Post Workout Vitamins Explained - Vitamin Injections London

Post-Workout Vitamins Explained

Maintaining a dedicated exercise routine is tough. Whether you’re trying to lose weight or build muscle mass, achieving your goals demands discipline and resilience. It also goes without saying that a successful fitness regime requires the right nutritional support, particularly after gym time has ended.

A good reason for this is that an intense workout session can leave your muscles feeling sore. You might find it difficult to make a regular habit of exercising and may ultimately view your regime as unsustainable. This is one of the many reasons why fitness enthusiasts integrate vitamin supplementation into their daily timetables.

How vitamins support exercise

Vitamins play a huge role in supporting your exercise efforts, making the time spent in the gym more productive and worthwhile. The use of high-quality vitamins can increase stamina, endurance and improve your ability to perform more strenuous forms of exercise.

Before we list the best post-workout vitamins, let us delve a little deeper into the negative impact of low vitamin intake.

What are the potential consequences of low vitamin intake?

Both during and after the gym, the body’s demand for vitamins increases. Throughout this time, it utilises a greater amount of nutrients in order to complete an intense workout. We may feel exhausted afterwards, as the body’s energy stores have depleted at a faster rate than usual. This should be motivation enough to ensure your body receives an adequate supply of vitamins in-between workouts so that you can avoid fatigue and get much more out of your workouts in the long run.

Since the muscles and ligaments in our bodies undergo minor tears and injuries when under physical duress, a greater supply of proteins and vitamins are needed to repair the damage. A low vitamin intake undoubtedly reduces the body’s ability to do this, which can negatively affect your workout and heighten the risk of injury, pain and inflammation.

The right vitamins support the body’s natural efforts to repair tissue at a faster rate. Without additional supplementation, dreading your gym sessions or skipping them altogether could become a significant barrier towards progress.

Advantages of vitamin injectables and supplements after exercising

Whether you’re a gym devotee or are just starting your fitness journey, we advocate injectable vitamins to help you derive the following benefits:

  • An increase in stamina
  • A faster healing process
  • An increase in overall energy levels
  • Higher levels of endurance
  • Avoidance of breaks in your workout regime

Recommendations

Vitamins play a vital role in supporting the metabolic activities of the body at the cellular level. They contribute to the formation of new cells that replace the cells damaged during workouts.

The following is a list of the best post-workout vitamins you can use to improve your physical condition and stamina:

Vitamin C and B are considered ‘all-rounder’ vitamins that play a critical role in improving energy levels. Vitamin C is also a necessary component in collagen synthesis, which means it improves muscle strength and results in a better physical condition.

Vitamin Bs increase energy levels and prevent post-workout fatigue. They also improve the metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins – ensuring the body receives an adequate supply of energy both during and after workout sessions.

Vitamin D is needed by the body to strengthen bone mass, improving bone density so that it can better support strenuous activities. In combination with calcium, vitamin D also helps the body build muscle at a more rapid rate.

How vitamins help the body to recover

Taking vitamins in the form of transcutaneous supplements, or as intravenous/intramuscular injections, is considered a fast-working way to ensure your body receives an optimal amount.

Vitamins have natural antioxidant properties that protect muscles, bones and ligaments against inflammation and damage. They act as natural anti-inflammatory agents, protecting the cells against inflammation and free radical damage, and they support recovery from gym sessions.

Vitamin injections deliver nutrients directly into the bloodstream by skipping the process of digestion. Making vitamins readily available to the muscles and bones in high or ‘megadose’ quantities enables you to get the most out of your fitness activities.

At Vitamin Injections London, we offer high-quality post-workout vitamins with dosages and combinations that can be tailored towards your specific requirements. Our specialist-lead therapies prevent post-workout fatigue and leave you feeling energetic even after exercising.

If you work out regularly or are planning to kickstart a new regime, consider weekly post-workout vitamin infusions to obtain more gratifying results and feel your best from the inside out.
