### [Proteins](https://gymbeam.com/proteins)
Why is protein important, and what can it do? Accelerate metabolism – protein has the highest thermic effect of all macronutrients. This means that our body spends the highest amount of energy on burning it. This then leads to the so-called acceleration of metabolism. Facilitate weight loss – protein helps maintain muscle mass. Muscles consume more energy in comparison to adipose tissue, thereby enabling you to lose weight more effectively. Improve muscle growth – since protein is the basic building block of muscles, its intake will help you with building additional muscle mass. Speed up regeneration – the body is able to repair damaged muscle fibres more effectively thanks to protein. Reduce hunger and cravings – the satiating ability of protein will ensure that you won’t get hungry for a longer time after eating protein rich food and in the meanwhile, your sweet tooth may also pass. Promote bone health – one of the abilities of protein is the ability to maintain healthy bones. All the above makes this macronutrient truly key, and not only for the people that live an active lifestyle. What are protein powders made from? Protein powders are usually made from common foods that are rich in protein. It is most often milk, from which the popular whey protein is made. Therefore, you do not have to worry about any steroids or forbidden substances. The specific foods used to produce protein powders vary depending on what type it is and for whom it is intended. However, in general, the most common types of protein powders that you can run into are animal and plant based. Animal protein powders This category is mostly dominated by popular protein powders made from milk. You can usually find these proteins under the name “whey”. You can also run into protein powders made from beef or eggs (egg albumin). 1. Whey protein powders These protein powders are made from milk. In order to produce 1 kg of protein powder, one needs more than 100 l of milk. The milk then goes through a process of pasteurization, after which, the whey is separated from casein thanks to the addition of enzymes. Whey is then gently processed further until the final whey protein powder is obtained. This protein powder is popular due to its favourable spectrum of amino acids. In practice, this means that it contains all the key amino acids in a very effective ratio. That said, when looking for this type of protein powder, you can usually run into a label that says 100% WHEY. This is usually the case with protein powders that contain exclusively whey protein. Such protein powders therefore do not contain any other source of protein. What types of whey protein are there? Whey Protein Concentrate (WPC)⁣ – the most popular type of protein powder due to its price / performance ratio. On average, it contains 70-80% of protein, which has a fairly quick absorption rate. Whey Protein Isolate (WPI)⁣ – a protein powder that is obtained through a process of filtration from whey concentrate. It is therefore slightly purer and also boasts a higher protein content. In particular, the protein content is usually 80% and more. On the contrary, it contains a lower amount of sugar and fat. This makes it ideal for demanding athletes who want a fast absorbable protein powder with the highest possible protein content, or people suffering from lactose intolerance. Whey Protein Hydrolysate (WPH) – is produced using the process of hydrolysis from whey concentrate or isolate. During it, protein is degraded into shorter peptides, which the body can absorb even quicker. The end result is a perfectly usable protein powder. You can also find the label DH (degree of hydrolysis) on these protein powders, which is related to the degradation process. The higher the number, the more the protein is degraded. A degree of hydrolysis 32 (DH 32) is the most common one. Moreover, these protein powders can have a slightly bitter taste, which may not suit everyone. 2. Micellar casein Micellar casein is obtained through a filtration process from cow's milk. It usually contains between 70 and 80 % of protein, which is absorbed gradually. Due to the fact that it is absorbed more slowly, it ranks among night proteins. It is therefore ideal for athletes who want to maintain the increased production of muscle protein even during the night. 3. Beef protein powder Beef protein powder can also be used by people with lactose intolerance. However, it is specific in that it contains mainly connective tissue proteins. Thus, it is less suitable for stimulating muscle growth, but it is quite popular among people who want to promote the health of their joints, hair, nails, and skin. 4. Egg protein powder (egg albumin) Egg protein powder is made from eggs, and usually contains 60-80% of high-quality protein. On top of that, it has a favourable spectrum of amino acids and is relatively slowly absorbed, which can be an advantage in certain situations. This protein powder is also suitable for people who have a problem with lactose intolerance. 5. Multicomponent protein powder Multicomponent protein powder is composed of multiple protein sources, which results in a protein powder with overall better properties. Typically, it includes a combination of fast and slow release protein. This is ideal if you want to its ensure the gradual release over a period of time. Plant-based protein powders Plant-based protein powders are most often produced from plant sources that are rich in protein, for example, soybeans and other legumes or hemp seeds. This makes them a great alternative for vegetarians and vegans alike. And as these sources are naturally gluten and lactose free, they are also suitable for people who suffer from the indigestion of these substances. However, it is always important to read through the ingredients list and make sure that the protein will suit your needs. 1. Soy protein powder Soy protein powder most closely resembles the quality of the whey protein powder due to its spectrum of amino acids. It is made from flakes that are obtained from soybeans. The resulting blend then contains approximately 65-70% of protein. The process starts with the making of soy concentrate, from which soy isolate is then obtained using further processing. In the end, this can have more than 85% of protein content. 2. Rice protein powder Rice protein powder is made from ground rice grains that are mixed with enzymes, which work to separate the protein. In comparison with a whey protein powder, this type has a noticeably lower amount of protein, usually between 50 to 78%. Furthermore, its spectrum of amino acids is not great either. However, this can be easily remedied, for example by combining it with a pea protein powder. 3. Hemp protein powder Hemp protein powder is obtained from pressed and ground hemp seeds. The resulting protein powder has approximately 50% of protein content. As with its predecessor, it also does not have the most favourable spectrum of amino acids. Once again, this can be easily fixed by combining it with pea protein powder or other. 4. Pea protein powder Pea protein powder is a fairly good alternative to whey, because it contains a higher amount of leucine. This amino acid boasts the highest anabolic potential. In order to achieve an even more favourable amino acid spectrum, it is best to combine it, for example, with a rice protein powder. Pea protein powder stands out due to its high fibre content, which can be ideal in case you want a protein powder that will satiate you to a greater extent. 5. Multicomponent protein powder Multicomponent protein powders are the best possible option from what nature has to offer. This is because they combine multiple sources of protein, thereby reducing their deficiency in the form of limiting (underrepresented) amino acids. This way you can get a functional plant-based protein powder with an ideal composition and a more favourable spectrum of amino acids. Do you want to learn more about plant sources of protein? Then you should definitely read our article: What are the Best Sources of Plant Proteins and Why Include Them in Your Diet? What is the optimal serving of protein? The optimal serving of protein will vary depending on many factors, such as your physique and body composition, total energy expenditure, physical activity and the like. In general, we can consider a universal serving of 20-40 g of protein to be optimal. This is usually one measuring cup of protein powder, which typically contains about 30 g. In case of plant-based protein powders, feel free to add a few extra grams more. This is because they generally have a lower content of protein and are harder to digest. When and how to use protein powders? as part of a variety of recipes in order to enrich them with protein when preparing sweet protein-rich desserts as a drink after exercise to promote the regeneration and nourishment of damaged muscle fibres as a snack in case you are caught off guard by hunger and have no time to prepare food when you need an easy way to increase protein intake Who are protein powders suitable for? People who want to increase their protein intake. Athletes who want to promote muscle growth. Cooks who want to enrich their dishes with protein and create delicious fitness recipes.

