7 vitamins and amino acids that you need to supplement during training
This is a concern especially for beginners who hope that vitamin preparations will accelerate their dream effects. Not all vitamins are worth taking, but some definitely pay off – learn about 7 vitamins and amino acids that are worth using during training.
Vitamin C
It is very important not only for immunity, but also for athletes. It participates in the production of collagen, which is the main component of connective tissue. In addition, vitamin C inhibits the action of free radicals and improves the absorption of iron, which affects the distribution of oxygen throughout the body and reduces the effects of fatigue.

B vitamins
In this case, we are talking mainly about vitamins B1, B2, B6 and B12 – their demand increases the level of energy. They ensure the proper functioning of the nervous system, and also play an important role in the metabolism of proteins, carbohydrates and fats. In addition, B vitamins are involved in energy metabolism in the body.

Vitamin E
Vitamin E called vitamin of youth, apart from strong antioxidant activity, improves the condition of our skin, hair and nails. It also affects libido. High libido is high testosterone, and high testosterone is increased muscle mass. Vitamin E is fat soluble and stored in the adrenal glands and adipose tissue. For this reason, it should be remembered that a certain amount of subcutaneous fat is necessary for the proper functioning of our body.

Vitamin D3
Vitamin D3 differs from other vitamins. In activity is similar to hormone activity. First of all – it affects the synthesis of testosterone, the most important anabolic hormone. Thanks to this, this compound indirectly affects the growth of muscle mass – and this is the main goal of strength training. Vitamin D3 also supports muscle regeneration.

L-arginine
L-arginine is an amino acid that affects smooth muscle relaxation and decreases blood pressure. It improves the effects of training and increases the body’s resistance to hard training. In addition, its high level in the body affects the synthesis of growth hormone, which translates into larger muscles.

BCAA – three amino acids in one
BCAA amino acids reduce muscle catabolism, so they do not break down and intensify the process of building muscle mass. BCAAs are three amino acids necessary for athletes – valine, leucine and isoleucine. They play an important role because they are a building component of muscle tissue.

L-glutamine
L-glutamine is an amino acid that belongs to endogenous amino acids, which means that it is produced by the human body. Sports supplementation particularly emphasizes its anti-catabolic values, i.e. counteracting the negative effects associated with training, by protecting skeletal proteins against degradation. The benefits of l-glutamine include: reduction of the time needed for post-workout regeneration, increase in strength and muscle mass, increase in endurance and a positive effect on the level of certain hormones.
