Things Which You Will Need to Remember.

• ZMA’S and dairy products don’t go that well together as you may find digestive discomfort if you mix both in your system.
• If you are planning to take a ZMA supplement which contains Melatonin then take the supplement right before you go to bed as you will fall asleep quickly.
• Yes ZMA’s are found to increase testosterone levels in men but only in men having zinc and magnesium deficiency if your body already has enough amount of zinc and magnesium you might find no substantial increase in your testosterone levels but yes ZMA will help you with your sleep.

Finally, remember that ZMA’S are supplements and like any other supplements they can’t work without a strict diet and workout plan.

As a bodybuilder, your main focus is always on proteins for building those rippling muscles.

You consume protein before you hit the gym and for breakfast.

Your pre-workout session definitely includes creatine.

You keep Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) handy while you train.

You take glutamine post workout. You also consume casein protein shake before hitting the bed.

You have covered everything right. Wait!

There is one set of micronutrients you might have missed.

Vitamins

Vitamins are essential for the proper functioning of your body especially when you spend hours at the gym chiseling your body.

Your body is not capable of producing all the vitamins. Hence, you depend on vitamin supplements to complement your diet.

Multivitamins or simply multis are the most commonly used supplements in the world.

There are as many as 90,000 vitamins and other dietary supplements sold in the US alone.

As a bodybuilder, you not only need multivitamins but other supplements which could improve your overall health.

Source: Council for Responsible Nutrition (CRN)

While multis may not directly help in building body, they are essential for your overall well being.

As a result, multis should form an important part of your repository.

In this article, we will see the health benefits of multis, minerals and other supplements that are essential for bodybuilders.

Benefits of Multivitamins in Bodybuilding

Vitamins and minerals are two essential types of micronutrients that your body needs for proper functioning and staying healthy.

You require them only in small quantities. Vitamins are organic and complex molecules.

There are 13 different types of Vitamins, classified into two types.

Water soluble and fat soluble. Vitamin C and all types of Vitamin B fall under the water-soluble category.

These are not stored in the body. Fat-soluble vitamins comprise A, D, E and K which your body stores.

Minerals are inorganic compounds and simple compared to vitamins.

Minerals are classified into a major/macro and minor/trace.

Major minerals include calcium, phosphorus, potassium, sodium, chloride, magnesium, and sulfur.

Trace minerals include iron, iodine, zinc, chromium, selenium, fluoride, molybdenum, copper, and manganese.

Most multivitamins contain a different combination of these vitamins along with other supplements.

See below to know how to read a multivitamin label.

Men and women bodybuilders require different types of vitamins and in varying quantities.

Men and women also need different types of supplements besides vitamins and minerals.

For Men: Saw palmetto supports the prostate. Horny goat weed and DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) support testosterone levels.

For Women: The focus is on skin, hair, and nails. Separate pre-natal multis are available for pregnant ladies.

There are certain terms you will encounter when you look at different products.

Some of these require a detailed explanation for you to understand them.

I have explained three key supplements below.

#1. PhytoNutrient Complex

What are Phytonutrients

Phytonutrients are naturally occurring chemicals produced by plants.

Phytonutrients help plants to defend against insects, germs, bugs and offer protection from UV rays.

Unlike nutrients such as carbohydrates, fats, minerals, and vitamins, phytonutrients are not essential for your survival.

Benefits of Phytonutrients

However, according to United States Department of Agriculture (USDA), phytonutrients have antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties.

Phytonutrients may boost immunity, enhance intercellular communication, repair DNA damage caused by toxins, detoxify carcinogens and some of them affect estrogen metabolism in women.

Scientists have identified thousands of phytonutrient groups.

I have summarized the most common groups and benefits of each group in the below table.

Phytonutrient	Subcategory	Benefits	Food Sources
Carotenoids	Alpha and beta carotenes, Lycopene, Lutein	Heart, cancer (Prostate) and Eye	Tomatoes, carrots, spinach, kale, grapefruit, collard
Flavonoids	Flavones, flavanones, isoflavones, anthocyanins	Cancer and heart	Green tea, apples, grapefruits, legumes, ginger, onions and coffee
Resveratrol	none	Heart increased cerebral flow, cancer, and lungs	Grapes including skin, wine, peanuts, strawberries
Ellagic Acid	none	Cancer	Strawberries, Raspberries, pomegranates, walnut
Phytoestrogens	none	Heart, endometrial cancer, osteoporosis in women	Soy, broccoli, oranges, carrots, legumes
Glucosinolates	none	inflammation, metabolic function, stress responses	Cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, bok choy, Brussel sprouts, kale

#2. Saw Palmetto

What is Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto is a supplement mainly for males.

Saw Palmetto (Serenoa repens) is a type of palm tree native to the US.

The supplement is made from the berry fruit found in the plant.

Benefits of Saw Palmetto

Saw Palmetto is mainly used to enhance prostate health, improve urinary function, supports hair growth, decrease inflammation and may help regulate testosterone levels.

Not all of the uses of Saw Palmetto is supported by science. There are conflicting results from various studies.

For example, a study in China showed that Saw Palmetto may be effective in improving urinary symptoms and inflammation.

However, another unrelated study in the US showed Saw Palmetto may be ineffective in lowering the risk of prostate cancer.

Though Saw Palmetto has been used for centuries and is generally considered safe.

However, there has been isolated cases of side effects such as headache, dizziness, nausea.

If you are a female bodybuilder, I advise you to check with your doctor before consuming Saw Palmetto as it might interfere with your hormone levels.

#3. Enzyme Blend/Digestive Enzymes

What are Digestive Enzymes

The main role of enzymes in your body is to aid in the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids.

The enzymes are secreted by the pancreas and known as proteolytic enzymes or digestive enzymes or proteases or peptidases.

Besides their role in digestion, the enzymes are also thought to reduce inflammation and boost immunity.

Digestive enzyme supplements are available as over-the-counter (OTC) capsules.

The enzymes can be from either a plant or animal source.

The most common enzymes from plant sources are papain and bromelain.

Papain is found in leaves, fruits, and root of papaya plant while bromelain is found in pineapple. Other dietary sources include kiwi fruit, asparagus, ginger, yogurt, kefir.

Benefits of Digestive Enzymes

The main benefits of digestive enzyme supplements seem to be in treating digestive disorders such as Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) and Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD).

Other benefits of enzyme supplements include treatment in cancer, arthritis and muscle soreness.

However, most research conducted on the health benefits of digestive enzymes does not show significant evidence of health benefits.

Many studies are small and poorly designed resulting in conflicting outcomes.