- [Whey Protein](https://gymbeam.com/whey-protein): How is whey protein powder made? The milk for the production of whey protein powder first goes through a process of pasteurization (short term heating up), which prevents the growth of bacteria. After this process, the milk contains of about 20% of whey and 80% of casein proteins. The enzyme chymosin is then added to the liquid, which causes the milk to curdle. This is how whey gets separated from casein. The resulting liquid part (whey) contains whey proteins, fat, as well as carbohydrates. Afterwards, filtration and other gentle technological processes are used to obtain whey protein from it. What types of whey protein powders are there? Individual types of protein powders differ in their manufacturing process, properties, and also in their ingredient profile. Therefore, they may be more suitable for certain groups of people. 1. Whey protein concentrate (WPC) Whey concentrate is one of the most popular protein powders ever, and not just among athletes. This is primarily due to the fact that it contains a considerable amount of protein (70-80%), and it's also very affordable. Nowadays, it is produced using gentle filtration methods, which result in a high-quality and well-absorbed protein powder. The exemplary representative of these types of proteins is True Whey, with its content of up to 78% of protein. 2. Whey protein isolate (WPI) Whey isolate is obtained by further processing the whey concentrate. In particular, it is a process called microfiltration, which takes a bit more time. The final result of this process is a product that boasts an even purer ingredient profile than that of the whey concentrate itself. It also has a higher content of protein (more than 80%). In comparison with the concentrate, it also contains less fat and sugar. This is especially valued by demanding athletes or people who want to lose weight before taking part in a race and keep a close eye on every nutrient in their diet. During the process of making whey isolate, the protein powder is deprived of almost all milk sugar (as a rule, about 2 g of lactose per 100 g of product remain). This type of protein powder is very popular among people who suffer from lactose intolerance. The exemplary representatives of protein powders from this category are Pure IsoWhey or IsoFue. And, if you are a fan of fresh fruit flavours, you will surely like Clear Whey IsoFue. 3. Whey protein hydrolyzate (WPH) Whey hydrolysate is produced through a process called hydrolysis from whey concentrate or isolate. During this process, a water molecule is used to cleave protein bonds into shorter peptides. This results in an even better absorbable protein powder, which typically contains between 70-85% of protein. When shopping these protein powders, you can often see the label DH (Degree of Hydrolysis) on the packaging, which reveals just how much the protein bonds have been cleaved. The higher the value, the more digestible the resulting protein powder is, and the faster it reaches the muscle cells. This makes it the most popular type of protein powder among athletes whose goal is to regenerate their muscles as quickly as possible after a training. The protein powder with the highest degree of cleaved bonds is DH32. However, it typically has a slightly bitter taste, which may not suit everyone. The exemplary representatives of protein powders from this category are HydroFue and Hydro Whey DH 32. 4. Multicomponent whey protein powders In this category, you can find proteins powders, which contain proteins from multiple sources. It is most often a combination of multiple types of whey protein powders, which include whey concentrate, isolate and hydrolyzate. Combining multiple types of protein powder into a multicomponent protein powder can result in better properties of the final protein powder. Typically, it is a combination of fast and slow release proteins. This allows for the creation of a protein powder with more complex properties, which all the demanding athletes will surely enjoy. The exemplary representative of protein powders from this category is Just Whey. Who are whey protein powders suitable for? Strength or endurance athletes who want to promote muscle regeneration.

- [Soy Protein](https://gymbeam.com/soy-protein): Soy protein is usually manufactured from white flakes that are obtained by peeling and defatting soybeans. The flakes are ground into a powdery flour that contains about 50 – 54 % of protein. Using a variety of technological processes, the flour is then filtered, cutting out aromatic compounds and sugars. This way, a concentrate with about 65 - 75 % of protein content is produced. In some cases, this concentrate may be further processed by centrifugation, drying and removing the fibre. The resulting product of these processes is a soy isolate, which can theoretically reach up to 90 % of protein content, but in reality, the actual concentration sits usually at about 85 %. The prototypical product in this category is Protein Soy Isolate. Who can benefit the most from soy protein powder? Anyone looking for a single compound plant-based protein product with a favourable amino acid spectrum that most closely resembles that of whey protein. Athletes and people looking to grow their muscle mass. Anyone looking to increase their protein intake to facilitate weight loss Vegetarians, vegans, and people with lactose intolerance. Anyone looking to expand their diet variety with a plant based protein source. Cooks looking to increase protein content in the dishes they prepare using plant based alternatives. Anyone seeking to increase the portion of protein in their regular diet Anyone looking to purchase a more affordable plant based protein supplement What is the recommended serving amount of soy protein powder? It is usually recommended to serve about 0.25 - 0.3 g per kg of body weight. If you can’t be bothered with calculating, you won’t go wrong with a serving of about 20 - 40 g of the product. This corresponds to a roughly topped 30 g measuring scoop. The upper limit of 40 g is intended for strength athletes after a full body training, when the body requires extra protein. However, when it comes to plant based protein sources, it is recommended to serve about 25% more than is the case with protein supplements based in animal produce. This is due to the fact that plant based proteins usually contain less leucine and EAA. You may also want to boost the digestibility of plant based proteins by further supplementing probiotics. How to take soy protein powder? The typical way of using protein supplements is to mix the product with water or milk, creating a delicious shake that can be consumed anytime throughout your day. However, they also taste great in a variety of porridge bowls and oatmeals that will benefit from the added protein. The supplement can be added to a baking dough to create protein-packed desserts.

