Most professional body builders will tell you that the most potent of natural body building supplements is protein. Protein is the building block of all muscle repair and tissue. Protein gives your energy level a boost with lingering stamina so you can excel at doing longer and more intense workouts.

One of the preferred forms of protein for body building supplementation is whey protein. It ranks high because it contains all of the essential amino acids needed for natural bodybuilding. To be most effective it needs to be taken routinely every day.

Another great natural body building supplement is known as creatine. It boosts your energy levels and helps combat fatigue so you are able to exercise longer and with less soreness afterwards. Creatine is actually a substance that is naturally produced in your body and taking this supplement helps boosts levels of tolerance to pain. It also helps increase muscle mass.

Yet another supplement that helps build muscle mass is Glutamine. This is a natural supplement that helps fuel your body with the enzymes it needs to allow you to work out as long as possible. It also helps speed nutrients in the body to the muscles, which results in large, more finely toned muscles.

As these three supplements, creatine, protein and glutamine are the three most often recommended supplements that are often sold in combination in drinks and formulas. They are available at gyms and at health food stores. You can also order them online.

Yet another natural supplement is testosterone. Although the body, which qualifies it as being "natural", produces it, it is not that safe. One of the problems with taking supplemental testosterone is that the muscle mass created may not stay stable. It is best to stay away from both natural and synthetic forms of this supplement as the side effects are unpredictable. You should also stay away from anabolic steroids, which are also hormones, but not as easy to obtain as testosterone as their use is banned or illegal in a lot of places in the world.

Another trendy bodybuilding supplement is nitric oxide. During an intense body building workout your body produces nitric oxide to help fight tissue stress. Nitric oxide does this by dilating your vessels so they carry more blood and nutrients to where they are needed. However this supplement can also give you a pumped up feeling that can make you more aggressive and speedy. Even though nitric oxide is also natural and produced by the body, it is not that reliable of a supplement in terms of its effects on your mood.

To play it safe it is probably the safest to stick to protein, creatine and glutamine supplementation as these three natural supplements do have proven history of bulking up the body while at the same time sparing you from any risks to your health. Many of the supplements that are quick fixes have some very negative long-term side effects.
