What vitamins are good for building muscle an protien uptake. Our just good for working out period?
Certain vitamins can help enhance the absorption of certain nutrients, but do not "build muscle", per se. As long as you're meeting the RDI/AI (or, if training heavily, on the higher end of the recommended daily dosages) for each vitamin/mineral, then you should be fine re health.What vitamins are good for building muscle an protien uptake.

Couldn't agree more buddy...I have enjoyed a few others along the way as well...but i've never FELT a difference like I do with Mvp365MVP365 has been my favorite Multi yet, the profile is great and I really notice the difference in my day when I take it.
Quite the contrary. The RDA is for NORMAL people, not athletes. Even the "higher end" as you put it.Certain vitamins can help enhance the absorption of certain nutrients, but do not "build muscle", per se.

They would be if they were supplementing with ZMK and a proper diet :biglaugh:And most americans aren't consuming nearly enough in the first place, even athletes:
"The latest government study shows a staggering 68% of Americans do not consume the recommended daily intake of magnesium. Even more frightening are data from this study showing that 19% of Americans do not consume even half of the government’s recommended daily intake of magnesium."
Yeah. Thats why I supplement with a highly absorbable form of magnesium as well. It's funny though, you'd be surprised how little magnesium you get even through a "proper" diet. Especially if you consider all the factors that influence magnesium absorption and excretion.They would be if they were supplementing with ZMK and a proper diet :biglaugh:
yes well a lot of the problem that people face without even realizing it, is that they are consuming the majority of their magnesium at the same time as their calcium...which i'm sure as you know, dramatically will effect the total intake of either.Yeah.

Exactly. High blood calcium increases urinary magnesium excretion. And I'm pretty sure I've read some studies that state they also compete for mineral transport in the small intestine.yes well a lot of the problem that people face without even realizing it, is that they are consuming the majority of their magnesium at the same time as their calcium...which i'm sure as you know, dramatically will effect the total intake of either.
Abstract: Following a minimum 10-hour fast, urine samples from 12 female college student volunteers were analyzed at 1,2,and 3 hours for Ca-, Mg-, Na-, and K-levels after drinking non-caffeinated or caffeinated test beverages (decaffeinated coffee or tea containing 0,150, or 300 mg of added caffeine). The 3-hour urinary excretion of Ca Mg, and Na but not K significantly increased after caffeine consumption. Total urine volume correlated significantly with caffeine intake per kilogram of body weight when 300 mg of caffeine were consumed, while the effects of caffeine on mineral excretions were attributed to urinary concentration changes and increased urine volume at 1 and 2 hour urine samplings. Thee possible reasons for these observed effects are discussed. (wz).
I am well aware that athletes (and I mean SERIOUS athletes; not just someone who goes to the gym a few times a week and thinks they train hard) need higher than the average population, due to their body's needs. However there IS an upper limit on certain vitamins/minerals for safety reasons, even for athletes and those involved in heavy exercise.Quite the contrary. The RDA is for NORMAL people, not athletes.

A few hard training sessions a week is more than enough for most people to start going into a negative magnesium balance. Especially with the high amount of stressors that we are subjected to today, that we weren't in our evolutionary past.I am well aware that athletes (and I mean SERIOUS athletes; not just someone who goes to the gym a few times a week and thinks they train hard) need higher than the average population, due to their body's needs.
