Important nutrients for physical activity and physical performance that we offer in our range of natural CLEAN LABEL dietary supplements:
Antixidants like vitamin C: Minimize free-radical damage to skeletal muscle, thereby reducing muscle fatigue, inflammation, and soreness. We add vitamin C to almost all of our dietary supplements.
Arginine (amino acid): Increases blood flow and delivery of oxygen and nutrients to skeletal muscle; serves as a substrate for creatine production; increases secretion of human growth hormone to stimulate muscle growth. This amino acid can be found in all of our collagen dietary supplements.
Branched-chain amino acids (leucine, isoleucine, and valine): Can be metabolized by mitochondria in skeletal muscle to provide energy during exercise. Greater gains in muscle mass and strength during training. This amino acids can be found in all of our collagen dietary supplements.
Glutamine (amino-acid): Involved in metabolism and energy production; contributes nitrogen for many critical biochemical reactions. Helps with recovery of muscle strength and reduce muscle soreness after exercise. This amino acid can be found in our product COLLAGEN PREBIOTICS + L-GLUTAMINE.
Iron: Increases oxygen uptake, reduces heart rate, and decreases lactate concentrations during exercise. Iron is an essential mineral that assists in the transport of oxygen from the lungs to the rest of the body. We need sufficient oxygen transport to enable our muscles to execute work. Iron is especially important for athletes due to the high work demands placed on their muscles during training and competition. This important mineral can be found in our dietary supplements with iron.
Protein/collagen: Builds, maintains, and repairs muscle. Protein and collagen can be found in all of our collagen dietary supplements.
Ashwagandha KSM-66®: Is useful against physical exhaustion and to improve speed, lower limb muscle strength and neuromuscular coordination. The herb also contributes to energy, endurance and increased muscle mass during exercise. You can find Ashwagandha KSM-66® in our dietary supplement COLLAGEN - SLEEP & RELAX WITH KSM-66 ASHWAGANDHA®.
Folic acid/folate - Quatrefolic®: Folate plays an important role in making DNA. It plays an important role in red blood cell production and tissue repair. Folate is especially important for athletes, who have a high red blood cell turnover rate due to the stresses of training. Adequate folate status is important both in people playing physical exercise as well as in athletes because it has a direct role in the synthesis of new cells, especially in tissues with rapid turnover, and in the repair of damaged cells and tissues. Quatrefolic® is therefore an important nutrient for people doing physical exercise, athletes, bodybuilders and fitness enthusiasts. You can find vitamin B12, folic acid (Quatrefolic®) and vitamin C all togheter in one dietary supplement.
Vitamin B12 (cobalamin): This vitamin is one of the less well-known vitamins, but is essential for health and normal function. It is particularly important for athletes, as it helps support energy metabolism and is important for blood health: in particular a deficiency can lead to pernicious anaemia. You can find vitamin B12, folic acid (Quatrefolic®) and vitamin C all togheter in one dietary supplement.
Research has shown that ashwagandha may have beneficial effects on athletic performance and may be a worthwhile supplement for athletes.
One analysis of research included 12 studies in men and women who took ashwagandha doses between 120 mg and 1,250 mg per day. The results suggest the herb may enhance physical performance, including strength and oxygen use during exercise (7).
An analysis of five studies found that taking ashwagandha significantly enhanced maximum oxygen consumption (VO2 max) in healthy adults and athletes (8).
VO2 max is the maximum amount of oxygen a person can use during intense activity. It’s a measurement of heart and lung fitness.
Having optimal VO2 max is important for athletes and nonathletes alike. Low VO2 max is associated with increased mortality risk, while higher VO2 max is associated with a lower risk of heart disease (8).
Additionally, ashwagandha may help increase muscle strength.
In one study, male participants who took 600 mg of ashwagandha per day and participated in resistance training for 8 weeks had significantly greater gains in muscle strength and size compared with a placebo group (9).
