 What are the best vitamins and herbal supplements for building muscles and physical strength?
America Da Beautiful asked:
I know these days with the busiest of schedules it is very difficult to work up to anything greater than a meager muscle. With that said not taking vitamins and herbs can be considered a fight against the workout. With the helping hand of vitamins and herbs what are the best to take for building muscles and physical strength? Also, please don’t say that Mormons aren’t allowed to build muscles because I always get that and it seems that there is a precedent for everything in Mormon doctrine. I therefore ask this question as a human being and not from a Mormon perspective. |

Taking care of your body through the proper exercise, a well-balanced diet and a stress-free mind all contribute greatly towards keeping healthy and building a good set of muscles.
Vitamins -
Additional supplementation may be necessary to reach optimal levels of antioxidants, including vitamins A, C (ascorbic acid), and E.
Aim for 1,000 mg of C, 200 to 400 mg of E, and 10,000 IU of A (best in the form of beta-carotene).
Bodybuilding requires the most protein, sometimes as much as 300 g per day, which is difficult to manage through meals alone.
(The body can only absorb about 35 g at one meal.) So bodybuilders and athletes who need to rebuild muscles after intensive training often turn to protein supplements, especially whey protein. Virtually fat-free, whey protein provides immune system support as well as essential muscle-building amino acids.
Improved performance means more energy and endurance, and that translates into a diet that provides complex carbohydrates w brown rice, whole wheat, oatmeal, unrefined flours, and fruits and vegetables. Carbohydrate supplements are available in a variety of forms, including bars, powders, and gels. For best results, consume high-carb supplements about an hour before working out.
Herbal boosters-

One of the most popular non-herbal supplements in the athletic arena is creatine, a natural occurring amino acid produced by the kidneys and liver which is stored in the muscle cells as creatine phosphate or phosphocreatine.
Pyruvate, a metabolic compound that’s also found in red wine, cheese, and red apples, has more than 25 years of research to back up its claims as a fat burner that also creates lean muscle mass and increases endurance by as much as 20 percent.
L-glutamine. The most commonly occurring amino acid in muscle tissue is L-glutamine. Exercise increases our need for glutamine - especially heavy-resistance weight training — and supplements have been found to build muscle mass and help with loss of body fat. Dosage recommendations vary widely, so follow the directions on the product you purchase.

I found this when researching a certain BYU professor named John Heinerman. He’s written quite a few small books or large pamphlets, one titled “Joseph Smith Health Foods”.

What is the Acai Berry?
The acai berry (pronounced “ah-sigh-ee”) is a small grape-size berry that is found in the Amazon Rainforest of Brazil. People of the land have cropped this fruit as part of their meals for hundreds of years.
The wanted acai fruit is just 10% of the actual berry. The other 90% consists of the pit. The acai berry is cropped by the 1000s and put through a process that splits the pulp from the seed to create a thick, edible puree.
Although the acai berry is well-known in Brazil, only recently has its popularity spread to USA. Doctors, scientists, nutritionists and countless media outlets go on about its many nutritional qualities and health benefits
This recent boost of interest in the acai berry has been aided by Bestselling writer and anti-aging expert Dr. Nicholas Perricone who has pronounced the fruit as the “Number one super food in the world” in his book “The Perricone Promise” and in appearances on TV shows such as Oprah.
Calling the acai berry “the number one super food in the world” might sound like a stretch, but this view is not unfounded. The little berry is packed with an amazing amount of free-radical fighting antioxidants and is considered to have the best overall nutritional value of any fruit on earth.

Acai Berry Weight Loss
Not only is acai berry replacing wheatgrass as the new health trend, it also seems to be the newest fad diet as well. Big businesses are starting to understand what a huge discovery acai berry is and investing on it with carefuly marketed diet supplements. While many of these diet claims are exaggerated, the acai berry has been scientifically proven to contain several important ingredients that help in boosting the metabolism, suppressing appetite, and building muscle tone.
I WILL ADMIT… ACAI BERRY IS AWESOME AND WORKS WELL AND WHEN I SAY DONT ORDER ACAI BERRY, I MEAN DONT SPEND MONEY YOU DONT HAVE TO!
