Muscle-Building Supplements: Whey Protein, Creatine and Mass Gainers

Muscle-building supplements in Portugal. Building muscle depends above all on consistent strength training, a diet with enough energy and protein, and adequate rest. Supplements do not replace any of these pillars, but they make it more practical to meet your daily needs. In this collection you will find whey protein, creatine, mass gainers, pre-workouts and amino acids from brands such as Optimum Nutrition, MyProtein, Applied Nutrition, BioTechUSA, Dymatize and OstroVit.

Protein: the foundation of a muscle-building diet. Whey protein is a practical way to increase your protein intake throughout the day. Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass, to the maintenance of muscle mass and to the maintenance of normal bones. You can choose whey concentrate, whey isolate or casein protein, depending on your preferences for flavour, fat and carbohydrate content, and price.

Creatine monohydrate. Creatine monohydrate is one of the most widely used supplements among people who strength train. 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. You will find creatine as a powder, in capsules and as chewable tablets, including Creapure® options.

Mass gainers for those who need more calories. If you struggle to eat enough, mass gainers combine protein and carbohydrates in a single serving, making it easier to increase your daily calorie intake. Always check the energy per serving, which varies considerably between products.

Pre-workouts and amino acids. Caffeine-based pre-workouts and amino acids (EAAs, citrulline, beta-alanine, glutamine) are optional extras. There are no authorised health claims for most individual amino acids, so we only describe their composition and dose.

FAQ — Do I need supplements to build muscle? No. It is possible to build muscle with appropriate training and diet alone; supplements are a practical help when it is hard to meet your protein or energy needs through food.
