In endurance sports, it can all come down to the fine margins. As much as a balanced diet, quality sleep and hydration help when it comes to sporting performance, from time to time you may still need a little bit of help to keep your body in check.
Vitamins & Supplements are an easy addition to your daily routine which can help give you a better chance to prepare and recover for your sporting challenges so you can maximise your training and performance.
We’ll take you through a few of the go-to Vitamins & Supplements from Science in Sport, detailing what the product is and how it can help you.
Daily Multivitamin
On top of managing a job, caring for others, and maintaining social lives it’s no wonder people don’t always find the time to cook a healthy nutritious meal, that’s where a Daily Multivitamin can come in handy. Packed with 7 essential vitamins & minerals that meet your recommended daily allowance (RDAs) the Daily Multivitamin covers the basics to help ensure you can function optimally, whether that be for work, education, or sport.
Vitamin C
In light of the COVID-19 pandemic, we are much more self-aware of the things we can do to avoid and fight off illnesses – Vitamin C is vital in helping your body do that. With a dose well above the RDAs Vitamin C helps boost and maintain the normal function of the immune system during and after intense exercise, which is crucial in particular during the recovery period helping you ensure you’re ready to go again.
Vitamin D3
Lockdown restrictions, working/training indoors, and extreme temperatures can push people to remain inside for most of the day, or cover up against the elements. This can contribute to an increased chance of Vitamin D deficiency. A deficiency here can lead to excessive fatigue, tiredness which in turn affects recovery and your general wellbeing. Supplementing with Vitamin D3 is an easy way to help ensure you avoid those potential symptoms and facilitate the normal functioning of your immune system, as well as aiding muscle repair and help with concentration, vital in the lead up to race day and performance on the day itself.
This is just a snapshot of some of the core Vitamins & Supplements Science in Sport offers to help ensure your body functions at an optimal level so you can perform at your best. To find out more information and see their full range from Joint Care, Digestion through to Sleep – click here.
