This might be one of the most important supplements that you can take. Vitamin C
has so many benefits for both the bodybuilder and the non-bodybuilder. There have
been hundreds of studies to prove the effectiveness of this supplement so taking this one
on a regular basis is basically a no brainer.
Vitamin C's benefits are varied and will benefit almost everyone. Vitamin C is a
proven anti-oxident. Anti-oxidents are bad in that they minimize tissue oxidation
but they will help in that they control free radicals and the bad effects that they can
cause your body. Vitamin C is also proven to have positive effects on ligament and
protein synthesis. This supplement is also great for collagen formation and protein
synthesis as well. It is noted as being a booster to the immune system as
well. I can't tell you how many times I have felt a cold coming on and just popped a
few extra grams and was able to stave off sickness. Sicktime means no gym time or at
the very least a crappy workout so staying healthy will translate to at the very least
being able to maintain gains or perhaps grow. It is a proven cortisol suppresser
which helps the dreaded testosterone to cortisol ratio. By the way, cortisol is the
bad part of the ratio, so keeping this down means less muscle loss.
