Do you know what are the 5 most important vitamins for muscle growth and recovery?

Sometimes you feel tired and sluggish, or you feel like you have no energy and you have a hard time recovering from your workout…

What if it was a vitamin deficiency that prevented you from taking advantage of your training?

Even though vitamins appear to be a non-essential supplement, and you feel like you have enough in your diet, you will be surprised to see that they combine to make your muscles swell and repair your tissues.

The synthesis of proteins itself depends on certain vitamins and minerals…you will be surprised how much your workout results can vary just by taking these right combination of supplements.

Vitamin A

Vitamin A is a very important and healthy vitamins, and yet most adults often do not include it in their diets. As protein synthesis increases, the level of vitamin A decreases because its degradation is necessary for this process. In order to support the protein synthesis, Vitamin A is essential for muscle growth. The most interesting however is its immense effect on testosterone.

Vitamin D

Vitamin D, as we call it as the “sunshine vitamin”, is fat soluble vitamin that is crucial for maintaining strong bones and muscle health. It not only helps to increase testosterone production by up 20%, but it also improves bone health and resistance.

Many food including oily fish like salmon and trout, dairy, eggs, plants, and fungi all contain varying amounts.

I have been researching which form of Vitamin C is the most convenient form and for me the powder form is the best. I can add it to my shake, my regular daily tea, and since it is in powder form, it dissolves really well and your body can absorb it right away. This is the Vitamin C brand I have been using for over 2 years..

For Vitamin A, I have been taking this product and it seems to work well together with the Vitamin D. It’s best to take Vitamin A and D together for maximum absorption.

Vitamin C

One of the best known, on the health side, is a powerful antioxidant that protects the muscle cells from the oxidation and attack of free radicals. It also intervenes in the manufacture of anabolic hormones and testosterone. A little less is known about its role on collagen, of which it is an essential component. Recall that collagen is the main constituent of connective tissue, therefore bones and muscles. More resistant, the joints manage the possibility of lifting heavier without hurting themselves. It also reduces pain and stiffness according to studies that have clearly demonstrated.

Vitamin E

It is the vitamin of the skin. It is used against stretch marks and skin problems in general, but it is also a powerful antioxidant that protects the cells during intense training. When accumulation of these free radicals, the body loads up toxins, decreasing performance, muscle growth, recovery and immune health. Vitamin E reduces this oxidative stress. As it also reduces blood pressure, blood circulation is better and nutrients arrive in the muscles.

Group B vitamins

Group B vitamins are very important for muscle growth and recovery. Among them, vitamin B6 and vitamin B12 have a direct role in protein metabolism. The more protein you consume, the more you need vitamin B6 to metabolize them. The B6 and B12 support each other to produce more red blood cells and immune system cells. Vitamin B9 or folic acid plays a role in the production of nitric oxide NO, which improves blood flow and promotes the massive arrival of nutrients in the muscles.
