Moving in from the first post of this collection, (which is right here -> https://read.cash/@Thremos/supplements-for-everyday-workout-and-beyond-07a899be and covers everyday supplements) I wanted to round out the options you have when it comes to "specializing" your supplements.

Now when I say specializing, what I really mean is taking them for a specific, often acute, or an issue that is specific to you as an Individual. The two types of these supplements we will talk about are for De-stressing, or keeping up with the daily stress in your life, And Athletic performance.

Bundle #2 - Destress & Unwind

This Bundle is looking toward helping replenish your body so it can continue to to handle itself when your life, or time in your life even, often has you in the higher limits of your stress levels. Things like the chemical Cortisol, which is released by your body to tell the body to get ready for stress, for increased blood pressure, for increased nutrient consumption, things like this. When we run out of cortisol, Our body doesn't know to be read, and thats when damage occurs, and stress starts affecting our health.

Vitamin C - is fantastic for immune boosting. When you are experiencing adrenal fatigue (generalized tiredness, depression, emotionally stunted) Your body will not have the sufficient sources for keeping your immune system operational (and in this day and age, that's pretty important!) I think we all understand that we need this! =D

Zinc - this is helpful in athletic performance as well, so It will receive an honourable later too. For stress related reasons, zinc can be taken daily in a low dose to help with immunity. Our White blood cells, (macrophages to be exact) actually need zinc to function properly to protect us from foreign invaders!

One piece of advice for you though, if you are taking it over the long term in amounts of about 50mg a day or more, you might consider taking a copper supplement as well as it will deplete it over time with high use.

B Complex - there are 8 different B vitamins (numbered B1 - B12), they all support the body from Blood to DNA. Specifically, Numbers 1,2,3,6 & 12 all have a support role in the nervous system. Being that the nervous system has a large effect on our response to stress, this is where we want our focus of any B complex to be on B1, B2, B3, B6, & B12

Chlorophyll - I picked up this awesome tip while I worked at a Chiropractic office! I drank this in my water, But you can also get in pill form if you choose. Chlorophyll primarily acts as a detoxification and energy boost. It helps pull toxins of our everyday diets and stress that builds up "free-radicals" (another topic for another time) in our body. While we have the natural ability to get rid of some of these free radicals over time, powerful antioxidants like Chlorophyll help take up the mantel and let our body replenish its natural stores to rebalance itself.

Bundle # 3 - Athletic Performance

This Bundle is aimed towards not just helping you build mass and strength etc. It is also set up to help keep you body strong and resilient to training and everyday wear and tear. So While I would love to talk about BCAA's, we will save that for another time) Right now we are focused on keeping our body fully fuelled and prepared for what we will do with it.

Collagen - Collagen is a natural substance in our body, found in our tendons and ligaments. It is the tough half of these structures (the stretchy half is called elastin), and when it comes to athleticism, it is what we stress with every life, sprint, pull. In order to strengthen ourselves, we need to put stress on these structures. Now to get fascial strength and body tension, you will need to injure these structures to encourage mass, but if you do want mass and raw power, then you will want to supplement this in to ensure that your tendons are strong enough to hold up against your muscles!

Arginine - Arginine is more focused on keep your blood circulation tiptop both during and outside of performance activities. Outside of a workout, Arginine is used to promote generalized cardiac health, and promote blood flow. This in turn helps makes sure that your body is saturated with all the nutrients it needs because there is constantly a big fresh batch flowing by! Inside out a workout, It functions to relax the blood vessels to optimize oxygen flow through the blood to your muscles, as well as reduce overall blood pressure to keep your system safe while you push yourself.

Magnesium - This has a few uses throughout the body. It is also used to help produce a calm feeling during rest and sleep, but we will be talking about its properties towards muscles. I promotes healing for muscles tissues post work out, as well as get used up in a work out to produce energy! It is a very important aspect of athletic health. There is also some research out there about its ability to reduce the amount of lactic acid build up in muscles!

And lastly, Don't forget that Zinc! it will be an aid in cell growth and reproduction to help the healing process post workout!

Remember that all these supplements and bundles are just ways to categorize and makes sense of them. You will know your life better than anyone who hasn't spent five years with you. I encourage you to figure out works best for you, and if you have any questions about what you should be taking, feel free to ask me in the comments!

I use various supplements and vitamins in my diet for both my children and us. Unfortunately, genetically modified products have taken off a lot, we simply have no choice, so we compensate for all the necessary substances that way. By the way, all these supplements are extremely good for everyone who does sports. Very good and useful article. Greeting

I guess i need these supplements.. But isn't it better if you get them from natural foods.. Sometimes those bottled supplements are not effective and just a waste of money..

haha well just to be devils advocate, there is literally something in every category (electronics, diapers, car tires ) that some of the. products are not worth the money. so yes i agree with you some of them are not worth the price. but some are!

Ideally you would want to get your itnake of all these things from a full and natural diet, yes! The problem we have with that is a long winded conversation. But we can start with something as simply as: human brains are best at recognizing and intimately responding with about 150 people. This is about how big our groups were as settlers, and smaller in nomadic tribes.

Fast forward to now, you are talking to me, and your brain is tying to figure out if im worth more attention than just a random passerby, but that takes nutrients and enrgy to figure out. Now we are on a platorm with 30,000 people, our brain is working over time. not to mention all the poeple surrounding us in the physical world. Could you imagine a small city of a 100,000 people ? What about living in a medium city with 2 million people?

Another example is that we all havea natural body shape to us, tht is calculated through our genetic code to predetermine what type of stores, capacity for power, fast twitcha nd slow twitc msucel fibers, etc. Now we are working out, sitting at desks or in cars for long perioids of time, our bodies are no longer using our natural shape. I for instance, am rough 185lbs and about 12% body fat. That is not good for surviving the winter, anad it is an unneeded amount of muscle and strength for my everyday. But I push my body farther, so i need more murtirents an energy.

so yes you could absolutly try to eat 2 whole chickens, an entire head of purple cabbage, fistfuls of cilantro and eating oranges as your only sugar intake to ensure you get vitamin c, on and on.

another option is to use products that are synthetically produced but carry the saem qualityies (we are not talking butter and margerine -saturated vs unsaturated- I mean having the same chirality, etc. These ensure that while some of us are demanding more than the natural amounts from our bodies, that we can supply them.

It's like you have made another article here 😅😅 long explanation.. I knoe that.. That is why they are called supplements because we can not get all nutrition that we need through foods we take.. But in my case, i hve lactose and gluten intolerance. Many supplements contain those substances.. That is the reason why i don't really buy supplements.. And better get it from my foods...thanks for the info btw

Very interesting read as always. Liked and even bookmarked for future reference.

Would you say that it is necessary to take vitamin C as a supplement? Or asked in a different way: How many oranges a day would I need to eat to keep the supplement away? 😅
