PILLS & THRILLS

Just as important as the hours in the gym and the strict diet are the pills and potions Rose takes. On top of normal multi-vits, antioxidants and fi sh oil tablets, are these muscle-orientated supplements:

Chromium: To help regulate blood sugar level and the uptake of glucose, and to assist in shedding fat and building muscle.

BCAA (branched chain amino acids): The building blocks of protein and, therefore, muscles.

HMB (B-hydroxy B-methylbutyrate monohydrate): A metabolite of the amino acid leucine, used to lessen the breakdown of muscle cells.

ZMA (zinc monomethionine aspartate and magnesium aspartate): A BALCO labs patented supplement, basically a mixture of vitamin B6, zinc and magnesium, said to aid cell growth and tissue repair.

MAX’S Hydroxy Phase: Protein dietary supplement that also inhibits the conversion of carbs into fat.

MAX’S Nitro C3: Taken before a workout for increased energy. A hi-GI mix of energy nutrients.

MAX’S Glutamine: Taken after a workout and before bed. An important amino acid crucial for muscle growth and recovery.

MAX’S Creatine: Taken before a workout to allow muscles to use stored energy more effi ciently, allowing them to work harder before becoming fatigued.

MAX’s Fat Burning Tablets: Taken in the morning with the hydroxyl phase to help stimulate the metabolism and curb hunger.
