5. Supplement Recommendations

-
Pre-Workout: Increases focus, energy, and endurance for those tough sessions.

L-Glutamine (micronized): Speeds up recovery, supports gut health, and reduces soreness.

Vegan Protein: Ideal for post-workout recovery—mix it with your favorite snack like rice cakes & peanut butter for a balanced refuel.