- [Collagen](https://gymbeam.com/collagen): Collagen is an integral part of connective tissues in bones, liver, kidneys, heart, teeth, and skin. There are several types of collagen, each of which is dominant in a different tissue. Type I., II., III, and IV. collagen is the most represented in the body. Type I collagen occurs in the skin, tendons, bones, ligaments, dentin, and interstitial tissues. Type II collagen is then found in the cartilage and gelatinous mass in the eye. Type III collagen is mainly present in the skin, muscles, and blood vessels. The last of the mentioned - type IV. collagen occurs in all basement membranes. It is important for our body mainly because it slows down the ageing of the skin, supports the proper functioning of joints, muscle growth, protects bone health, and is also important for the cardiovascular system. Collagen usually comes from animals such as seafood and cattle. Marine collagen contains mainly type I collagen, so it is especially popular among women striving to improve the quality of hair or skin. However, it is also functional for ligaments, tendons, and bones. It is practical mainly because it contains smaller particles that are better digested and absorbed. From this point of view hydrolysed beef collagen is also a great choice. It went through a process in which collagen fibres were broken down into small chains of amino acids that are easily absorbed. Hydrolysed collagen excels in a complete amino acid profile. Collagen products are often enriched with vitamin C, which is essential for collagen production in the body. You can supplement collagen to your body in many forms, such as collagen shot, powder, capsules or RTD drinks.

- [Creatine](https://gymbeam.com/creatine): Effects of creatine The role of creatine is to promote the regeneration of ATP, which is known as a quick source of energy. Therefore, it has the ability to increase physical performance during short-term consecutive intervals of intensive training. Thanks to this, it can promote explosive strength and be of help, for example, in speed or strength sports. Who benefits from taking creatine? Thanks to its aforementioned effects, creatine is especially useful for: strength athletes (bodybuilders, powerlifters, fitness) speed athletes (sprinters, swimmers, 200 m runners, track cyclists, downhill skiers) fans of intensive training like HIIT or CrossFit team sport players that require explosive strength like hockey, football, rugby, American football or basketball players martial artists racquet sport athletes (tennis players, squash players or badminton players) The benefits of creatine make it suitable for beginners as well as professional athletes. It can also be⁣ taken by women, who will benefit from its effects to support their efforts to achieve maximum performance. Forms of creatine Creatine can be found in a variety of forms that vary in solubility, absorbability, and composition. For example, due to better water solubility and absorption rate, creatine is micronized into a very fine powder. In our offer, you can also find a special certified form of creatine monohydrate called Creapure®. It is a 100% pure, laboratory-tested creatine, which is produced in Germany under strict conditions and control tests. The most popular forms of creatine include: Creatine monohydrate⁣ – creatine bound to a single water molecule. It contains about 90% pure creatine. It ranks among the most popular and effective forms. Creatine ethyl ester (CEE) – an esterified form of creatine monohydrate, which was developed to improve its absorption rate. Creatine hydrochloride (HCl)⁣ – is bound to hydrochloric acid on the molecular level. Creatine malate – forms a bond with the salt of malic acid, due to which it has a slightly sour taste. Kre-Alkaline – a buffered form of creatine monohydrate with a higher pH, developed to improve its absorption rate. Creatine citrate – forms a bond with citric acid or citrate, that is, the salt of citric acid. Creatine nitrate – forms a bond with part of the nitrate molecule and is well soluble in water. Creatine magnesium chelate⁣ – is bound with a molecule of magnesium. Some studies show that it is more effective than creatine monohydrate. Creatine gluconate⁣ – formed by bonding with a glucose molecule. This one is presumed to be better absorbable when taken with meals. Creatine pyruvate – bound with pyruvic acid, due to which it is linked with better usability. Creatine alpha-ketoglutarate – is a creatine molecule bound to a part of alpha-ketoglutaric acid. Multicomponent creatine – combines the benefits of multiple forms of creatine into one blend. For example, it can contain up to 7 forms of creatine in one product, such as Crea7in. Creatine is therefore a proven and effective way to increase your athletic performance. However, only under the condition of long-term use, that is, every day in amounts of 3-5 grams.

NO supplements that can promote blood circulation throughout the body and effectively pump up the muscles before exercise. HMB, which can inhibit the breakdown of muscle proteins and also help with muscle growth. Testosterone support supplements in the form of plant extracts or otherwise, which are sought after in order to improve performance, strength and stimulate muscle growth. Caffeine used to maintain alertness and concentration at work, while studying or doing other daily or sporting activities. Beta-Alanine, which ranks among non-essential amino acids and serves as a precursor for the synthesis of carnosine. DAA, that ranks among non-essential amino acids and regulates the synthesis of testosterone. Pre-workout supplements are popular among people who want to boost their performance, strength or get energized before a strenuous physical activity. Typically, they come in the form of powders, shots, or capsules. Furthermore, they can contain only a single component, which is especially useful in case you want to compose your pre-workout yourself, an example being caffeine or taurine. But there are also multicomponent pre-workout supplements whose main advantage is that they combine several functional ingredients with a synergistic course of action. An example is the THOR pre-workout with the content of a number of active ingredients to boost performance and endurance. NO supplements include other types of pre-workout supplements that can effectively help you get energized before physical performance. This is because they affect the production of nitric oxide (NO) that influences the blood circulation throughout the body. Thanks to vasodilation, also known as widening of blood vessels, more oxygen and nutrients are able to get to the muscles. This can ultimately result in better performance. Supplements with this effect include, for example, Arginine A.K.G or Citrulline Malate. Next, we have HMB supplements, which are products containing a substance known as β-hydroxy β-methylbutyrate. This is an active metabolite of the amino acid leucine, which, along with valine and isoleucine, rank among BCAAs. HMB is very popular among athletes as it helps them shorten their regeneration time. What's more, it also boasts an anti-catabolic effect. Testosterone support supplements are used in the world of fitness to improve performance, increase strength and promote muscle growth. In addition to this, they can help with maintaining optimal blood testosterone levels, as this hormone plays a fundamental role in many vital biological processes. It affects, for example, the size and strength of muscles, bones as well as the overall reproductive health of men. Caffeine is also present in this category and is considered the most popular stimulant worldwide. It is a very popular choice for maintaining alertness and concentration while working, studying and other daily or sporting activities. Dietary supplements with caffeine content are also sought after by athletes who take them before their training. Usually, they come in the form of tablets or capsules, but you can also find them as part of complex pre-workout blends. Beta-Alanine covers products that contain the non-essential amino acid of the same name. It is a precursor for the synthesis of carnosine, which helps reduce acidosis. This effect can result in delaying fatigue, having an easier time during a strenuous training or prolonging sports performance. Last but not least, we have DAA that ranks among non-essential amino acids and is associated with potential beneficial effects on male reproductive health and blood testosterone levels, which are crucial for overall men's health. This is because it affects the size and strength of muscles, bone density and overall reproductive health. Choose from our wide offer of pre-workout and testosterone support supplements and feel their effects on your own skin.
