Supplements Explained: What Actually Works for Muscle Growth & Performance
If you train consistently and care about real results, you’ve probably asked:
Which supplements are actually worth buying?
At Elite Nutrition Thailand, we offer a curated range of evidence-based, high-quality supplements designed to support real performance improvements—from building muscle and increasing strength to enhancing recovery and energy.
This guide explains which supplements truly support muscle growth and performance—and how to use them correctly.
Supplements Support Results — They Don’t Replace the Fundamentals
No supplement can replace:
- A structured workout program
- Adequate calories and protein
- Quality sleep and recovery
Supplements work best when they support an already solid routine. When used correctly, they help you push harder, recover faster, and stay consistent.
Protein Powder: The Daily Essential
Protein is the cornerstone of muscle growth. Whole foods should always be the foundation of your nutrition, but protein powder makes it easier to hit your daily protein goals.
Recommended Products from Elite Nutrition Thailand
- Applied Nutrition – Critical Whey Protein (2kg) – Ideal daily protein source for post-workout recovery.
- Swedish Supplements – Whey Deluxe (900g) – Premium whey blend with great taste and mixability.
These products deliver high-quality protein per serving and help support muscle repair and growth.
How much to aim for:
Most active individuals benefit from 1.6–2.2 g of protein per kg of bodyweight per day.
Creatine Monohydrate: One of the Most Effective Supplements
Creatine monohydrate is one of the most researched and effective performance supplements in sports nutrition. It helps improve strength, power, and muscle cellular hydration—making your workouts more productive.
Recommended Product
- Applied Nutrition – Creatine Monohydrate (250g) – Pure and straightforward creatine to support strength and performance gains.
How to use:
Take 3–5 g daily, consistently, with water or your shake.
Pre-Workout: Energy and Focus for Hard Training
A good pre-workout can help you train with more intensity. Look for products with transparent ingredient dosages and avoid proprietary blends with hidden amounts.
Recommended Product
- Applied Nutrition – ABE All Black Everything (315g) – A powerful pre-workout formula designed to boost energy, focus, and performance.
This is ideal for early morning sessions or days when you need an extra performance edge.
Vitamins & Minerals: Nutritional Insurance
Micronutrients don’t build muscle directly, but deficiencies can hamper energy levels, recovery, and overall performance.
Recommended Products
- Swedish Supplements – Vitamin K2 + D3 (60 caps) – Supports immune function, bone health, and recovery.
- Swedish Supplements – Potassium (90 caps) – Important for electrolyte balance and muscle function.
These are especially useful if your diet is inconsistent or you train hard in hot climates.
Fat Burners and Metabolic Support
While fat burners are not miracle products, some formulas can modestly support calorie burning when combined with diet and exercise.
Related Product Example
- Swedish Supplements – Synephrine 40mg (90 tabs) – Intended to support metabolism when paired with a solid routine.
Remember: fat loss always comes down to calories in vs. calories out.
Supplements We Don’t Overhype
We avoid overhyping products with minimal evidence or exaggerated claims. Examples that often fall into this category include:
- Isolated Testosterone boosters without clinical support
- BCAAs when adequate daily protein intake is already met
- Proprietary “fat-burning stacks” without transparency
Our focus is on products with clear, evidence-aligned functionality.
The Smart Supplement Stack We Recommend
For most customers focused on muscle growth and performance:
- Protein powder – daily nutrition support
- Creatine monohydrate – strength and performance enhancement
- Pre-workout – energy and focus (optional)
- Vitamins & minerals – nutritional support
- Metabolic supporter – for fat-loss phases (optional)
This stack covers performance, recovery, and consistency—without unnecessary extras.
