Vitamins Sport Complex · 90 capsules

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 body's vital processes could take place and without which you would not be able to survive for long - let alone build muscle or perform any kind of sport or physical activity. This goes so far that a deficiency of even a single vitamin or mineral can severely impair your health and performance - and in extreme cases can negate a large part of your efforts during training.

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

Unfortunately, the reality is different. A significant proportion of the population suffers from a vitamin deficiency, for which there are a variety of reasons. In addition to a significantly increased need among physically active people such as bodybuilders and (recreational) athletes, an insufficient intake of vitamins and minerals in the diet is one of the main reasons.

Hand on heart: who really eats a balanced diet every day and regularly consumes a wide range of vitamins and minerals? Even the frequently propagated "clean" bodybuilding diet, which for many consists of broccoli, turkey, rice and protein powder, may be perfect in terms of macronutrient intake - but from the point of view of vitamin and mineral intake, it is 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 only contain small amounts of minerals and vitamins due to their long storage and heavy processing...

The vitamin and mineral matrix

And this is where the Vitamins and Minerals Matrix from Vitamins Sport Complex comes into play. This sophisticated blend of vital nutrients, specially formulated to meet the increased vitamin and mineral requirements of athletes and other physically active people, is 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 don't get enough of certain vitamins and minerals, it will complement your diet perfectly and if you get enough vitamins and minerals in your diet, it won't do any harm. 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 your diet is not perfect.

The enzyme and immune complex of health-promoting plant extracts and supporting co-factors

The Enzyme and Immune Complex comprises a blend of highly effective plant extracts and co-factors that have a whole range of health-promoting properties, including positive effects on cholesterol and blood lipid levels, a reduction in the risk of cardiovascular disease, a reduced risk of diabetes and much more.

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

Which target groups can particularly benefit from using 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, as certain vitamins such as vitamin B12 and minerals are not found at all or only in insufficient quantities in plant-based 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 a "Rocky" manner, 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" does not equal "high-dose"

If you look around the market, you will see a lot of vitamin and mineral products on the one hand that only contain 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 requirements.

In contrast to these products, there are other products that contain insanely high doses of certain key vitamins according to the motto "a lot helps a lot" 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! Heavy 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, as 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 dose extremely high - can lead to nerve damage (3), liver damage and jaundice (4) in the long term.

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