Q. What supplements can I suggest for athletes to take?
A. When it comes to sports nutrition, nutrients essential for recovery are crucial for the hard-charging athletes. Antioxidants are an important part of muscle recovery. Also important is muscle rebuilding, which is assisted by protein. An excellent sports nutrition program would include:
Sports 30:This specially formulated Daily Vitality Pack supplies an abundance of balanced, high-potency nutrients that are in high demand during periods of physical activity. In addition to our exclusive Formula IV Plus, each packet contains: Liver + C, a traditional source of energy-related nutrients, Vitamin E for antioxidant protection, B-vitamins for energy production, and vitamin C and bioflavonoids to aid immunity and nutrient absorption.
Antioxidants: Immune system health is needed for everyone, especially athletes, as playing hard and exposure to the elements can really wreak havoc on the immune system. PhytoDefense, Vitamin E Plus, and one of our excellent vitamin C products (Powdered C, Super C, or All-C) can help boost immune power immensely, plus aid in muscle recovery.
Protein: Athletes work their muscles hard, therefore muscle rebuilding is an important factor to consider when choosing products for athletes. Super Ease is an excellent protein product, and well loved by many athletes. GR2 Control Meal Replacement Protein Drink would also be a good protein choice with athletes that are restricting calories.
Digestion: Athletes tend to eat more than the non-athletes, which could make digestion a problem. Beta-Gest and Enzyme Digestive Aid are two great digestive products, and not only aid digestion, but also assist nutrient utilization.
Finally, another product to consider adding to a sports nutrition program is Vitality Aloe Vera Plus. Athletes are under extreme stress, and a refreshing drink of Aloe Vera Plus in the evenings can help in the relaxation process after a grueling training day. After all, an athlete needs rest, too!
