Supplements
Vitamin D3
Vitamin D is produced in the skin during exposure to the sun. Vitamin D3 also appears in small amounts in certain animal-based foods. Unfortunately, a shortage can occur when insufficient amounts of vitamin D from nutrition or sunlight are gained. Two important functions in which Vitamin D3 plays a role are the maintenance of strong bones and teeth, and the immune system.
Magnesium
During training a lot of sweat is lost. This way several minerals, including magnesium, can be lost. A shortage of this mineral can be supplemented. One of the most important advantages of magnesium is the improvement of recovery. Magnesium also encourages an efficient oxygen consumption, which causes a more productive training. Furthermore, magnesium increases the absorption of various vitamins and minerals and has a relaxing effect. In short, magnesium is essential during regular training.
Fish oil
Unlike two centuries ago, the ratio between Omega-3 and Omega-6 has been disturbed in today’s diet. Therefore, it is important to supplement Omega-3 from fish oil. Fish oil is essential for athletes. Next to its anti-inflammatory effect and stimulation of oxygen transport, fish oil has numerous other roles. In particular fish oil encourages a good blood circulation, healthy joints and it supports the brain function. Moreover, fish oil has positive effect on the eyesight, the structure of the cell membrane, the skin and a normal functioning of the liver.
