Why should you supplement your diet with vitamins and minerals in concentrated form?

Vitamins and minerals are essential micronutrients, without which practically none of the vital body processes could take place and without which you would not be able to survive for long - and certainly not be able to build muscles or achieve any athletic and physical performance. This goes so far that even a deficiency of a single vitamin or mineral can severely affect your health and performance - and in extreme cases, negate much of your efforts during training.

With very few exceptions, your body cannot produce these vital substances itself, which means that you have to take them from your food - or in the form of supplements. We often hear from nutritionists that a healthy and balanced diet is completely sufficient to cover the vitamin and mineral requirements - and in theory they are right.

Unfortunately, the reality is different. A considerable part of the population suffers from a vitamin deficiency, for which there are a number of reasons. In addition to a significantly increased need in physically active people such as bodybuilders and (recreational) athletes, an insufficient vitamin and mineral intake through food is one of the main reasons.

Hand on heart: who really eats a balanced diet every day and regularly eats a wide range of vitamins and minerals? Even the so often propagated "clean" bodybuilding diet, which for many consists of broccoli, turkey, rice and protein powder may be perfect as far as macronutrient intake is concerned - but from the point of view of vitamin and mineral intake, it represents the perfect recipe for deficiency symptoms of all kinds due to the extremely one-sided diet without variety. And let's not even get started on the fact that modern foods usually contain only small amounts of minerals and vitamins due to their long storage and heavy processing...

The vitamin and mineral matrix

And this is where the vitamin and mineral matrix of Vitamins Sport Complex comes into play. This sophisticated blend of vital nutrients, specially formulated to meet the increased vitamin and mineral needs of athletes and other physically active people, is something like your insurance policy against any vitamin and mineral deficiencies and all their devastating effects on your health, athletic performance, and muscle building: if you're deficient in certain vitamins and minerals, it will perfectly complement your diet, and if you're getting enough vitamins and minerals in your diet, it won't hurt. So you can only win.

Of course, a vitamin and mineral supplement is no substitute for a healthy and balanced diet, but it can be worth its weight in gold if everything is not perfect nutritionally.

The Enzyme and Immune Complex of health-promoting plant extracts and supporting co-factors.

The Enzyme and Immune Complex includes a blend of high potency plant extracts and co-factors that have a host of health promoting properties that include positive effects on cholesterol- blood lipid levels, reduced risk of cardiovascular disease, reduced risk of diabetes and more.

In addition, many of these ingredients, just like vitamin C and vitamin E, have strong antioxidant properties and can neutralize dangerous free radicals that can seriously damage both the genetic material of your cells and your muscle cells. This is crucial for hard training athletes, as during intense physical exertion, energy metabolism inevitably produces very large amounts of free radicals (6), which can seriously affect your athletic performance and recovery (7).

Which target groups can particularly benefit from the use of the vitamin Sport Complex

• Hard training athletes and physically active people who have a greatly increased need for vitamins - especially B vitamins.
• Vegans and vegetarians, since certain vitamins such as vitamin B12 and minerals are not found at all or only in insufficient amounts in plant foods (8).
• Dieting athletes and non-athletes who consume insufficient amounts of foods rich in vitamins and minerals due to a greatly reduced calorie intake.
• Smokers, as they have an increased need for certain vitamins including vitamins C and E (9, 10).
• Strength athletes who consume raw eggs in "Rocky" fashion, as raw eggs contain adivin, which inhibits the absorption of biotin (11).
• Anyone who does not eat a 100% perfectly balanced diet.

Why "high dose" is not the same as "high dose

If you look around on the market, you will see on the one hand a lot of vitamin and mineral products that contain only the officially recommended daily requirement of the most important vitamins and minerals and are insufficient for hard training athletes and other people with increased vitamin needs.

These products are opposed by other products that contain insanely high dosages of certain key vitamins and are supposed to be the non plus ultra for every athlete. If you think such products are great, we have bad news for you! Severe overdoses of fat-soluble vitamins such as vitamins A and D are toxic and harmful to health, as these vitamins accumulate in the body (1, 2).

And you've probably also heard that you can't overdose on water-soluble vitamins because excess amounts of these vitamins are simply excreted in the urine. Far from it. For example, an overdose of B vitamins B1 and niacin - vitamins that many manufacturers like to give extremely high doses of - can lead to nerve damage (3), liver damage and jaundice (4), among other things, in the long term.

We have spent a great deal of time and energy in our Vitamins Sport Complex, taking into account the available scientific literature, to put together a vitamin and mineral matrix that perfectly treads that fine line between potential deficiency and harmful overdose that does more harm than good.
