Sport Vitamins
Why are vitamins important for athletes?
When we do sports, we use a lot of energy. The more strenuous the sport, the more energy is needed. For this reason, it is important to ensure a sufficient supply of nutrients and fluids. Furthermore, an adequate supply of minerals and vitamins is important. Because of this all athletes should pay attention to a healthy and balanced nutrition. It does not matter whether you are a recreational, competitive or professional athlete: a balanced nutrition is important for everyone.
Supplementation of vitamins and minerals is often useful for supplementation and prevention. However, before you start supplementing, you should ask your doctor for advice.
Increased need for vitamins and minerals
Why is there an increased need for vitamins in the first place? When we exercise, we sweat more. When we sweat, we not only lose fluids, but also important minerals. In addition to a lack of minerals, athletes can also suffer from a lack of vitamins. A large number of vitamins play an important role in our body's energy metabolism. Furthermore, sports put a lot of strain on the muscles. In order for the muscles to grow and heal, our body needs minerals and vitamins in sufficient quantities.
