Capsules and Tablets
Through a balanced diet, you can usually cover your needs for important vitamins and nutrients. However, intensive training, endurance sports and other physical or mental stress can result in an increased need. On the other hand, a good supply of certain nutrients is particularly important for effective training and athletic success. With dietary supplements in the form of capsules and tablets, you can prevent or correct nutrient deficiencies.
Preparations for increased nutrient requirements
Creatine is particularly interesting for athletes because it increases the performance and resilience of the muscles and increases the ability to regenerate after sport. But it is also important for the functioning of the brain and nerves. The human body normally produces creatine itself in sufficient quantities. However, in the case of special physical or mental stress, the requirement can be higher and an additional intake is recommended. The situation is similar with vitamin D, which is contained in some foods and is also produced by the body itself with sufficient sunlight. However, since these conditions are often not met, many people suffer from a vitamin D deficiency.
Special amino acids for athletes
There are several amino acids that play an important role in various processes in the human body. Some of them your body can produce itself, others you have to take in with your food. When you are under great physical strain due to intensive training, the need for certain amino acids increases and you may become deficient. One example is tryptophan, which is converted into serotonin in the human body. A deficiency leads to sleep disorders. The amino acid beta-alanine is also particularly important for athletes, as a deficiency leads to over-acidification of the muscles. This results in rapid muscle fatigue because the energy supply to the muscles no longer functions properly. Capsules and tablets can help.
