Optimum Nutrition for Bodybuilders

Optimum Nutrition is a sports nutrition brand that really knows the needs of bodybuilders on the professional competitive circuit. And so they should – Team ON are a group of pro bodybuilders (male and female) sponsored by Optimum Nutrition and very proud to use the Optimum Nutrition products with great success in their quest for bodybuilding glory.

The first thing that any bodybuilder needs is a good protein supplement. Protein is essential for building muscle tissue. Muscle tissue is built from amino acids formed into chains. Not all of these amino acids can be synthesized by the body, so it is important to get them through the diet. And if extra large muscles are your desire – and that is the whole goal of bodybuilding, after all – lots of extra protein is needed. And for the sake of your health and overall appearance, it’s important that this protein is low in fat. These protein supplements should also be easy to take in snack form through the day, and possibly in a form that can be added to other food to increase overall protein intake.

Optimum Nutrition’s supplements certainly tick all the boxes when it comes to protein supplements.

Most, if not all ON’s protein supplements come in powder form so they can easily be make into protein shakes for post-workout nutrition, using water or milk as you prefer, and these powders are also easy to add into yoghurts, desserts, curries and the like. With this “add to your food” idea in mind, Optimum Nutrition has developed one protein supplement – the Any Whey powder from its best-selling 100% Whey Gold Standard range – that is flavor-free so it can be added to savory foods without requiring you to get used to eating banana or chocolate flavored stews and omelet's (however, if tasty flavors are your thing, try the 100% Whey variety pack, which has a selection of 16 different flavors to try).

Whey protein supplements are the area that Optimum Nutrition has bodybuilding supplements specialized in – as already mentioned, the 100% Whey Gold Standard is ON’s best seller. However, O.N. doesn’t just stop there with protein supplements. Some people prefer to use casein protein as a dietary supplement, as this is a slow-releasing protein that produces a great feeling of satisfaction and fullness (and if you want to combine the benefits of faster-acting whey with slower-release casein, try the Gold Standard 24 Pak). As both whey and casein are dairy-based proteins and some people on the pro bodybuilding circuit have dairy intolerances or are vegetarian/vegan, Optimum Nutrition also manufacture a range of egg protein products and soy protein supplements.

Bodybuilders also need to take advantage of a range of strength enhancing supplements. One of ON’s other top sellers is the Vassive line of NOx enhancers for increased vascularity and blood flow in the muscle tissues – in simple terms, they get you pumped for a better workout and a better look in your muscles. Optimum Nutrition offers many more completely legal performance enhancers, and strength and recovery nutritional supplements to body builders, including Creatine supplements, ZMA (Zinc Monomethionine Aspartate, which is delivered in combination with Vitamin B6 and Magnesium Aspartate for maximum mass-boosting effect).
