Muscle
Sorted from the strongest evidence to the most limited.
BCAA / Essential Amino Acids
Strong
Three amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, valine) taken around exercise: they slightly reduce muscle soreness, but do not build muscle or improve performance.
Sodium bicarbonate
Strong
Baking soda, used as a buffer against acidity that accumulates during short, very high-intensity efforts.
Creatine monohydrate
Strong
The most studied supplement in strength training, for strength and muscle mass gain.
Whey protein
Strong
A powdered milk protein. With weight training, it provides a little more lean mass and strength, especially under 40 years of age, but no more than a plant protein with an equal amount of leucine.
Casein
Moderate
Slow-digesting milk protein: 40 g before sleep increase muscle synthesis overnight, but post-workout, whey performs better in the short term.
Beta-alanine
Limited
An amino acid that delays the feeling of muscular fatigue during intense efforts.
