Should be taken immediately upon waking and post workout. • Casein Protein • Slow adsorbing protein. Used for longer durations without food, such as right before bed.

  16. Creatine Creatine supplementation improves repeated bouts of high-intensity exercise, such as sprinting, weight lifting or power sports. • Can be taken before, during, and after each workout. • Individuals should consume plenty of water while supplementing with creatine.

  17. Caffeine Caffeine has been used by endurance athletes for years as a way to stay alert and improve endurance. • Should be consumed before about 15-30 minutes before a workout. • Ex. Pre-Workout formulas, fat burners, caffeine pills

  18. Amino Acids Amino acids play central roles both as building blocks of proteins and as intermediates in metabolism. • The human can produce 10 of the 20 amino acids. The other ten essential amino acids have to either be consumed through food or supplementation.

  19. Side Effects of Supplementation • Using more than the recommended serving size of a supplement, or “overdosing”, can lead to liver problems. • Ingesting too much of certain vitamins can be very toxic to the body and could cause an individual to become very ill.
