For you to get the best results from your workout, your body needs all the necessary vitamins and minerals as well as necessary levels of major components of the diet being proteins, carbohydrates and lipids. These are referred to as the 'macro-nutrients' of the diet as they are consumed in much larger quantities, where as the 'micro-nutrients' being vitamins and minerals are consumed in much smaller quantities. We know that most of the micro-nutrients are already present in the foods that make up the macro-nutrients, but it has been proven that hard-training bodybuilders need a lot more than food can provide in terms of the micro-nutrients. Taking this into account and the stress factor that the body undergoes during training, a large amount of the micro-nutrients are needed in growth and body tissue repair. Therefore extra levels are required by the body which can not be acquired by food alone, which is where vitamin and mineral supplements come in and should be taken on a daily basis. The main question is what to take and when during the day. A good time in the day to take a multi-vitamin and mineral supplement is along with the first meal of the day and this meal SHOULD be breakfast. If you are inclined to skip breakfast then you really are working against yourself in terms of any lean muscle mass gains that you would otherwise make if you had a good breakfast every day. After you have been asleep for a number of hours, then when you awake your blood sugar level is low, and the body is at the point where it has to start accessing materials to raise blood sugar and this ALSO means that your muscles can be accessed to raise blood sugar i.e. the muscles are being broken down (catabolised) in such a situation which is the exact opposite to what we want which is building muscles (anabolism) i.e. BODYBUILDING! Therefore, as you can see, a good breakfast is an extremely important meal, which should include milk, an egg-white omelette and complex carbohydrates including rice, which boost blood sugar levels steadily as they are digested. So make sure you give yourself sufficient time in the morning for breakfast otherwise visible results on training will be slow. Some people may not have much of an appetite at first, but as long as you eat something good for breakfast (even if it's only a banana), then don't worry, because your appetite can be your guide, and will probably increase along with gains from your training. Why the appetite increase? Because your body has more muscle tissue to nourish as your training progresses.Many people may benefit greatly from extra vitamin B-complex supplementation, and also extra vitamin C. The B-complex vitamins and vitamin C are water soluble vitamins and so are not stored to any great extent within the body, but are used up quickly in general tissue metabolism and VERY much so when your muscles are growing !!! Therefore, it would be a good idea to try supplementing with extra B-complex and C vitamins in the morning and before sleep, and perhaps before your workout that day. When using high levels of vitamins such as this, remember to take in extra amounts of water / fluids which may come from just drinking water (recommend bottled water) or water used in making brand-name carbohydrate sports drinks and for mixing your creatine with. Consuming a couple of litres of fluid each day may be enough for some, not enough for others. Optimum hydration is required to flush out waste products from the body tissues that lower levels of fluid intake could not accomplish. Train hard and be strong !!!