- [Testosterone Support](https://gymbeam.com/testosterone-support): In addition to this, these supplements can help with maintaining optimal blood testosterone levels, as this hormone plays a fundamental role in many vital biological processes. It affects, for example, the size and strength of muscles, bone density as well as the overall reproductive health of men.

- [Weight Gainers & Carbohydrates](https://gymbeam.com/weight-gainers-and-carbohydrates): This category offers: Gainers, which are the primary source of slow or fast release carbohydrates. Slow release carbohydrates, which serve as a source of energy with gradual release. Fast release carbohydrates, which are a quick source of energy. Energy gels that a very convenient way to provide your body with energy, especially during sports. All-in-one blends, which represent a viable source of nutrients, such as carbohydrates, proteins, and other additional ingredients like vitamins, fibre, amino acids, minerals and more. Gainers are the primary source of either slow or fast release carbohydrates, depending on their particular type. Slow release carbohydrates are a source of energy with gradual release and can help replenish energy before sports or during prolonged physical activity. They can therefore serve as effective means to increase your energy intake at any time of the day. What's more, in combination with the additional nutrients contained in an all-in-one blend, they can serve as an occasional substitute for a full-fledged meal. Fast release carbohydrates, on the other hand, represent a very readily available source of energy. Their use is especially useful for the rapid replenishment of lost energy after a training. Using them before, during, or after training will ensure the replenishment of energy stores in the form of muscle glycogen. This will come especially handy if you are expecting additional physical load in a short amount of time, for example, in case of multiphase trainings throughout the day. Last but not least, energy gels serve as an efficient and convenient way to replenish energy, especially during sports or physical activity. Cyclists, runners, and other endurance athletes are therefore guaranteed to appreciate them. Choose from our wide offer and feel the magic of weight gainers and carbohydrates on your own skin.
- [Amino Acids](https://gymbeam.com/amino-acids): Who are amino acids intended for? Each amino acid has its specific role in the body, from which its use as a supplement is derived. Some of them, such as the BCAA, serve mainly for regeneration and even as a source of energy during exercise. Others are ideal for building muscle mass. This includes the category of EAA, among which also belong the BCAA. These are intended mainly for individuals seeking to maximize the growth and protection of their muscle mass. Other amino acids such as arginine or citrulline, are associated with blood circulation in your muscles, which may contribute to your overall athletic performance. Nutrition supplements rich in amino acids also have their utility outside the scope of sports and exercise. Theanine, for example, synergizes with caffeine and causes it to take its effect in a more gradual way. Carnosine, which naturally occurs in muscles and the brain, is valued for its antioxidative properties. Tyrosine contributes to the synthesis of hormones in your thyroid gland, as well as to the synthesis of adrenaline or dopamine. Amino acids are thus suitable for athletes and other people who want to support specific aspects of their health. How are amino acids categorized? Amino acids are most often divided into essential and non-essential. Essential amino acids cannot be produced naturally by your body, meaning they have to be supplied from food and nutrition supplements. Non-essential amino acids can typically be produced by a healthy human body. However, under certain conditions, some of them might become essential and need to be supplied from external sources. This happens mostly during the period of growth, when experiencing intense stress or straining your body with demanding sports activities. Complex supplements normally include amino acids from both categories, so as to bring about the broadest spectrum of beneficial effects possible. There are overall 8 essential amino acids, often abbreviated as ‘EAA’, and the products branded thus are designed to help maintain sufficient levels of these crucial substances in your body. The subcategory of BCAA involves products that offer amino acids with branched chains. More specifically, this category includes valine, leucine and isoleucine. The advantage of these is that they generally tend to decompose much quicker upon consumption, which means they can serve as a source of energy for the muscles that are being currently used. This advantage makes them a popular solution for protecting the muscle mass during the training, the idea being that the body doesn’t end up breaking down your muscle tissue for energy supply (catabolic process). In effect, this further boosts the effectiveness of muscle regeneration process (anabolic process), when used as an ingredient in a post-workout protein drink. Arginine and glutamine are also important amino acids, and not only for athletes. They are often categorized as conditionally essential, as strenuous physical activity can make their levels drop radically, meaning they need to be resupplied. Arginine is a key component for the production of nitric oxide (NO) in the body. It is directly involved in vessel dilation and proper blood circulation, which reflects on more effective supply of oxygen and other nutrients into your muscles as they work. Glutamine is in turn a source of energy for the cells of the digestive and immune systems. Other amino acids can help you optimize your intake of cysteine, tyrosine or glycine. Active individuals will particularly appreciate citrulline malate, which restructures into arginine once inside your body, contributing to more effective blood circulation, that can in turn boost your athletic performance. All of these can be used in the form of capsules, tablets, or a soluble powder drink, which is ideal as a pre- or post-workout shake. To learn more about the effects of amino acids, read our article Amino Acids: Classification, Functions in the Body, Effect on Athletic Performance and the Best Sources.
