Say you want to add a few pounds of muscle, or a lot of muscle. What if you wanted to lose a few pounds of body fat? No matter what your body shaping goals are, having a solid supplement foundation will help you achieve the look you want.

Anyone trying to change their body's composition - for any reason - should start their program with 4 fundamental supplements that will help them achieve their goals. You can build a house without a hammer. It probably is not easy but it can be done. The same applies to proper supplementation.

The first and most important supplement anyone who has any goals for their body, fitness, weight, general health, energy levels, and so on, is protein. You can't build that house without lumber for the frame. Taking in the correct amount of protein will let your body repair and build new muscle in response to your exercising efforts.

“What's the best kind of protein?” you say.

The kind you eat. Eat your protein as much as possible. However a protein shake after exercising is a very good idea. Protein shakes are more rapidly processed by the body. When you are done exercising your body will be primed for protein. Faster is better at this time.

Building a house is not easy. The more effort you put into this project the better your results will be.
