Vitamins question

Hey bros,

Just wondering if anyone has an idea or a link as to what vitamins/minerals/supplements a weightlifter should take and what amounts. When I say supplements I mean flax oil, dhea etc. Not the typical GNC/FLEX magazine type supps.

Thanks
 
Not really a tip on what your asking but more on HOW to take Multivitamins:

Many ingredients it them are increased in uptake by simply taking then with a fatty meal

I go on feel and becuase I take half a tab of a full tab Each night I am always in the positive despite working out soo much.
 
Thanks omega. I guess that makes sense since most vits are fat soluble. Correct me if I'm wrong but I think only C and the B's are water soluble?

There's 13 different vitamins, A, E, D and K are fat soluble like bg65 said, the other 9 are water soluble :). If you are using a good diet you don't need extra vitamins.
 
I take a regular multivitamin/mineral every morning with breakfast and omega 3 twice a day with a meal and my protien shake:)


At the moment I'm taking
Morning Multivitamin{ADAMs}
Protein powder 3 x daily
Preworkout- home made blend of -
L-Glutamine
Taurine
Creatine Monohydrate
DiCreatine Malate
Citrulline Malate
Arginine alpha-ketoglutarate
Arginine Ethyl Ester

:)

Do you got any studies that it works? Are you using EAA`before workout?

Omega-3 is really good supplement :) Eat a lot of walnuts and salmon too, it will provide your body with god fat, protein and omega-3! Are you using EAA? (essentiella amino acids)

The protein shake I'm using contains a great amino acid amount. I always keep salmon around, very good and I also like tilapia very good white meat on this fish and contains lots of protein 21 grams per 4 ounce fillet!:D

Good :D, But you can take Eaa for a other purpose, take it 10 minutes befor traning and it will increase your protein-synthesis.

Timing of nutrient ingestion has been demonstrated to influence the anabolic response of muscle following exercise. Previously, we demonstrated that net amino acid uptake was greater when free essential amino acids plus carbohydrates were ingested prior to resistance exercise rather than following exercise. However, it is unclear if ingestion of whole proteins prior to exercise would stimulate a superior response compared to following exercise. This study was designed to examine the response of muscle protein balance to ingestion of whey proteins both prior to and following resistance exercise.

Healthy volunteers were randomly assigned to one of two groups. A solution of whey proteins was consumed either immediately prior to exercise or immediately following exercise. Each subject performed 10 sets of 8 repetitions of leg extension exercise. Phenylalanine concentrations were measured in femoral arteriovenous samples to determine balance across the leg. Arterial amino acid concentrations were elevated by ~50% and net amino acid balance switched from negative to positive following ingestion of proteins at either time. Amino acid uptake was not significantly different between PRE and POST when calculated from the beginning of exercise (67+/-22 and 27+/-10 for PRE and POST, respectively) or from the ingestion of each drink (60+/-17 and 63+/-15 for PRE and POST, respectively).

Thus, the response of net muscle protein balance to timing of intact protein ingestion does not respond as does that of the combination of free amino acids and carbohydrate.
