Vitamin Recommendations for A Healthly Lifestyle

Everyone who starts working out seems to have the mindset that they must buy supplements in order to achieve their desired physique.  I have experienced multiple supplements such as 17-HD, which is a pro-testosterone, and yes they do work and they do aid in achieving your goal faster.  The problem with this is they are not natural substances that your body produces; this in the long run will harm you even though you have positive short term effects.  Keep in mind, like every supplement, you must take it consistently for it to take the full effect.  This concept applies directly to vitamins as well.  I have been taking vitamins instead of supplements for the past six months.  I have never felt better and I give credit not only to these vitamins but to the complimentary healthy lifestyle that I lead.  Read my next blog for some examples of my workouts. Here is a list of vitamins one can take in order to achieve overall better health:

  • Fish Oil: this vitamin is proven to aid in cardiovascular health and better ones vision and memory, as well as an omega-3 fatty acid
  • Flaxseed Oil: Flaxseed oil is once again another source of omega-3 fatty acids and a good source of lignans, which play a part in the well-being of the body.
  • Glucosamine (preferably with Chondroitin): Glucosamine is a amazing for joint support.  If you are active in any sport, this is will help prevent joint injury.  WARNING: If you are allergic to seafood, i would check with your doctor before you take this because its source is shellfish
  • Any sort of Multivitamin: a multivitamin contains a great deal of vitamins in itself that is advised that we consume these daily
