These products are used in place of regular meals. Meal replacements contain a good amount of proteins, carbohydrates, and all necessary vitamins and minerals. Some of the meal replacement products for bodybuilders include supplements like creatine monohydrate and gluatamine, adding to the effectiveness of these products.

 

Creatine monohydrate is a naturally occurring organic substance present in human body. Creatine increased the strength, energy, muscle mass and also aids in the speedy recovery after the workouts. Creatine also helps in the pumping of muscles by increased water retention by the cells. This aids in getting extra pump and size while working out. Some of the interesting recent studies have shown that creatine helps in increase of brain functions like recognition and reduced mental fatigue.

 

 

 

Glutamine is naturally occurring amino acid found in human muscles. Glutamine aids in strengthening of immune system and helps in stopping muscles lose. Human body can replenish the required amount of glutamine, however the intense work out routine of bodybuilders might lead to deficiency. In addition, glutamine plays an important role in the protein synthesis so most of the protein supplements include glutamine or it is available separately. Many bodybuilders have found this substance as an essential component of their daily diet.
