Sport DIRECT u2013 Nutrient Blend for Athletes, No Water Needed
Physically active people burn more calories than those who aren’t, and exertion increases the body’s turnover of not just energy-yielding nutrients like carbohydrates, but also minerals, trace elements and vitamins u2014 sometimes called the “spark plugs of metabolism.” Depending on the type, duration and intensity of activity, more of these nutrients get used and lost through sweat, particularly magnesium, iron, zinc, chromium, manganese, molybdenum and water-soluble B-vitamins.
- Magnesium supports normal energy metabolism, muscle function, and electrolyte balance.
- Calcium is needed for normal bone maintenance and supports normal blood clotting.
- Chromium supports normal macronutrient metabolism and maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
- Iron plays a role in red blood cell formation and normal oxygen transport, and contributes to normal energy metabolism.
- Copper supports normal iron transport and helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Manganese contributes to normal connective tissue formation.
- Zinc supports normal immune function, which can be especially taxed by physical activity.
- Selenium helps protect cells from oxidative stress.
- Vitamin B1 supports normal energy metabolism and normal heart function u2014 athletes typically consume more carbohydrates and so have higher B1 needs.
- Vitamin B2 also supports normal energy metabolism.
- Vitamin B6 plays a role in normal protein metabolism, relevant with higher protein intake.
- Vitamin B12 supports normal red blood cell formation and cell division.
