What does nutritional supplementation mean in sports?
Dietary supplements are designed to specifically supplement your diet and ensure that your body receives all the essential nutrients in sufficient amounts. They do not replace your regular meals, but rather complement them to ensure an optimal supply of nutrients.
Physical activity, in particular, significantly increases the body’s need for energy and micronutrients. A balanced diet is the foundation, but dietary supplements can be particularly helpful in specifically meeting these increased needs. Especially when it comes to micronutrients that are needed in greater quantities during sports, an adequate supply is crucial for maintaining performance and promoting recovery.
Proteins and Amino Acids: The Key to Building Muscle
Muscles consist largely of proteins, which in turn are made up of amino acids. During intense physical activity, the body’s need for protein increases, as it is essential for building and maintaining muscle mass. A balanced diet that includes protein and all necessary amino acids is therefore essential. Essential amino acids are particularly important because the body cannot produce them on its own. It must therefore obtain them from food. The targeted intake of these essential amino acids—such as those found in Pro Amino MA8 or Pro Protein Vegan, among other products—promotes muscle growth and supports recovery after intense workouts.
Essential Minerals for Active People
Mineral balance plays a key role during physical activity. Through sweating, the body loses not only water but also important minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and calcium. These minerals are crucial for muscle function, maintaining electrolyte balance, and preventing muscle cramps. Our Pro Mineral Complete is specifically designed to help replenish these losses. This mineral complex, containing magnesium, potassium, and calcium, can optimally support your athletic performance.
Energy and Endurance with Carnitine
Carnitine is a key active ingredient for sustainably boosting your energy and endurance during workouts. Carnitine, such as that found in our Pro Carnitin, supports fat metabolism and helps optimize energy production in the cells. This increased energy efficiency helps improve endurance and shorten recovery time after intense workouts. Choline enhances this effect by facilitating the uptake of carnitine into cells and supporting the formation of cell membranes. This makes energy production in the mitochondria more efficient. In addition, the acetyl-L-carnitine in the formula promotes concentration and learning ability, thereby boosting athletic performance—the ultimate solution for greater training efficiency.
Extra Support for Your Athletic Performance
Vitamins in Sports: Essential Helpers
Vitamins, such as those you’ll find in our Pro Dialvit44—a sensible supplement containing valuable plant-based nutrients—are essential for people who are physically active. Vitamin C, for example, supports collagen formation for healthy bones and cartilage, promotes energy metabolism, and strengthens the immune system, which is particularly challenged during physical exertion. B vitamins, particularly vitamins B6 and B12, are equally crucial for energy metabolism and help reduce post-workout fatigue. Vitamin D improves muscle function and, together with vitamin K, supports bone health.
Omega-3 Fatty Acids: Support for the Heart, Brain, and Athletic Performance
Omega-3 fatty acids, such as those found in our Pro Omega Ultra and Pro Omega Vegan, play an important role for physically active people. The polyunsaturated fatty acids EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) and DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) contribute to healthy heart function when consumed at a daily intake of at least 250 mg, which is particularly important during physical exertion. In addition, DHA supports healthy brain function, which improves concentration during training. EPA and DHA also help maintain normal cholesterol levels, which promotes endurance and performance in the long term.
