RiboflavinRiboflavin is involved in energy production in three areas: 1. Glucose metabolism 2. Oxidation of fatty acids 3. Riboflavin is somewhat related to protein metabolism. In fact, there is a strong relationship between lean body mass and dietary riboflavin. One study by Haralambie showed that Riboflavin supplementation improved muscular hyperexcitability (seen in trained athletes). This vitamin may prove to be especially important for athletes. |
Vitamin B12Cobalamine: is also known as vitamin B12 and works in tandem with other B complex to convert glucose to energy; builds muscle tone and promote healthy nerve function.

Vitamin B6Protein metabolism, growth and carbohydrate utilization are all made possible in part by the presence of vitamin B6. Like Thiamine, studies on Pyridoxine in athletic performance show a definite increased need for athletes and possible performance enhancement from supplementation. |
NiacinThis vitamin is involved in nearly 60 metabolic processes related to energy production and ranks high for bodybuilders by virtue of its critical importance in providing training fuel (no train, no gain)! Niacin has also been shown to lower LDL and triglyceride levels (bad cholesterol), and is very effective in raising HDL cholesterol levels good cholesterol). |
Pantothenic AcidPantothenic Acid is found in almost every food; helps convert food to energy, necessary to make red blood cells and important hormones; also known as Vitamin B5. It is required for the metabolism and synthesis of carbohydrates. It also aids in the development of the central nervous system and building important antibodies. |