- [Vitamins](https://gymbeam.com/vitamins): What types of vitamins are there? Vitamins are divided according to their solubility into two categories: Fat-soluble vitamins – are bound to dietary fat, which they require in order to be properly absorbed. The body then stores them in reserve for future use. Water-soluble vitamins – are more readily absorbed than fat-soluble vitamins. Once ingested, they do their job in the body and any excess amount is excreted. However, in most cases, the body is not able to store them in reserve. Thus, their deficiency will manifest earlier than in the case of fat-soluble vitamins. Fat-soluble vitamins: function and recommended daily intake Each vitamin performs a different function in the body, which we will take a look at in more detail. At the same time, we will also get acquainted with the recommended daily intake according to EFSA and DACH. Vitamin A (retinol) is an important antioxidant that helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It plays an essential role in the body, as it participates in the process of cell specialization and iron metabolism. However, it also has an effect on maintaining the health of mucous membranes and skin, as well as good eyesight. In addition, it is also essential for the immune system. The recommended daily intake is between 650-850 µg. Vitamin D (calciferol) is often talked about in connection to the sun. For this reason, its deficiency can be a problem during winter months, when your skin is less exposed to the sun's rays, and you spend more time indoors. Its effects include supporting proper immune functions, promoting the process of cell division and maintaining the health of teeth, bones, and muscles. In addition, it contributes to the proper absorption of phosphorus, which may also be related to the effect on bone functions. The recommended daily intake is around 15-20 µg. Vitamin E (tocopherols and tocotrienols) includes 8 different compounds, which are characteristic by their strong antioxidant activity. Their main function is to protect cells from oxidative stress and the resulting damage. The recommended daily intake is between 11-15 mg. Vitamin K (phylloquinone, menaquinone) is intriguing in that it is also produced by bacteria in the digestive tract (large intestine), which help the body with its sufficient intake. The main function of vitamin K is to promote optimal blood clotting and maintain the health of bones. The recommended daily intake is around 60-80 µg. Water-soluble vitamins: function and recommended daily intake The second group of vitamins consists of those that are water-soluble, which also have an important role in the human body. In addition to their function, we will once again list their recommended daily intake according to EFSA and DACH. Vitamin B1 (thiamine) is needed for the production of the base form of energy in the form of ATP, which powers every physical activity. In addition, it also has an effect on proper functioning of the nervous system and mental well-being. That said, we must not forget that it also contributes to proper heart function. The recommended daily intake is 0.84-1.3 mg. Vitamin B2 (riboflavin) participates in enzymatic functions of the antioxidant system. Moreover, it contributes to the proper function of metabolism, which is significant for energy production. It also affects our mental well-being, proper iron metabolism and protects the cells from oxidative stress. In addition, it helps with maintaining healthy mucous membranes, red blood cells, skin, good eyesight, and also helps reduce fatigue and exhaustion. The recommended daily intake is 1-1.6 mg. Vitamin B3 (niacin) is important for every cell in the body. This is because it has an effect on the proper function of metabolism, which is indispensable for energy production. Apart from that, it also beneficially affects the nervous system, mental well-being and helps reduce both fatigue and exhaustion. However, it also contributes to the maintenance of healthy skin and the preservation of healthy mucous membranes. The recommended daily intake is 11-16 mg. Vitamin B5 (pantothenic acid) is involved mainly in the synthesis and metabolism of steroid hormones, vitamin D and some neurotransmitters. In addition, it helps reduce fatigue, exhaustion and promotes optimal mental performance. It also contributes to the proper function of metabolism, which is important for energy production. The recommended daily intake is 5 mg. Vitamin B6 (pyridoxine) participates in the utilization of glycogen in the body, which is necessary for energy supply during physical performance. What's more, it also contributes, for example, to the regulation of hormonal activity, proper immune functions as well as the optimal production of red blood cells. On top of that, it helps reduce fatigue, exhaustion, supports mental well-being and proper nervous system function. Furthermore, it promotes metabolism, which is essential for energy production. The recommended daily intake is around 1.4–1.7 mg Vitamin B7 (biotin, vitamin H) binds itself to proteins in the diet, but has an effect on the metabolism of all macronutrients in the body. He is equally involved in promoting mental well-being and proper nervous system function. Vitamin B7 is also very popular among women, as it is involved in maintaining healthy hair and supple skin. The recommended daily intake is 40 µg. Vitamin B9 (folic acid, folate) plays an important role in the body, as it participates in the synthesis of nucleic acids during the production of blood cells. This vitamin is mostly the point of interest of pregnant women, since it is critical during the development and growth stage of the fetus. In addition, it also helps with reducing fatigue, exhaustion and supporting the immune system. Apart from that, it participates in the process of cell division and the production of blood cells. The recommended daily intake is 300-330 µg. Vitamin B12 (cobalamin) stands out due to the fact that the body is able to store it in reserve in large quantities. This leads to the possibility of our liver having 2000 times higher amount of this vitamin than it's really needed. Thus, its deficiency might manifest only after a few years. It also contributes to maintaining proper mental health and the function of the nervous system. In addition, it affects the production of red blood cells and also plays a role in the process of cell division. The recommended daily intake is 4 µg. Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) is primarily associated with beneficial effects on the immune and nervous systems, as well as mental well-being. However, these are not its only functions. It also participates in protecting cells from oxidative stress and reducing fatigue. Moreover, it is essential for the absorption of iron and the optimal production of collagen (the main protein that forms connective tissues). Collagen is important, for example, for the health of skin, teeth, bones, cartilage, and blood vessels. The recommended daily intake is 95-110 mg. What forms of vitamins are there? Capsules and tablets – no need for anything extra, just swallow them. Effervescent tablets – they usually taste great and can be used to add variety to your water intake Powdered blends – similar to effervescent tablets, they are a great way to diversify your fluids intake when you mix them together with water. Gummy vitamins – an ideal form for those who dislike swallowing tablets. Drops – the greatest advantage is their ease of use. They also stand out due to their rapid absorption rate. Spray – excellent for easy dosage and fast absorption. Oil – a great form, especially for fat-soluble vitamins. It can be consumed on its own, but it's ideal in combination with meals. Chewable tablets - they taste great and can be taken at any time of the day.

