Whether you're vegan for dietary or moral reasons, it’s still important to provide your muscles with the nutrients they need to grow. Nutrition plays a pivotal role in muscle growth and should be a focal point of anybody looking to gain lean muscle. From vegan protein to greens powder, there’s a vegan supplement for everyone.
Why Supplement?
Supplementation can take your nutrition to the next level, enhancing recovery and supporting all-round wellbeing. Prior to supplementing it’s vital to ensure the majority of your diet comes from whole foods, as supplements are to do exactly that: supplement a well-rounded diet. The most common use of supplementation is for post-workout recovery and muscle building and plant-based protein is just the supplement for this.
When a nutrient-dense vegan meal is not always accessible, post-workout shakes are taken for their high protein content and excellent amino acid profile. These qualities are also offered by vegan alternatives such as pea, pumpkin and brown rice protein. Taking a vegan based protein powder within 15-30 minutes post workout kick-starts the recovery process and can help alleviate delayed onset muscle syndrome (DOMS). Vegan proteins are also a convenient way to boost your daily protein take, whether you have them on their own or in a smoothie.
Supplementation isn’t just limited to protein. One of the key factors in muscle growth and recovery is getting enough quality sleep. Low quality sleep and not getting enough sleep can stunt muscle growth and severely damage your performance potential. Vegan-friendly products such as True ZMA are perfect to support quality sleep and to help your muscles relax. By ensuring you have a high quality, deep sleep, you’ll improve your long-term results significantly.
