Supplements for muscle building

Explore our lecture on “Supplements for muscle building” with Professor Brad Schoenfeld. In this session, Brad examines the evidence behind some of the most discussed supplements for muscle hypertrophy, including creatine, caffeine, beta-alanine, and protein supplements. The lecture places supplementation in context as a relatively small but potentially meaningful part of the muscle-building picture, emphasising that training, nutrition, sleep, individual response, cost-benefit decisions, and product quality should guide practical use.

What we will cover:
How important are supplements for building muscle?

What does the evidence show for creatine as a supplement?

Can caffeine or beta-alanine indirectly support hypertrophy?

When are protein supplements useful, and how much protein is best?

How should athletes and practitioners navigate supplements?
