Supplements that Work Better Together

Protein Bar / Thermogenic
A number of reasons exist why this combination can aid you in your efforts to improve body composition. For starters, packing a top-quality protein bar is always preferable to making a trip to the snack machine for some junk-carb-laden chips or candy. When choosing between supporting muscle mass with a high-quality protein source or storing away excess fat with carbs, the choice should be easy. Keep in mind that "high quality" is the key phrase here. At ProSource, we've long been fans of the protein bar category's premier combination of gourmet flavor and super-premium nutrition, the Supreme Protein bar. Regularly providing healthy calories and nutrients helps to maintain your metabolism, but more importantly can help keep you from getting to a point of no return with hunger. Another fantastic addition to your regimen is a powerful thermogenic like BioQuest's BetaStax. BetaStax will provide you with a burst of energy that will keep you stoked between meals, while also powering you through an intense workout. And BetaStax's PureWay-Slim thermogenic matrix has been linked in a landmark clinical study to significant reductions in body weight and waist and hip circumferences. In combination, these two co-factors can go a long way toward making your physique goals a reality.

Creatine / Beta-Alanine
Hollywood has its power couples; this combination is sports nutrition's version of a power couple. No single supplement has as much research to support its use as does creatine. For the last decade or so, research on creatine supplementation has shown it to have a powerful ability to improve strength, build muscle and lead to a greater completion of work during strength and power workouts. Just make sure you purchase a creatine supplement sourced with CreaPure German creatine monohydrate, the world's best, as found in ProSource brand Creatine. Beta-alanine, meanwhile, is hot on the heels of creatine when it comes to generating positive scientific buzz. In the last few years, a number of studies have shown this supplement to improve training volume, postpone fatigue, and hasten recovery. ProSource's stand-alone Beta Alanine product is widely celebrated in this category, as is BioQuest's more comprehensive Alpha Fury pre-workout supplement. Both products work to help make your body more resistant to fatigue, which means the intensity and overall amount of work completed during your workouts will go up. All of this results in greater adaptations to your training program.

Whey Protein Isolate / Creatine
No combination of sports nutrition supplements has as much scientific support for their use as this combination. Whey protein isolate is considered by many to be the best quality protein available. Whether you seek powerful nutrition for your workouts or for your health, whey protein delivers on both accounts. ProSource's industry-leading NytroWhey Ultra Elite has you covered with fast-acting whey isolate, as well as even swifter-acting hydrolyzed whey and four times the leucine of competing whey products. Add to whey's power punch with creatine, an ingredient with a long list of supportive research. Whether you seek more strength, more muscle, more endurance or better recovery, creatine allows your muscles to be pushed to the edge. Just make sure you stick with the world's finest creatine, the CreaPure German creatine monohydrate found in ProSource brand Creatine. The result: Better workouts and a better you!

Glutamine / BCAAs
You train to build your body, specifically your muscles. Those muscles are made up of amino acids that get depleted from the heavy training you do. Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in your muscle and has been used for decades for its ability to facilitate recovery and prevent muscle breakdown. The branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are key sources of fuel for your muscles during long, stressful workouts and are critically important in turning on muscle growth. Their presence in muscle helps to drive that valuable metabolic activity you desire. ProSource's glutamine products (Glutamine, Mega Glutamine, and Ultra Glutamine) and Mega BCAA have long been acclaimed as the industry's gold standard for these anabolic and anti-catabolic super nutrients.

Whey Protein Isolate / Waxy Maize Carbohydrate
Maximum workouts require maximum recovery and the combination of a whey protein isolate with a complex carbohydrate will provide the nutrients needed to jumpstart your recovery. WPI provides essential amino acids, glutamine and branched-chain amino acids, giving you the greatest growth and recovery potential available. Meanwhile, high-intensity workouts rapidly deplete stored carbohydrate, leading to increased muscle breakdown, increased cortisol and suppression of muscle growth. Restoring lost carbohydrate reserves helps to facilitate rapid recovery of lost muscle glycogen, which leaves your body ready to grow and on the fast track to being ready for your next workout. While you could certainly purchase these two supplements separately, a solid all-in-one formulation like BioQuest's MuscleMaize provides both in one high-potency product for supporting rapid muscle recovery and dramatic growth.

Thermogenic / Green Tea
For many experts, calories in and calories out are the name of the game when it comes to diet support. The combination of a thermogenic and green tea will certainly do its part to increase the calories burned by your body. Green tea's powerful catechins, including epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), have long been linked to positive physique benefits, while keeping your mind sharp and your metabolism cranking. Top-quality products like ProSource's Ultra GTX are specifically formulated to contain high levels of bioactive EGCGs while yielding only a tiny amount of caffeine. At the same time, an advanced thermogenic like BioQuest's BetaStax can add a burst of intensity to your workout efforts while its PureWay-Slim thermogenic matrix has been linked in a landmark clinical study to significant reductions in body weight and waist and hip circumferences. Combine this powerful pair with a healthy, restricted calorie diet and a solid commitment to an exercise program and you can create an environment in which body composition changes will occur.

Thermogenic / CLA
Healthy weight loss takes time. You didn't put it on in a week so you can't expect it to come off in a week. In addition to a healthy, restricted calorie diet and a regular exercise program, adding a thermogenic and conjugated linoleic acid (CLA) acid to your program may do the trick. Thermogenics are popular and a top-quality product like BioQuest's BetaStax contain a matrix of key ingredients that will increase your calorie burning rate, maintain your hunger and cravings and keep your mind sharp and focused on your goals. Add to the mix a CLA product and you'll have a combination of ingredients that has been shown in a number of research studies to stimulate body weight loss and favorable shifts in body composition, which means less fat and more muscle. ProSource's Tonalin CLA product contains CLA content that is recognized the world over as the premier source of this key agent of body composition enhancement. Used over the course of several weeks to months along with a healthy lifestyle could lead to the results you've been working so hard to achieve.

Meal-Replacement / Fish Oil
Science and nutrition experts may not agree on much, but most agree that the more frequently you are able to regularly supply your body with solid nutrients, the better off you will be! Fish oil and a meal-replacement (MRP) should be key considerations as you go about the daily challenge of getting good nutrition. An elite-quality MRP like ProSource's NutriPure Supreme provides a good healthy dose of high quality protein (whey isolate), complex carbohydrates and a wide spectrum of key vitamins and minerals, all invaluable for the busy person on the go. Meanwhile, a potent Omega-3 fish oil blend like ProSource's Omega-1250 will help keep harmful inflammation at bay, a key benefit for workout warriors, while adding important antioxidant benefits. This combination is about as good a start to a supplementation regimen as you can get.
