GymBeam guide identifies scientifically backed supplements

A supplement guide released by GymBeam identifies four specific dietary supplements that are supported by either an EU-approved health claim or a position paper from the International Society of Sports Nutrition (ISSN).

The four substances identified are whey protein, creatine monohydrate, vitamin D3, and omega-3 fatty acids (EPA and DHA). According to the guide, these are the only standard supplements with scientifically verified claims regarding their efficacy at specific dosages.

Protein is noted for its role in the buildup and maintenance of muscle mass, while creatine monohydrate is recognized for increasing physical performance during short, successive, intense bouts of exertion. The guide emphasizes that other supplements are considered fine-tuning and are only effective once training, caloric intake, and sleep are optimized.
