What types of sports supplements are there?

Sports supplements are grouped into three core functions: foundational nutrition, performance enhancement, and recovery support.

1. Foundational Nutrition

▪ Protein powders – whey, casein, or plant-based – speed muscle repair and growth.

▪ Carbohydrate powders – maltodextrin, dextrose – quickly restore exercise energy.

▪ Vitamin & mineral blends – multivitamins, electrolytes – plug dietary gaps and keep metabolism running.

2. Performance Boosters

▪ Caffeine sharpens focus, extends endurance, and delays fatigue.

▪ Creatine boosts strength and power output for heavy, explosive training.

▪ Beta-alanine raises muscular endurance and blunts the burn from lactic-acid buildup.

▪ ATP supplements deliver the cell’s instant-energy currency, perfect for short sprints, Olympic lifts, or any high-intensity interval work.

3. Recovery Aids

▪ Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) curb muscle breakdown, speed recovery, and ease next-day soreness.

▪ Glutamine supports immune function and gut health, helping the whole body bounce back.

▪ Fish oil, rich in omega-3 fats, dials down inflammation and protects joints.
