Subject: RE: Vitamins and supplements This is what I take and how I take it, and the reasons why:
Daily: One multivitamin that contains a higher percentage of minerals then your typical over the counter daily vitamin. If I can find the name I will post it.
I take 1000 mg of potassium spread out over 5 does daily.
I take 1000 mg of vitamin C, because my workouts tend to cause my system to be very susceptible to illness (minor colds and what not ). I take this in powder form because I have a hard time with the pills - it makes my tummy hurt
I take the potassium becuase I do alot of my training in the heat and humidity, and I cramp up alot if I dont keep my mineral levels high.
I am suffering through a small hamstring thing now, so I am also taking ibuprofen in the morrning and at night.
Has it made a difference? Yes, especially the potassium use. I would cramp up alot on my bricks, especially in my calfs. |