- [Minerals](https://gymbeam.com/minerals-1): Minerals in the body are divided into macromineral and micromineral substances. Macromineral substances are specific in that their daily intake should be higher than 100 mg. The intake of microminerals should be in the range of 0-100 mg. Macrominerals Calcium – the richest sources of calcium include dairy products, canned fish, nuts, seeds and some leafy vegetables. It is also found in whey proteins or concentrated supplements. Calcium is essential for the transmission of nerve impulses, muscle contraction and proper blood clotting. In addition, it participates in the formation of teeth and bones. This is why it is popular with people who are trying to prevent the development of osteoporosis (thinning of the bones). In addition, it also positively affects the proper functioning of digestive enzymes, blood clotting, muscles and also contributes to the proper metabolism important for energy production. The recommended daily intake is 800 mg. Phosphorus – like calcium, it has the effect of maintaining healthy teeth, bones and proper metabolism important for energy production. In addition, it also helps the proper functioning of cell membranes. Foods rich in phosphorus include chicken, turkey and pork, seafood, milk or nuts, cereals and some seeds. The recommended daily intake is 700 mg. Magnesium – one of the most important minerals. It is involved in more than 300 biochemical reactions in the body which could not take place without it. Its richest sources include whole grains, legumes, nuts and nutty butters, seeds, leafy vegetables and cocoa. Its intake is important mostly for active athletes who suffer from frequent muscle cramps. Magnesium has a beneficial effect on the proper function of muscles and the nervous system. Like calcium, it is important for the transmission of nerve impulses and muscle contraction. However, it also contributes to the reduction of fatigue and exhaustion, electrolyte balance, proper psychological function and normal protein synthesis. Moreover, it is known to help maintain healthy teeth and bones. The recommended daily intake is 375 mg. Sodium – is found in almost every household. For example, classic table salt is one of its concentrated sources. Optimal sodium intake is important, for example, for athletes as it supports hydration of the body, which can thus help boost sports performance. Together with potassium, it regulates the body's water balance. As its level decreases, cramps may occur during sports activity. This is also the reason why especially endurance athletes supplement sodium during exercise. However, you should not overdo it with its intake. Excessive amounts in the body can lead to high blood pressure and other health problems. The recommended daily intake is 2g. Potassium – in addition to concentrated supplements, we can also get potassium from foods, for example from fruits (bananas, oranges, apricots), spinach, broccoli, milk, legumes or potatoes. Together with sodium, it is one of the minerals that affect the hydration of the body which can ultimately affect performance. Moreover, it helps maintain normal blood pressure, proper muscle function and also the proper functioning of the nervous system. The recommended daily intake is 2 g. Chlorine – a mineral whose source is sodium chloride, i.e. table salt. Chloride is characterized by the ability to contribute to proper digestion by producing hydrochloric acid in the stomach. Optimal chlorine intake can be crucial for people who have digestive problems. The recommended daily intake is 800 mg. Sulfur – enters the body most often in a diet rich in protein. Its sources include poultry, seafood, legumes, almonds, Brazil nuts, eggs and dairy products. Sulfur is part of two essential AMKs - cysteine and methionine. It is found in almost all cells in the body and in higher amounts we find it, for example, in the skin, nails or hair. It is involved in many processes in the body and therefore its optimal intake is very important. There is no recommended daily intake for sulfur. Microminerals Iron affects cognitive function, proper red blood cell production, oxygen transfer and optimal immune function. It also helps reduce fatigue, exhaustion and plays a role in the process of cell division. Iron is found mainly in meat, fish or leafy vegetables. The recommended daily dose is 14 mg. Zinc helps protect cells from oxidative stress, maintain healthy skin, nails and hair as well as normal blood testosterone levels and also contributes to the proper functioning of immunity. In addition, it affects fertility and reproductive functions. Sources of zinc include, for example, meat, legumes and whole-grain products. The recommended daily dose is 10 mg. Copper is important for maintaining healthy connective tissues, hair, skin pigmentation and the functioning of immunity. In addition, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress. Copper is one of the minerals that affect the functioning of the nervous system. We find it mainly in fish, seafood or nuts. The recommended daily dose is 1 mg. Iodine is a mineral that affects cognitive function, the functioning of the nervous system and maintaining healthy skin. In addition, it contributes to the proper production of thyroid hormones and its optimal functioning. Iodine is found, for example, in seafood and iodine-enriched salts. The recommended daily dose is 150 μg. Fluorine is mostly found in the body in the form of fluoride. Specifically, it is found in bones and teeth. It is important for the proper mineralization of teeth. Fluorine is found mainly in toothpastes or drinking water. The recommended daily dose is 3.5 mg. Chromium affects the body's proper metabolism of macronutrients and also helps maintain normal blood glucose levels. For this reason, it is especially popular among people who are trying to lose weight or get rid of sweet tooth. Sweet tooth can be the result of unstable glucose levels and its frequent fluctuations. Chromium is found mainly in meat, cheese and nuts. The recommended daily dose is 40 μg. Cobalt affects the proper functioning of the body and is part of vitamin B12. It is found, for example, in fish, nuts or green leafy vegetables. The recommended daily dose is 4.2–8.6 μg. Selenium contributes to proper spermatogenesis, maintaining healthy hair, nails, optimal functioning of immunity as well as thyroid gland, and also helps protect cells from oxidative stress. It is found mainly in seafood, eggs, milk and nuts or seeds. The recommended daily dose is 55 μg. Manganese helps with optimal metabolism important for energy production and maintaining healthy bones. In addition, it helps protect cells from oxidative stress and affects the normal formation of connective tissues. Manganese is found mainly in plant sources such as nuts and legumes. The recommended daily dose is 2 mg. Molybdenum contributes to the metabolism of sulfur amino acids. We can find it, for example, in legumes or whole-grain products. The recommended daily dose is 50 μg. As can be seen from the list, each mineral has an irreplaceable role in the body. Therefore, we should definitely not underestimate their intake. If you cannot cover the required daily dose with a balanced diet, it is appropriate to include supplementation. You can choose between a one-component or complex supplement which contains more minerals or even vitamins.
