Today we will talk about the Micronutrients aka Vitamins, Minerals, Trace Elements & Organic Acids. Ok, I'm being way too simplistic here but as always, I try to use a non scientific terminology and don't go in to depth in order for the average reader to get the point of what a f4ck I'm trying to say.
After all this is not a chemistry lesson!
Let's start!
Minerals
- Dietary minerals (magnesium, potassium, sodium, zinc, iodine.) are needed in small quantities.
- Macrominerals are needed in larger quantities.
- Microminerals (Trace Elements) include Iron, Cobalt, Iodine, Zinc, Manganese among others and are needed in small quantities.
- Supporters of the biochemical reactions of metabolism.
Vitamins
They are:
- Organic Chemicals that your body requires in small amounts in order to maintain good health.
- Must be obtained from food because most of them can not be synthesized by your body.
- A, B (1, 2, 3, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 12) C (Ascorbic Acid), E (Tocopherol) and many more.
Now in order to obtain these little mofo's you are required to have a balanced nutrition plan and if you're not, you either use GOOD supplements or you are f8cked :-)
Just kidding, but vitamin and mineral deficiency will get you in trouble.
Where to find them micronutrients?
Uuuhm, everywhere? Fruits, Veggies, Water you name it! You can find a hell of an Iron and B vitamin in lean red meat as you can find a shitload of calcium in some veggies.
Now, like I said in my previous post if your diet is poor due to lack of time or you train like there's no tomorrow and you need to supplement your micronutrient intake then by all means do it. But do it sensibly and wisely.
You can find a good selection of supplements over at Predator nutrition (EU but ships to US).
