rather
than fat, including bodybuilders, rugby players, sprinters and other strength athletes. Maltodextrin improves performance when consumed during
long preiods of exercise and can speed up recovery when taken after training.

                Whey Protein

                Over the past few years,
                Whey Protein supplements
                have become popular with
                anyone who wants to lose
                fat and build muscle. Every bodybuilder knows protein is one of the most important nutrients you need in your diet and Whey Protein is by far the best. Whey proteins supply essential amino acids and are a precursor to building muscle but are depleted through workouts. Using Whey Protein when weight training helps build muscle, enhances your endurance and reduces muscle deterioration.

                   Creatine + Glutamine

                   Creatine is the best selling
                   sports supplement of all
                   time! Using Creatine as part
                   of your training routine will
                   provide you with more energy when you work your muscles to fatigue. Creatine can be very beneficial
to the athlete who does sprinting, weight lifting and any other quick burst activity. You should find that by taking Creatine you are able to do more reps, sets or weights before hitting the fatigue point.

                   Tribestan™

                   Tribulus Terrestris
                   (Tribestan™) is a herb

                   effects around the world
                   and as a natural nutritional supplement. In training Tribulus is used for its testosterone boosting properties more than anything else. We all know that testosterone helps build muscle
and strength. Using Tribulus Terrestris (Tribestan™) results in greater muscle mass and stamina and facilitates muscle recovery by working within the body's natural limits.

                   HMB

                   HMB is a natural compound
                   produced in the body in
                   very small amounts and

                   muscle tissue in response
to exercises and helps to reduce body fat. There has been extensive research done on HMB that well documents its effectiveness in helping reduce muscle breakdown and helping muscle gain from strenuous exercising.