- [Joint Supplements](https://gymbeam.com/joint-supplements): What types of joint supplements are there and what do they contain? According to their composition, joint supplements can be divided into complex, collagen and single component. Complex joint nutrition most often includes glucosamine sulfate, chondroitin sulfate, MSM, as well as collagen or other selected ingredients. These compounds are needed for the optimal nutrition of cartilage and other structural parts of joints. In addition, they can slow down the natural degradation of cartilage, which gets worse with higher age. Glucosamine sulfate and chondroitin sulfate are a natural part of tissues of the musculoskeletal system, and their optimal amount is typically linked with the elasticity and resilience of articular cartilage. They are most often combined with MSM (methylsulfonylmethane). This takes part in the natural production of collagen and shows signs of antioxidant activity, which is important for protecting cells against oxidative stress. Joint supplements with collagen, in turn, help with replenishing the optimal level of said substance. As you may know, collagen supports the elasticity and strength of tendons, ligaments, and cartilage. At the same time, it reduces and absorbs the shocks from running, jumping and impacts. It is naturally produced by our body and vitamin C, which is also added to these supplements, promotes this process. Another popular ingredient used in joint care supplements is hyaluronic acid. We can find it in our joints, and it works as a lubricant to prevent friction between two articular cartilages. Finally, other joint supplements most often include single-component products, which can be used to enhance the functionality of their more complex counterparts. These include, for example, the Indian frankincense extract (Boswellia serrata), which is highly valued for its beneficial effect on joint function. Next, you can take care of chondroitin sulfate intake with the help of shark cartilage, which is a natural source of this substance. Therefore, the choice whether to use complex supplements for joint nutrition or combine several single-component products is up to you. Who should reach for joint supplements? Nutritional supplements containing the aforementioned ingredients are sure to be appreciated by people who experience problems with their joints or other parts of the musculoskeletal system. It is also great for those who do not have any difficulties yet, but would like to support their active lifestyle to the max. They are therefore suitable for all athletes, as they are prone to put excessive strain on their joints. But that's not all, runners, cyclists, weightlifters, and players of team sports, such as football or basketball players will also benefit from their effects. Joint supplements are also suitable for people with physically demanding jobs, restricted movement and the elderly. How to choose the right joint supplement? When selecting a joint supplement, pay special attention to its ingredient profile. It should almost always include 3 proven ingredients, namely chondroitin sulfate, glucosamine sulfate and MSM. You can complement these with other active ingredients such as collagen or hyaluronic acid, all according to your preference. Based on your needs, you can then add some additional single-component joint supplements to the mix. Having trouble picking the right joint supplements for you?

- [Fat Burners](https://gymbeam.com/fat-burners): How do fat burners work, and what do they contain? There are a number of fat burners to choose from. You can either opt for single component supplements or try complex products, in which the effects of individual ingredients complement each other. In both cases, you can find fat burners with or without a thermogenic effect. The latter is based on the principle of warming up the body, which can result in more calories being burned while at rest or during training. Synephrine ranks among the most popular single component thermogenic fat burners. This compound comes from the fruit of the bitter orange tree (Citrus aurantium) and has the ability to increase the breakdown of fats into energy. You can then use this energy for sports or other physical activities. The green tea extract (EGCG) boasts similar effects and works best in combination with physical activity. Green tea supplements also contain a bonus in the form of beneficial antioxidants. Another popular thermogenic fat burner is caffeine, which acts synergistically in combination with synephrine and EGCG. It is the world's most popular stimulant because it has also an effect on adrenaline and norepinephrine. These hormones (catecholamines) promote fat burning, which can then be used as a source of energy. Moreover, caffeine is a great way to energize yourself before exercise or at any time of the day. Thanks to this, you will be able to push yourself further and deliver a more concentrated performance during exercise, which in turn can help burn a little more extra calories and maximize the effect of the fat burner. Capsaicin also works on the principle of warming up the body and is the main component (alkaloid) of chilli peppers. This is exactly what makes you sweats profusely when eating spicy food. Fat burners without the thermogenic effect often include conjugated linoleic acid (CLA). This helps maintain normal blood cholesterol levels, and additionally, improve metabolism and thus affect the processes of burning and storing fat. Therefore, it functions like a transporter of fat to the cells, where it is then burned for energy. That said, it is also popular among bodybuilders who want a toned figure and physique athletes that strive to maintain as much muscle mass as possible. In fat burner supplements, it is often accompanied by hydroxycitric acid (HCA). The latter comes from an extract of Garcinia cambogia and is highly valued for its effects on increasing the feelings of satiety and satisfaction from eating. This may make it easier for you to maintain a caloric deficit and eat smaller portions of meals. Finally, supplements with these ingredients are also suitable for people who are sensitive to caffeine or are looking for a fat burner without stimulating effects. L-carnitine is yet another well-known non-thermogenic fat burner. This is the most used form of carnitine, which is naturally found in the human body. It participates in the transfer of fatty acids (fats) to the mitochondria, where they are then transformed into energy. This energy is then available for any kind of activity or movement. Therefore, this effect works best in combination with sports or exercise. You can take it in the form of a soluble powder, concentrated drink, or practical capsules. The Other Fat Burners category then includes the increasingly popular Indian Coleus plant extract (Coleus forskohlii), which contains forskolin. It has the ability to increase the activity of cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) in the body, which is linked with greater fat burning. However, raspberry ketones are also popular, mainly because they are associated with a faster rate of burning of fat and reducing appetite. Up next is chitosan, which is also a common part of weight loss supplements. It is a type of fibre that contributes to the maintenance of normal blood cholesterol levels and is also associated with decreasing the absorption rate of fats in the body. You can take all these ingredients separately, or try multicomponent products that have both thermogenic and non-thermogenic ingredients in their ingredient profile. Which ingredients do complex fat burners contain? Nero contains a combination of caffeine, tea extracts, green coffee, L-carnitine, chitosan and other active ingredients. On top of that, it is also enriched with the digestive enzyme bromelain. FueBurn boasts a premium thermogenic blend with caffeine, EGCG, synephrine, capsaicin and other biologically active ingredients. It was designed for maximum support of fat burning and weight loss. Beast Burn was designed specifically for women who want to support their weight loss efforts to the highest degree. It contains a wide range of active ingredients including L-carnitine, caffeine, synephrine, various plant extracts and chromium, which is most often linked with reducing sweet tooth. Night Burn contains a blend of 5 active ingredients, and it does not contain caffeine or other stimulants. Thanks to this, it is suitable for use even in the evening and does not negatively affect the quality of sleep. It is a complex multicomponent fat burner without a thermogenic effect. When losing weight, always keep in mind that the basis of success is staying in caloric deficit, which occurs when you burn more energy than you receive in a day or a longer period of time. This can be achieved mainly through dietary changes, as well as through physical activity. When you add into the equation a properly selected fat burner, you will make your weight loss efforts much more effective and speed up the whole process.

