1. GLA/Evening Primrose Oil
This
isn't a typo for CLA, I'm talking about the Omega 6 which is like no
other Omega 6 out there. However, GLA is
metabolized very
differently to other Omega 6s and there are multiple reasons why using
GLA is beneficial, this in itself could be an article. Here is a brief
list of benefits to GLA supplementation.
. As GLA evolves into PGE1s (prostaglandins) it can help reduce the impact of inflammation on:
. Cardiac disease
. Autoimmune conditions
There
are a lot of potential pro
inflammatory agents within your diet and lifestyle (training!) which I
feel GLA will help your body cope with, increasing the chances of good
health in the long run.
2. Vitamin D3
This
is especially relevant for those who live in climates which don't get a
lot of exposure to the sun at certain times of the year. Vitamin D3 has multiple benefits however the most
common is the fact that it contributes greatly towards a healthy immune
system. This is VERY important to someone like yourself who is very
active and putting your body under a lot of continuous stress, as you
are ultimately more vulnerable to catching the flu/colds potentially. If
this happens you know too well that it means productive time lost in
the gym. I recommend 5,000 IU/daily
3.
L-Carnitine
L-carnitine
is in my opinion a highly under rated amino acid which can help you
reduce body fat provided your diet supports this goal. It helps by
making your body more efficient in utilizing fatty acids as an energy
source, transporting them to the mitochondria where they can be more
easily processed as expendable energy.
These
are just 3 of many less known supplements
which I feel you need to know about. I'm NOT someone who has people
taking masses of supplements because I don't feel its necessary or
realistic, however I do like supplements which are really well supported
by science and are there to support results through better health!
