Health officials: Don't eat lobster tomalley (AP)
AP - Maine officials are advising consumers to avoid eating lobster tomalley after tests revealed high levels of toxins chlorella supplements some lobsters.When most people think of supplements for body builders, their mind may immediately jump to steroids. In fact, there are many safe and effective supplements on the market to boost energy and enhance the results of a good workout.
So what are they and who uses them?
Traditionally, as the name suggests, bodybuilding supplements were used by people who wanted to build muscle bulk and lose body fat. Today, these supplements are being used by an increasingly diverse range of people as a way to get better results from all those hours in the gym.
Amino acids play an important role in many of the body's functions - some are essential and others are not. Some, such as L-Carnitine, are important for the fat burning process, but contrary to fad opinion, they do not necessarily need to be taken in supplement form. A healthy body just doesn't lose its L-Carnitine!
However, other amino acids, such as Gamma Aminobutyric Acid (GABA) can be very effective in supplement form. Gaba is classified as a neurotransmitter, and in numerous medical research studies, has shown to increase the plasma growth hormone levels.
Other supplements include protein powders, which provide calories for muscles building, rather than the 'empty calories' of some carbohydrates. Protein powders are often used as a way to build body mass without gaining fat. Protein bars work in much the same way, but should be largely avoided by people who don't work them off again!
Vitamin and mineral supplements also provide valuable nutritional replacement. Chromium, for instance, is a mineral easily passed through sweat, so a supplement is useful in this case. Chromium is important for balancing blood sugar levels, and can be useful for anyone with too much of a sweet tooth.
Some of the top supplements on the market
Some of the best supplements to look out for include Musashi, AST, Redbak, Gen-Tec, Vital Strength, Muscletec and Body Science.
AST make an Ephedra-free energy supplement, "Dymetadrine Xtreme", which was developed in response the to the banning of supplements containing Ephedra after the US Food and Drug Administration banned the ingredient in 2004. Since 2007, it has been illegal to sell any supplements containing the highly potent stimulant in the US.
AST claim they went 'back to the drawing board' to create a supplement that would boost energy, increasing the intensity of a workout. If fatigue sets in, a workout can become sluggish. With energy-boosting supplements, both the amount of weight that can be lifted and the length of the workout can be increased.
Many energy-boosting supplements contain caffeine, which provide a quicker energy boost. However, there are some available that are herbal based, containing ingredients such as ginseng, which provide a more long-term energy boost.
In addition to a good training regime and a sensible eating plan, body building supplements can improve results in both muscle gain and fat loss. They can also help to maintain good health, by providing the body with essential nutrients for optimum performance.
