I know alot of us train really hard and push our bodies to the limit. Most of the time we stay strict with our diet and supplementation but then you wonder why some nights you just can't get to sleep, or get a good night's rest. You probably have adrenal fatigue from training so hard. Here are some great tips to help you meathead brothers and sisters: 1. Make sure you're taking a quality multivitamin. Most of you probably look over the trace minerals and vitamins, but they come in handy and ALL play a big part of the body functioning well.
2. Take an extra B-Complex (I suggest Jarrow "B-Right") take it in the morning about 15 minutes before your first meal. B vitamins are critical in repairing and maintaining healthy adrenal functions.
3. Vit-D3 with K2. Vitamin D3 is very important for males and can help raise test levels. K2 is taken with D3 because too much D can harden arteries. Take about 2,000-5,000 iu's everyother day in the A.M. with breakfast.
4. Fish oil every day. Omega fatty acids are great for a healthy immune system and proper brain function. Take 1 softgel morning, mid, and evening.
5. Vitamin B12 methylcoblamin. Don't use the cyacoblamin. Methyl absorbs deeper into the brain and promotes better sleep. Take 10,000mcg about 2-4pm. Chew up tab and let it sit under tongue to dissolve and absorb better. (JARROW brand)
6. ZMA. 2-3 pills of ZMA are great and helps calm the nerves and actually help repair muscles through the night. Take serving about 1 hour or so before bed.
7. Pure L-Glutamine. When taken with ZMA before bed, about 3-8 grams will help calm down your nervous system by lowering cortisol levels extremely which cortisol can keep you up. Also, Glutamine promotes Growth Hormone release through the night helpinh you with them GAINS!!!!!!!!
8. Ease up on the heavy stims late in the evening. Caffeine is a love/hate thing when coming to our body functions.
I hope this helps. If you have any questions or input, feel free to post!!!
