Scanning workout supplement labels shouldn’t feel like reading a foreign language you never studied in school. From amino acids to creatine, there are common ingredients you should look for but, more importantly, you should understand why you’re looking for them. Knowledge is power, so know your supplement ingredients from A to Z so you understand how they can help you get more out of your training.

When it comes to muscle repair and growth, protein is everything. You can get it from a lot of different foods and supplements, but two of the top supplement sources are whey and casein. Whey protein comes from the watery portion of milk that separates from the curds when making cheese, and it’s considered a complete protein because it contains all nine essential amino acids. It helps fuel muscles during resistance training and provides the building blocks your body needs to repair your muscles post-workout. Like whey protein, casein also contains all nine essential amino acids. It is a high-quality, slow-digesting protein that provides a steady release of amino acids over time, which is why many people take casein before bed.
