 Multi-vitamins are the best bodybuilding supplements. Supplementation with these micronutrients is not directly responsible for adding extra pounds of muscle on you. Nevertheless it has adequate levels that will form the base that allows the rest of your nutrition program be successful.
You won’t maximize your weight gain program’s potential without this base. Your body must have access to all the necessary nutrients in order to perform at its maximum potential. All the millions of ongoing biochemical reactions that happen to keep your body functioning are assisted by the micronutrients.
The processes that are assisted by the micronutrients:
- Hormone Regulation (it regulates a healthy level of testosterone in your body)
- Protein Synthesis (helps your body maintain ability to use protein for building muscle tissue)
- Metabolic Regulation (controls energy level, growth and repair of muscle).
Human body is essentially one giant mass of chemical reactions. Each of these individual reactions is supplied by small proteins called enzymes, which work by lowering the amount of energy that is required for a specific reaction to happen. Enzymes require the use of a “co-enzyme” which changes its shape and allows it to conduct its job properly. Co-enzymes are also referred to as vitamins. Vitamins play not only an important role in overall metabolism and body health, but they also play a vital part in the muscle-building process.
The list of vitamins and the ways in which they will aid you both in and out of the gym:
Vitamin A
It is crucial to the process of protein synthesis where individual amino acids are combined to form new muscle tissue. Vitamin A also helps the body to create glycogen, the stored form of carbohydrates within the body.
Vitamin B1
It is involved in protein metabolism as well as the production of hemoglobin which helps to carry oxygen around the body.
Vitamin B2
It aids in the fat burning process as well as helping the body to produce energy from carbohydrates.
Vitamin B3
It increases vasodilatation within the muscle tissue, in such way helping you to look more vascular and fuller.
Vitamin B6
It is very important owing to its effect on protein digestion. Muscle-building diets require larger than normal amounts of protein, and this means that your body needs a higher amount of vitamin B6 than the average person.
Vitamin B12
It helps the body metabolize amino acids and produce energy during workouts.
Vitamin C
It involved in amino acid metabolism and the formation of collagen. Collagen keeps your joints strong and healthy. Vitamin C also plays a role in the production of steroid hormones in the body and also enhances the absorption of iron. Additionally, vitamin C is a drastic antioxidant that flushes out free radicals and prevents damage to your body cells.
Vitamin D
It helps the body to absorb calcium and phosphorus more rationally. Calcium helps to maintain strong bones and joints.
Vitamin E
It is a very powerful antioxidant that helps to search out and neutralize free radicals.
