What Are Workout Supplements? 

Workout supplements are products designed to support your training, recovery, or nutrition goals. They aren’t magic. But they can help you train harder, recover faster, and feel better when used strategically.

Common categories include:

  • Protein (whey, casein, plant-based)

  • Creatine

  • Electrolytes

  • Amino acids (BCAAs, EAAs)

  • Pre-workouts

  • Greens and reds blends

Why Supplements Can Make a Difference 

1. Fill Nutrient Gaps 

Most people don’t get enough protein, magnesium, or omega-3s from food alone. Supplements can help plug the gap.

2. Support Consistency 

Hitting 150g of protein daily is hard with food alone. A shake makes it easy.

Example:

  • Add 2 scoops of protein to oats = 40g of protein before noon

3. Enhance Performance & Recovery

Creatine increases strength. Magnesium prevents cramps. Caffeine improves focus.

4. Convenience & Time-Saving 

It’s not about replacing food. It’s about being realistic.

When NOT to Use Supplements

Supplements are support, not the foundation.
