Nutritional Supplements Proper use of reputable nutritional aids is a very important factor in optimal performance and continued good health. Far too often the effective use of food supplements has gotten lost in the mass of misinformation and miraculous claims. Studies have shown that many active people have nutritional requirements that cannot be met by diet alone, and supplementation can improve athletic performance.
Especially noteworthy is the fact that women do not consume enough calories to guarantee that even their basic minimal requirements for many vitamins and minerals are met let alone those required for an active lifestyle. | Elaine Youngs |

| Nutritional Supplements: Where to begin? There is so much information about these supplements that it would take a book to give you all the whys and wherefors. So, here I will just list one or two reasons why these supplements are recommended. 80 bio-optimized nutrients clinically proven to create a foundation for a longer, healthier life "enough nutrients to finish the race" 18 vitamins and minerals and essential amino acids gives your muscles a healthy recovery and helps you avoid post-workout pain. Because of the stress on the body, many athletes need to address specific issues including joint health and pain relief: The following are some additional recommendations: The next generation of Vitamin A and Beta-Carotene - needed to absorb and utilize proteins properly and it's a powerful antioxidant. (One of the by-products of energy use is free radicals - "oxidants" - and they can be very damaging to the body) Defends the body against the destructive actions of free radicals and promotes overall cell health strengthens the heart muscle NO drugs, no illegal substances Ultra Pure- Pharmaceutical Grade B-Complex - required to release energy from the food you eat ALWAYS take a "complete" B supplement: your body needs all of them to do the work they do. One of the problems with taking Vitamine B supplements is that the absorption of Folic Acid (one of the B's) is interferred with by the other B's. This specific brand of supplements has invented a solution to this problem. - helps your muscles utilize fatty acids for energy = more endurance. Plus it's an antioxidant! - allows the muscle to receive more oxygen, thus more endurance - plus it's an antioxidant! - involved in over 90 enzymatic systems that can help the athlete - its critical in the manufacture of muscle protein, etc. - can improve endurance and decrease the effects of stress - helps maintain normal muscle contraction and relaxation - reduces "stress fractures" - produces and activates numerous hormones and enzymes vital to athletic performance - low levels of iron are the most common mineral problem in America especially in athletes (Even though blood tests show no deficiency, the deficiency could be in the tissues. Consider a short experiment: supplement and see if you notice a difference.)
