Are multivitamins enough?

This is why we round up our menu with food supplementation which can help us get the necessary amounts of vitamins, minerals, carbohydrates, proteins and fats. One of the easiest ways to do so is to choose multivitamin complex which usually contains the basic vitamin and mineral set with some extra active compounds. Sure, they may vary slightly one from the other in the values for certain ingredients or their presence as a whole. Nevertheless, you can expect to find a standard set of ingredients.

 

Are multivitamins enough though? As our bodies aren’t tailored the same they need different ‘fuel’ to run on and while multivitamins are a good start they are far from being the only supplement you can take to protect and nurture your body. In the following article, we would show you some of the other active compounds which in combination with a good sports regime can help you improve your lifestyle, starting today!

 

Creatine - be it the monohydrate or the more bioavailable hydrochloride form this is a great supplement for people who are physically active and wish to go far.

 

L-carnitine - known also as the key substance of most burners is a potent antioxidant. Antioxidants have anti-inflammatory properties as they limit the free radicals thus keeping the organism young, fit and healthy. This can be attributed to its function as a transport of fat to the mitochondria where it is used up as energy.
