Supplements for Golfers


Whey protein

Taking a whey protein supplement can allow a person to get more protein in their diet, through a powder or shake, to allow for optimum muscle recovery. Whey protein can also help a person lose fat and preserve muscle increase size and strength in muscles, reduce hunger and improve immune function. It is best to take a whey protein supplement 30 minutes after a golf session or fitness session. Or take during play golf. It is suggested that a person take 17-20g/100 lbs. (17-20g/45kgs). of body weight


Collagen

Collagen helps maintain the integrity of your cartilage, which is the rubber-like tissue that protects your joints. In the swing of golf help to elastic body.

BCAAs (Branched chain amino acid)

All proteins are composed of 20 difference amino acid. There are eight that the body cannot produce, which are Isoleucine, Leucine, Lysine, Methionine, Phenylalanine, Threonine, Tryptophan, and Valine, these are called essential amino acids. Essential amino acid must be ingested in food, or supplementation, to get them inside the body. BCAAs stimulate the production of insulin. The main function of insulin is to allow the circulating blood sugar to be taken up by the muscle cells and used as a source of energy. BCAAs are also anti-catabolic because they help prevent protein breakdown and muscle loss. In order to maintain muscle, especially after a hard day of golf and fitness, it is important to take a BCAAs supplement to prevent the loss of muscle and maintain energy levels. It is recommended that a person take 0.15-0.16g/kg of bodyweight per day.


Multi-vitamin

During the day, a lot of people do not ingest all of the proper vitamins and minerals that should be in their diet. Not getting essential vitamins and minerals will cause a person to become deficient pathway. With a breakdown in your metabolism, one’s performance will decrease quickly. Therefore, by incorporating a high-quality multi-vitamin with breakfast, you will reap the highest benefits, especially during performance, such as walking 18 holes during a tournament round

L-Glutamine

Glutamine plays key role in protein metabolism, cell volumizing, and anti-catabolism (breakdown of muscle tissue). Glutamine also increase your ability to secrete human Growth Hormone, which helps metabolize body fat and support new muscle growth. Active individuals should take 10-15 grams of L- glutamine per day. To reap the full benefits, especially in the gym, taking L-glutamine can bring one’s golf game to the next level.


Creatine

The most researched supplement out there is creatine. The general consensus is that creatine is an essential supplement to take. I might even say that it is the number one supplement a person, athlete or not, should take. Here is why:

@ Strength jolt. Creatine helps your muscles build phosphocreatine, which gives you the ability to perform better at shorter, intense, strength building exercises.

@Quicker start. It has been shown that creatine can significantly improve a muscle power production by 10% (think about it, creatine may help you hit the ball farther).

@Boosts testosterone in men. Testosterone help a male keep energy, endurance, strength, and mental sharpness in order. Creatine can boost these elements to improve performance.

@More productivity. Creatine has been proven to help productivity within the day. That means you can get more out of your golf training, fitness sessions and school work.


Dextrose anhydrous

When we ingest dextrose anhydrous (glucose), it does not have to be digested. Glucose enters the bloodstream directly, therefore making it one of the “fastest-acting” carbohydrates. It is identical to the blood sugar produced by our bodies and is transported by the blood directly to all organs and cells in the body, including the brain. The brain needs a huge amount of energy, and its preferred source is glucose.

The human body needs carbohydrates as a source of energy for the brain functions, for every muscle movement, for supplying the heart, lungs and intestines, and for generating warmth.
The brain is our most important “control center”. There are two reasons why glucose is vital to the functioning of the brain: 

When the brain is supposed to work at an optimal performance level, it needs a steady, even and sufficient supply of glucose.

Glucose is the preferred source of energy for the brain and the entire nervous system.
