Any athlete is faced with the question of supplying his body with a sufficient amount of nutrients, since muscle growth directly depends on this. It must be understood that the need for these substances is many times greater for an athlete than for a person with a normal level of activity. This is due to the high energy costs during sports, and the fact that growing muscle mass requires a building resource. The most important component in the nutrition of athletes are proteins. What is protein? This is a protein concentrate. Most often it is available in powder form. Cells produce protein to build muscle from amino acids, and their source is just proteins. Reviews of athletes who have made them an essential component in the diet clearly demonstrate an increase in muscle gain while maintaining the same level of exercise.
That is why athletes are faced with the choice of optimal protein supplements - especially beginners, since those who have long been in sports have usually already formed a circle of priorities in dietary supplements. I immediately want to answer the natural question about the dangers of proteins. Proteins are not hormonal drugs. They can do harm only with special nephropathologies, but in these cases, patients are always notified about the impossibility of taking such funds. Another important point: it is impossible to make food only protein, if only because without other substances the protein will not be absorbed.
The choice of protein preparations for athletes is huge. It is very important to choose a really high-quality product, because low-quality dietary supplements will not only not give the expected result, but they can also bring significant harm. Let's take a closer look at the famous Atlant sports nutrition brand . The protein of this manufacturer is famous for its low quality, lack of effectiveness and side effects. What is wrong with him? At first glance, everything looks great. The manufacturers of this brand allegedly took care not only of supplying the body with amino acids, but also of those substances that help their absorption. A whole line of protein complexes with additives is presented: Atlant 80% plus Glutamine, Atlant Ultra, Atlant 80%, Atlant plus Creatine. The basis everywhere is protein, plus substances that help its optimal absorption. It is possible to purchase the drug in different packages. Reading the composition and indications, you might think that the ideal solution for sports nutrition is the products of the Atlant brand. Reviews say the opposite about him. Almost all forums devoted to sports nutrition describe the negative result obtained while taking this drug. Those who tested it on themselves warn against taking any drugs of this brand. Atlant (protein) is characterized by poor taste and equally poor solubility. It causes digestive upsets, including diarrhea and flatulence. Moreover, even with prolonged use, the promised result does not appear.
By carefully studying the packaging, you can initially avoid the unpleasant consequences of taking the drug “Athletic Nutrition Atlant (protein)”. On the package the manufacturer is declared - the company Biodietrin (Belarus). However, the address on the packages purchased in different places does not match. Data on the real existence of such an officially registered manufacturer in the Republic of Belarus were not found. Moreover, the manufacturer does not have its own personal website. In fact, the consumer is initially deprived of the opportunity to contact with him.
And the last: the Atlant drug (protein), according to an independent examination, in the description has incorrect data on its composition, so the protein content in it is 14% instead of 80% of the declared.
Obviously, the remaining conclusions regarding the use of this drug can be made independently. Moreover, the example considered shows what points you need to pay attention to when choosing the optimal dietary supplements.
