Are Amino Acid Supplements Advisable During Heavy Workouts?
Question: can I take amino acid supplement as I am doing daily heavy workout and is it also helps to prevent grey hair.
Brief Answer:
Amino acid supplements are suggested.
Detailed Answer:
Hello, Sir.
I understand your concern.
Yes, absolutely you can take amino acid supplements during heavy work workouts.
They are most needed in your case.
Amino acids help to build muscle mass by increasing critical muscle protein synthesis.
They also help to prevent premature greying of hair.But this has to couple with zinc supplements.
I generally recommend oral tablets of Becozinc to my patients.Please check with your doctor, if he shares my view and can prescribe them to you.
Post your further queries if any.
Thank you.
