Hello M Double You, 

I am a novice fighter and I have a goal to once stand in the ring but what supplements should I take? . I train 3 to 4 times per week, 2 times a week cardio and 2 times a week basic combat training. I am 23 years old and currently weigh 75 kilos. What kind of supplements should I take?



MDY Answer: Hello Anonymous, because I could not find your name in your mail. Good question and you're not the first asking this question. First of all you train 4 times a week, very good and you combine cardio with strength. In your mail I can read that you would like to compete in the near future with your current weight. You would like your current excess fat reduced and produce nice quality muscle. The basic protein is preferably a Ultra Pure Whey or Whey Protein 2 Go and of course a good multi vitamin / mineral complex as a Multi Max. But it is also important to take a Total Recovery Drink with PeptoPro after each workout dissolved in 500 ml of water. The protein shake I personally would take 1 to 2 times daily 30 grams. Take 1 shake 30 minutes after each workout and every morning also 1 shake of 30 grams. If you uses these basic rules you will make nice progression weekly. See your debut in the ring, you never know!

Hello MDY,
I'm Oscar and I train about 2 times a week in strength and I read a lot about supplements but what can you advise me? I am about 70 pounds and would like to gain weight.

MDY Answer: Oscar, Thank you for your question and there are 2 things I noticed immediately. You train 2 times a week and you would like to be gain weight. The question whether you need extra supplements I will honestly answer 'No'. This is because with 2 basic trainings your diet is quite adequate. Of course a Multi Vitamins / Minerals complex is a must for everyone whether you sport or don’t sport. As a preventive measure you could take Omega 3 6 9 fatty acids. Also I read that you want to get heavier, unfortunately you do not indicate what your target weight is and what is your current weight. Therefore, I recommend you XXL Gainer a weight gainer that provides extra calories. This product is regularly used by people who do not train but who would like to gain weight. So you see that you do not always have to train to use supplements. Oscar good luck and let me know your progress!

Hello MDY,
I read so many good reports about PeptoPro, what exactly is this and how can I use it. Also, a question may I use PeptoPro together with other proteins? And which one preferably? Incidentally I am a regular cycle and endurance athlete and also spinning 2 times per week.

MDY Answer: Great question, and of course I'd like you to explain. PeptoPro developed by DSM and is well developed in the last 10 years and also more familiar with the athlete. PeptoPro is a predigested milk protein. The milk proteins are already dissolved (predigested) by di and tri petides, this normally happens in our stomach. Because PeptoPro is so modified, the PeptoPro works within 6 minutes if you take it with a rapid carbohydrate (as in Total recovery drink) Just use it immediately after your workout or performance with 350 to 500 ml of water. If you take 12.5 grams of PeptoPro you will actually take in 10 grams PeptoPro. Also we have a Pure PeptoPro available without any additions.

Hello M Double You.
My name is Ebert and I have bad knees, I'm now lost my ligaments and there's hardly any cartilage in my knee joint. I would like to run, and do spinning because I still feel jong at heart. But my knees betrayed my age, I am 45 years old. I train 4 times a week, spinning, golf and want so much but the pain in my knees me too much. What could you advise me?

MDY Answer: Hard problem but there is actually something to do, I would first recommend Glucosamine Plus for your remaining cartilage. You will see that the whole joint will function better because you will get less and less pain. But I advise you strongly not to go jogging but only to go cycling. This kind of movement is much less damaging to your knee joint, although you do not feel 45, it is best to go only on the spin and cross trainer to train to improve your condition. Of course I recommend strength training for your leg muscles so that they will become stronger and replace the function of the cruciate ligaments. So Ebert just keep training and combine strength training with cardio training. Think of your basics off course, take a daily multivitamin / mineral supplement such as the Twins and regular take a protein shake, especially after each strength training.
