Meet the true nutritional heroes of the last decade: DHA and ribose. DHA is the active form of omega-3 that helps constitute nerve membranes and keeps the nerves to your muscles firing, as well as helps encase muscles.

You can get DHA in fish oils or from the algae that fish eat. Try getting 600 mg of DHA a day, which is equivalent to 2 grams of fish oil if you like that taste better.
