Other supplements to consider

If you want to get started in the world of fitness, you need to know about other supplements: the pre-workout and the fat burner.

Scientific studies have shown that these supplements are effective when they contain certain ingredients that we will review in the next lesson.

Pre-Workout Supplement

The first of these, the pre-workout supplement, is functional, which has the disadvantage of not being affordable to all pockets because of its high cost.

From the marketing, this is justified by claiming that it is an innovative discovery, although in reality its effects are reduced to the use of caffeine in its preparation.

It is true that other ingredients such as atrazine are included, but caffeine is the fundamental factor for the success of this product. So much so that people who consume this supplement without this key ingredient feel almost no boost when training.

The vast majority of pre-workout supplements contain over 100 to 300 milligrams of caffeine. This does not pose a risk as long as the product is not abused.

Although caffeine itself is not a dangerous substance when used in the specified doses and its use in supplements produces positive effects in training, it does not justify its high price. In the market you can pay from 30 to 40 dollars per supplement. Therefore, we recommend looking for other options so as not to waste money unnecessarily.

One variant is to buy caffeine and tyrosine separately and ingest them 30 to 45 minutes before your workout.

You will be able to regulate the doses in relation to your type of training, mood and thus adjust both substances to the power you need to perform a successful routine.

If we compare its effects with the product sold in the market, you will notice that it is very similar, it is easy to consume and will allow you to save money.

Fat burners

Fat burners are one of the most used supplements nowadays, and there are many variants of this product. This is why we will help you answer some questions on the subject.

Usefulness of fat burners

First of all, we must clarify that fat burners do not literally burn fat from your body, although the name refers to it. It is pure marketing.

The manufacturers of the product explain that it works as an accelerator in the oxidation of fats, on certain enzymes related to fat storage and finally has a hormonal effect.

These products have a caloric deficit, so if your diet is low in calories you will feel a decrease in body weight.

On the other hand, as we explained above, fat burners influence your metabolism, speeding it up. It can also decrease hunger and therefore cravings that will ruin your diet.

What ingredients must the fat burner have to be effective?

Once again caffeine. This ingredient acts on your metabolism, speeding it up and giving you more boosts during exercise routines.

Another effective compound is a chemical found in citrus fruits. Scientific studies have shown that like caffeine, it increases metabolism, and both compounds work well if consumed together.

Green tea extract is also functional. Research has proven that it works as an accelerator of fat loss from training.

Finally, there are the Norrington and Spiridon molecules. Both are found in foods such as oranges, grapefruit, in the skin of tomatoes. Their functionality is aimed at improving the body's blood flow.

If you want to buy a supplement of this type, you should look at this list of ingredients to get your money's worth and achieve the desired effects.

Finally, we recommend that you first try to lose fat through a good workout and a balanced diet. Likewise, if you decide to use a fat burner, you must maintain your exercise and diet routine. Since these products will not work if they are not accompanied by these fundamental factors.
