Vitamin C: Vitamin C is used to build new cells and repair damaged tissue, which makes it one of the most important micronutrients for muscle-building. However, our immune systems will first use what Vitamin C it has to fight free radicals, infection and toxins, apportioning what’s leftover to repair and build muscle tissue. You have to get a heavy dose of it on a daily basis and the Vitamin C in whole fruits and vegetables is much more bio-available than the stuff you get in tablets. Vitamin C is also extremely important to fat-burning. It not only reduces the effects of stress (lowering cortisol) but also is used to create l-carnitine, the compound that carries stored fat to the liver, where it can be turned back into glycogen and burned as energy. By getting all of the antioxidants from lemons, you also reduce overall inflammation because your body has less infection and fewer pathogens to respond to. This further improves muscle recovery times.
