Jan 28, 2004 10:42 AM | | ok, i don't mean of supplement as EPO or other illegal crap banned by USADA but i've read in some article that it is impossible for a racer to take all necessary nutrients just from food and therefore there's a need to consume supplements. but just exactly what would/have you been using? i know there's a whole isle of supplement at your neightborhood safeway but it's really cofusing because there are way too many of them. thanks in advance! |

Jan 29, 2004 1:10 PM | | If you watch your diet you don't really need anything, but I personally use whey protein to supplement my daily protein intake. You could just eat a can of tuna instead, but tuna for breakfast is not my cup of tea. I also have been taking a good multi or a b-complex tab, 1000-1500mg of vitamin c a day, as well as glucosamine chondrointin for join health. l-glutamine occasionally after a hard workout to recover a bit better. |

Jan 29, 2004 5:48 PM | | IMHO: I'd add 400IU of Vitamin E. Helps with muscle repair after a gard workout. Knock on wod, I don't have the joint issues (yet), but the Glucosamine / chondroitin is supposed to work based on what makes any claim true; double blinded clinical trials which have been reviewed by peers. |
