Don\u2019t bother taking single amino acids for muscle growth! Double-blinded studies have shown this isn&#8217;t an effective way to build muscle or increase muscle growth. Amino acids can also turn into sugar, which can increase your blood sugar.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid tribulus and fenugreek if you are building muscle. These compounds can increase testosterone, but not enough to build muscle.<\/p>\n<p>As we age, testosterone decreases and cortisol increases. This combination can hinder muscle building. Overtraining can also significantly increase cortisol and shut down testosterone. Cholesterol is vital for essential hormones like testosterone, so avoid low-cholesterol and low-fat diets if you want to build muscle. <\/p>\n<p>Insulin resistance can hinder muscle growth. Insulin resistance is often caused by frequent eating and high-carbohydrate diets. <\/p>\n<p>Sleep is vital for muscle building because most muscle growth occurs while sleeping! Magnesium glycinate can help you sleep and also helps make energy to feed your muscles.<\/p>\n<p>Try these top 3 muscle-building supplements to boost muscle growth and increase muscle size.<\/p>\n<p>1. Creatine monohydrate<br \/>\nCreatine is found naturally in red meat. It increases ATP, performance, energy during workouts, and hydration, and directly increases muscle stimulus. <\/p>\n<p>2. Whey protein<br \/>\nWhey protein powder provides leucine, which stimulates muscle growth. It also contains the other amino acids vital for muscle building. <\/p>\n<p>3. Zinc<br \/>\nZinc helps increase testosterone, and even a mild zinc deficiency can decrease testosterone production. Testosterone is vital for building muscle size and strength.  <\/p>\n<p>If you want to build muscle, consume grass-fed red meat. It contains creatine, amino acids, zinc, vitamin B12, and carnosine. It also contains healthy fat and cholesterol to help boost testosterone. Eggs and fish also support muscle-building. <\/p>\n<p>\ud83d\udc49 Get Dr.Berg\u2019s Daily Routine as a free download: https:\/\/drbrg.co\/4jPzXcr<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Eric Berg DC Bio:<br \/>\nDr. Berg, age 60, is a chiropractor who specializes in Healthy Ketosis &amp; Intermittent Fasting.
