Athletes need to take the supplements which the rest of the population need, some in higher doses, plus some other supplements which can aid recovery and healing and also may improve performance: Below are some supplement recommendations for athletes:

CellSentials

A good multivitamin/multimineral makes sure that the body has a surfeit of all the nutrients and minerals required to function and to repair damaged tissues. Plenty of antioxidants (vitamins C, E and beta carotene) to neutralise the enormous number of free radicals produced by exercise. Selenium is also essential to help antioxidants function.

Phytonutrients which can encourage the reproduction of mitochondria which create energy inside the cells. Cellsentials helps the mTOR switches inside of the cells to recycle the mitochondria more effectively.

Biomega

Omega 3 fish oils are very important for tissue, joint, ligament and brain health. They keep the tissues supple and also provide improved lubrication in the joints. Biomega has been tested for no toxic Mercury which makes it very unique and safe for use.

MagneCal D

Calcium, magnesium and vitamin D3. Calcium is essential for bone strength, but most people are unaware that it is essential for every muscle contraction. If there is not enough for the muscles the body will take it out of the bones.

Magnesium is essential for athletes because when a muscle relaxes the magnesium moves into the muscle cells. If there is not enough magnesium, the muscles

cannot relax and cramp develops.

Because magnesium is stored inside the cells and not in the blood, blood tests do not give any indication of the magnesium

status and during exercise much magnesium is lost in sweating and breathing.

Proflavanol C

Grape seed extract & Vitamin C. These are nature’s powerhouse antioxidants, and it is wise to take these all the time or at least on the days of hard physical exercise. They also have a powerful and safe anti-inflammatory action.

Procosa

Glucosamine. This complex sugar is an essential building block for cartilage, and good medical studies have shown that taking glucosamine can actually repair

cartilage and reduce pain.

Natural Anti-inflammatories. Many athletes take NSAIDS (Voltaren, Celebrex, VIOX) drugs to ‘aid healing’. In fact, these just mask the inflammatory repair process, and in the long term may well lead to a weakened and damaged joint.

Use natural anti-inflammatories – omega 3 fish oils, grape seed extract and turmeric. The latter has an action similar to the COX2 drugs but is safe and beneficial, and is a very effective treatment for pain.

CoQuinone 100

Co-enzyme Q10. This enzyme is found in the mitochondria, the energy furnaces within the cells, especially the muscle cells. CoQ10 is essential in the process of burning sugars and fats and converting them into energy. CoQ10 levels become lower as we age and also with some drugs, especially the statins. Some athletes supplement with CoQ10 and improve their performance.
