I am curious if anyone could provide me with some feedback on some good bodybuilding vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants. I am currently supplementing with-
b6, zinc, magnesium (before bed)
r-ala
calcium
potassium, vit c and e (post workout)
tuarine (post workout)
glutamine
BCAAs
If anyone knows of any other good ones, please let me know. Thanks!

#1 - invest in a good multivitamin...i didn't see it in the list, and it's often not mentioned...but IMO it's a must. Next to that, i like vits C & E, glutamine and bcaa's if you're cutting, zma (i'm not sold on if it works, but i tend to sleep better...). Calcium is good, if you're not getting enough in your diet. I personally include milk and cottage cheese aplenty in mine, so most days i feel my calcium level is high enough...

and my favorite supplement...food, food and more food! ;)

make sure your calcium is calcium citrate or calcium carbonate as these are the most absorbable forms of calcium. Multi is a must and make sure your vit C is in seperate doses, as it is water soluble. Vit C has anti-catabolic effects due to its immune strengthening properties. 2-3 doses of 1000mg eahc should be suffice. When I am cutting I take 4000-6000mg daily.Everything else looks good.

Vitamin E is an anti-oxidant also good for circulation it seems to make me more vascular, I like to throw in some glucosamine-chondroitin for my joints but looks like everything has already been covered.

Whatcha gonna do brother........
