didn’t you hear Muscles aren’t just for bodybuilders or gym rats anymore. In fact, a well-shaped body can not only make you look great, but also help you live your best life. Muscles are necessary to help you walk the hiking trail, carry groceries to the car, and keep up with your kids. They can also help you stay active into your golden years. As we age, we lose muscle mass, so it’s even more important for older adults to focus on building and maintaining muscle.

You might think that the only key to building and maintaining muscle is hitting the gym regularly and pumping iron. While strength training (also called resistance training) is a big factor in muscle growth, so is your nutrition. Eating enough protein and (yes!) high-quality carbs will give you the energy and chemical building blocks your body needs to build muscle. Vitamins also play a role in building muscle. If you don’t get enough vitamins, you may have trouble keeping up your strength or feel tired and achy. What are the best vitamins for muscle growth? 

We’re glad you asked! At Lone Star IV Medics, vitamins are kind of our thing and we love to talk about them. Let’s look at three very important vitamins for muscle growth. Then we’ll explain how IV treatment can help you get the vitamins you need to stay strong and thrive.
