Take THESE 4 Vitamins in the Morning to Rebuild Muscle – But Avoid These 2 | Dr Sam Senior Health Tips Morning matters. After 60, your muscles rebuild best when the right nutrients show up right when your day starts. In this episode, Dr. Sam shares 4 vitamins to take in the morning to support muscle repair, energy, balance, and circulation—plus 2 supplements to avoid early because they can make you sluggish or throw off your rhythm. What you’ll learn (fast): The 4 a.m. allies: Vitamin C, Vitamin B12, Vitamin D3, and Omega-3 with Vitamin E (why each helps, exact timing, practical doses, senior-friendly food pairings). 2 to skip in the morning: Magnesium (better at night for relaxation) and Melatonin (morning use disrupts your clock). A simple breakfast routine to improve strength, steadier walking, and less afternoon fatigue. Quick start: With breakfast → Vitamin C (250–500 mg), B12 (250–500 mcg, methylcobalamin), D3 (1,000–2,000 IU with fat), Omega-3 (≈1,000 mg EPA+DHA) + Vitamin E (100–200 IU). Evening → Magnesium (if you use it). Melatonin only at night if advised by your clinician. General advice only; check with your clinician if you take anticoagulants, have kidney issues, or manage chronic conditions. 👉 Subscribe & Tap the Bell 🔔 for weekly, science-backed Senior Health Tips to stay strong, steady, and independent after 60. ⌛Timestamps: 00:00 - Intro 02:40 - Vitamin should take in the morning No.4 06:35 - Vitamin should take in the morning No.3 10:40 - Vitamin should take in the morning No.2 14:55 - Vitamin should take in the morning No.1 19:55 - Vitamin to avoid in the morning No. 2 20:47 - Vitamin to avoid in the morning No. 1 ---------------------------------------------------- 📌 Sources & Research Journal of Gerontology, Series A (2019) — Higher vitamin C status linked with better grip strength and physical performance in older adults.
