Build Muscle: Whey Protein, Creatine and Supplements for Strength Training

Building muscle mass takes training, nutrition and rest. A growth in muscle mass comes from consistent strength training, an adequate intake of protein and energy, and enough rest. Supplements help you meet your needs in a practical way, but they are not a substitute for a varied and balanced diet.

Whey protein and other protein sources. You will find whey concentrate and isolate — MyProtein Impact Whey, BioTechUSA 100% Pure Whey and Iso Whey Zero, Applied Nutrition ISO-XP and Critical Whey — plus micellar casein, beef protein and plant protein. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. Explore protein, whey isolate and casein.

Creatine monohydrate and Creapure®. We stock creatine from Optimum Nutrition, MyProtein (Impact and PRO Creapure®), OstroVit, Quamtrax, Skill Nutrition and MuscleTech, as powder or chewable tablets. Creatine increases physical performance in successive bursts of short-term, high-intensity exercise. The beneficial effect is obtained with a daily intake of 3 g of creatine, in adults performing high-intensity exercise. See all creatine.

Mass gainers. If you struggle to reach your daily calories, gainers such as MuscleTech Mass Tech Extreme 2000 or OstroVit Anabolic Gainer (the product's trade name) combine carbohydrates and protein in a single serving. More options in mass gainers.

Amino acids and other products. EAA, BCAA, HMB, L-glutamine, citrulline malate and beta-alanine (which may cause a temporary, harmless tingling) are described by their composition, without health claims. See the amino acids collection.
