Today, we’re going to talk about the best supplements to build muscle fast! Don’t bother taking single amino acids for muscle growth! Double-blinded studies have shown this isn’t an effective way to build muscle or increase muscle growth. Amino acids can also turn into sugar, which can increase your blood sugar.
Avoid tribulus and fenugreek if you are building muscle. These compounds can increase testosterone, but not enough to build muscle.
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.
Insulin resistance can hinder muscle growth. Insulin resistance is often caused by frequent eating and high-carbohydrate diets.
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.
Try these top 3 muscle-building supplements to boost muscle growth and increase muscle size.
1. Creatine monohydrate
Creatine is found naturally in red meat. It increases ATP, performance, energy during workouts, and hydration, and directly increases muscle stimulus.
2. Whey protein
Whey protein powder provides leucine, which stimulates muscle growth. It also contains the other amino acids vital for muscle building.
3. Zinc
Zinc helps increase testosterone, and even a mild zinc deficiency can decrease testosterone production. Testosterone is vital for building muscle size and strength.
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.

Thanks for watching! I hope this explains how to build muscle fast! I’ll see you in the next video.
Which form of whey protein plz suggest
But I thought you didn’t want us to take protein powder bc it is synthetic and does not have the fat to buffer the insulin response. 😟
As always excellent advice Dr Berg
Im hoping someone will see this and can help. So, I got into trucking this past January. Between my commute and driving at work, I’m on the road up to 14/15 hours a day. I also work overnight and already don’t sleep well the 6 or 7 hours i get. I started following dr berg and I’ve actually went from 280 to 230 in the last 3 months being COMPLETELY sedentary. Now, i want to get back into building muscle again. So, with all that said, how does the fast work around this type of training? I know the cortisol is going to be another struggle, too, as my life is full of stress. But heavy lifting already left me feeling good, and i want it back. Thank you if anyone can help or link where he has covered this as i couldn’t find how to work a fast around this.
Hi Dr. Berg, my mom, is 60, and she says often that you saved her life. She went to the doctor and they called her a unicorn. Every test was perfect 👌🏽