- [Healthy Fats](https://gymbeam.com/healthy-fats): Healthy fats are represented by unsaturated fatty acids, which are divided into: monounsaturated, which you can find, for example, in nut butters, olive, and rapeseed oils as well as in most nuts or avocados polyunsaturated, that are found in fish or nuts and seeds Monounsaturated fats are also known as omega-9 and the most popular member of this group is oleic acid. The latter is naturally found in a variety of foods, for example, in vegetable oils, nuts, seeds, or avocados. Oleic acid beneficially affects optimal blood cholesterol levels and reduces the risk of cardiovascular diseases. Thus, monounsaturated fats can be especially beneficial for everyone, including people with elevated blood cholesterol levels. Another type of healthy fats are polyunsaturated fatty acids. Our body can not synthesize (create) some of them, and so it is necessary to supplement them via other means. These include omega-3 and omega-6. The most popular type omega-3 (EPA, ALA and DHA) includes α-linolenic acid, which is most commonly found in seed oils. As an example, you can find it in flaxseed oil, chia seeds, as well as in rapeseed or soybean oil. EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) are again essential for the proper functioning of the whole body and are found mainly in oily marine fish, but also in fish or krill oil. The intake of omega-3 fatty acids has the following effects: EPA/DHA contribute to a proper heart function DHA has an effect on maintaining optimal brain functions DHA promotes good eyesight ALA affects the normal level of cholesterol in the blood Linoleic acid is a rich source of omega-6 and can be found in sunflower, sesame, corn, or soybean oil. Its intake is very important because it contributes to maintaining optimal blood cholesterol levels. Choose from our wide offer and feel the magic of healthy fats on your own skin.

Moreover, it is also an essential part of the antioxidant system.

Resistance bands, also known as exercise bands, will help effectively strengthen all muscle groups and make home and gym workouts more challenging or easier. They are easily combined with expanders. Fit balls & balance pads rank among home workout equipment that helps improve overall stability, balance, and body posture. They are great for strength training, relaxation, and stretching the entire body. Massage rollers, whether classic or vibrating, are used for self-massage, relaxation, improving the range of motion, and muscle recovery after a workout or at any time. They can also promote blood flow in the massaged areas, which is beneficial before physical performance. Exercise mats are used in Pilates, yoga, strength training, massage, stretching, or meditation. Weights provide additional resistance for more challenging workouts. They are useful for building strength and muscle mass. Examples include weighted vests, kettlebells, sandbags, and other equipment. Barbells & dumbbells are a "must-have" for every strength-training athlete. Simply choose the traditional or adjustable dumbbells or a barbell with weight plates according to your abilities, and you can get down to training right away. Suspension trainers can be used for both home and outdoor workouts. Their portability is a significant advantage, as you can easily pack them for travel and have a full-body workout anytime you feel like it. Pull-up bars & parallel bars are particularly popular among outdoor workout enthusiasts. This equipment helps improve their skills even from the comfort of their home. Yoga & Pilates activities just can't do without exercise mats (yoga mats, foam mats), resistance bands, balance props, and other accessories. They help facilitate body and mind relaxation and support recovery. Smart exercise equipment features innovative fitness accessories for home workouts that can make exercising more enjoyable and turn it up a notch. It also includes multi-functional tools for post-workout recovery and smart scales that track the progress towards your goals.

- [Fitness & Exercise Equipment](https://gymbeam.com/fitness-and-exercise-equipment): What fitness and exercise equipment can you find in this category? If you engage in rigorous exercises such as squats, deadlifts, and other demanding workouts at the gym, or if you participate in weightlifting, powerlifting, or crossfit, a weightlifting belt can be incredibly beneficial. It helps strengthen the core, providing support for executing the proper technique of an exercise while minimizing the risk of injuries. In the end, this allows you to lift heavier weights. Additionally, lifting straps are another valuable accessory that can assist you in this endeavour. By securing them around your wrists and then wrapping them around the bar, you can alleviate strain on your forearms, particularly while performing deadlifts. These straps enhance your grip strength, allowing you to lift heavier weights with greater stability. In addition to the aforementioned fitness equipment, weightlifting gloves are recommended to safeguard your hands from blisters and abrasions when using exercise machines, bars, or dumbbells. However, if you prefer the tactile experience of direct contact with the weights, chalk can be the go-to choice instead. Chalk effectively absorbs sweat, preventing the bar or weights from slipping out of your grasp. Moreover, for added support during strength training, consider using elbow, knee, or wrist wraps. These wraps are valuable in stabilizing and fixating the joints, allowing for safer and more effective workouts. Within this category, you will also find various equipment that can enhance your yoga, Pilates, or rehabilitation sessions. Exercise mats are essential, providing a comfortable and supportive surface for performing yoga asanas or engaging in stretching exercises. Additionally, items like massage rollers, the Relaxation & Back Massage Pad or a fit ball can be beneficial for these activities as well. It's crucial to remember to stay hydrated throughout the day, especially during your favourite activities. Whether you're working out at home or training at the gym, shakers will definitely come in handy. They will allow you to easily prepare BCAAs or creatine, as well as post-workout protein shakes. Sports bottles are then an excellent choice for outdoor pursuits such as hiking, cycling, running or others. Consider the sleek Stellar Bottle or the Eco Bamboo thermos bottle to take care of your fluid intake throughout the day. When it comes to food preparation, food containers are the obvious choice, while practical pill organizers or measuring cups make it easier to handle dietary supplements. When engaging in sports activities, it's also no less important to remember to bring along a towel. In the gym, a towel serves multiple purposes. It not only helps in wiping away sweat, but also acts as a hygienic barrier when using exercise machines or yoga mats. Moreover, it comes in handy after a shower, allowing you to effectively dry your body. Treat yourself to effective fitness and exercise equipment from this category and speed up your progress in achieving your healthy lifestyle goals.

- [Rehabilitation Aids](https://gymbeam.com/rehabilitation-aids): Massage guns are innovative self-massage tools designed to release tension in muscles throughout the body.

Massage rollers, also known as foam rollers, are great for effectively massaging muscles and relieving trigger points throughout the body. Athletes can benefit from them before and after workouts or during recovery. Massage tools are ideal for releasing stiff backs or relaxing after a demanding day. These include massage balls, acupressure sets, or relaxation and back massage pads. Other rehabilitation aids feature kinesiology tapes, which come in handy during recovery from injuries.
