I wanna build muscles like Bollywood or Hollywood actors. and I wanna build Six-Pack abs. I am a vegetarian. I have mediocre physique. I have heard of supplements such as Whey protein, Creatine, Glutamine etc. Are they useful for body. Are there side-effects of it on body. if not will there be in future in age such as 50, 60 or later or even early. please dispel my doubts regarding it. Thanks for Your time.
If you are just starting out the most important thing, other than exercise, is that you eat right. In order to build muscle you need healthy protein from foods like chicken and egg whites. However, it is recommended you get 130g of protein per day in order to gain muscle and a protein shake makes this a lot easier.
I have taken a number of different proteins some of which I found incredibly hard to digest. It often left me feeling extremely bloated so I tried to find alternatives. Hemp and pea protein were the two I decided I would try. Don’t take soy, I’m not a nutritionist, but a simple search on Google and you will find a lot of health experts saying it can be dangerous.
Anyway, I thoroughly recommend the hemp protein. Many other supplements will not be suitable for vegetarians, however, hemp protein comes from plants, is completely natural and I find it easy to digest. I suggest starting out with protein and read journals and reliable sources about other supplements and see what you think will work for you. I will leave you a link to the site from which I get my protein.

Being a vegetarian, it will be hard to build muscle. Protein drinks and supplements are good, but cannot replace real food. Actual lean protein (turkey, grilled chicken breast, fish) can’t be fully substituted. If you aren’t willing to go against your vegetarian diet, protein drinks are a good choice, however your body won’t absorb the protein as well, and the protein won’t be of the same quality. Skim milk is a vital nutrient. Drink lots of it.
There aren’t any side-effects that I know of from supplements.
