Supplements To Increase Endurance

[oxjunkie]

Choose the right kind

Creatine is not out of the question, definitely not. Try TRAC from MHP, it is time released and doesn't seem to cause water retention to the degree that straight creatine will. Thus all the benefits and no extra weight.

Androgens increase red blood cell volume. They were the drug of choice for this purpose before the much more profitable EPO came along.

it increased my hemotocrit from 39 to 46 in 8 weeks

just take some calcium , it tends to use alot of it up


kinda like a natural Epogen

No Creatine

Creatine supplmenting is for Explosive type Energy, over a short period of time (Ex: WEight Lifting) Not for Long Distance Runners or Cyclists.

Without a doubt, Ribose helps my endurance better than any product on the market.

Rotty-
I did a search on PubMed and found no research to back this up. I'll keep looking though. I'm sure if there was a natural OTC supp that stimulated erythropoiesis I'd have heard of it. Especially one that would increase 'crit levels 7 points in 8 weeks. That's as good as EPO so I faind that hard to believe...

Ok-I did more research and found phytin or IP6 inositol can increase the oxygen carrying capacity of hemoglobin. Pub Med abstracts seemed to indicate this. None however indicated either substance would increase RBC production ie an increase in hematocrit levels. But like I stated above, research does seem to indicate that phytin or IP6 inositol could be a useful endurance supplement.

I am trying to find supplements that will enhance my aerobic and anaerobic endurance. So far I am looking into creatine, ribose, and possibly endurox. Any board members with results from these? Any other suggestions?

try supplementing with beta-alanine. i use anywhere from 2-6 grams per day

I wrestle and want anaerobic endurance mainly. I am also trying to go up two weight classes so weight gain is not a problem.

What do the 800/1000 meter runners take for supplements? That is the type of endurance that I am looking for.

So what exactly are your goals...some explosive power or moderate endurnace for grappling/wrestling? I am an MMA fighter and I use epi strong for mild increases in lean mass and training intensity. In addition I use Anabeta and HCGenerate.
