At my gym yesterday I was talking to a personal trainer about recovery from strength training and muscle recovery in general. He recommended taking Vitamin E (400-800 IU), Vitamin C (2000-5000mg), Alpha Lipoic Acid (25 mg 3x per day), Turmeric (1 teaspoon per day), L. Glutamine (3-5g per day), and Glycerin (3 teaspoon per day). He told me I would be amazed at how fast my muscles recover from hard workouts if I start taking these supplements. However, I do not want to start taking all of this stuff without gathering more information first. Is this an extreme amount of supplements to take, or is this normal for endurance athletes? Thanks for reading.
