Athletic Nutrients

Athletic Nutrients is designed to support physical training and performance. It is a complete hypo-allergenic, nutrient rich, highly bioavailable multi-vitamin, multi-mineral and trace element supplement. The formula combines superior mineral cofactors, activated vitamins, antioxidants and pH balanced creatine to target endurance, energy and lesson muscle fatigue.*

• Support for athletic training and physical performance

Vitamin/Mineral Distinctions::

• High potency, hypo-allergenic, vegetarian formula.
• Activated vitamins and superior mineral chelates for optimal absorption.*
• Potassium phosphate combined with calcium and magnesium for healthy muscle function.*
• Copper, manganese, selenium and zinc for healthy tendons, ligaments and joints.*

Special Features:EnergizeATP Factors:

• Kre-Alkalyn pH balanced creatine has an enhanced stability profile allowing lower optimal dosing. Research involving endurance athletes and professional athletes indicates that it enhances ATP production and performance in working muscle, as well as lessens muscle soreness due to lactic acid.*
• CoQ10 is a component of the mitochondria and plays a key role in the synthesis of ATP. In a double blind crossover study involving Finnish top-level cross-country skiers, CoQ10 supported physical performance.*
• Krebs cycle intermediate alpha ketoglutarate acts as a key substrate for energy production, helping maximize fat and carbohydrate utilization. Studies have revealed that alpha ketoglutarate may also help muscle protein synthesis and recovery.*

MuscleRestore Complex:

• Lessens muscle soreness and fatigue with n-acetyl-lcysteine (NAC), alpha lipoic acid and l-carnosine. In a placebo-controlled high intensity exercise study, NAC promoted a healthy inflammatory balance and lessened muscle soreness.*

PowerProtect Antioxidants:

• Protects muscles from oxidative stress with PowerGrape, green tea and polyphenols from mangosteen, aai, noni, pomegranate and quebracho extract.*
• PowerGrape promoted plasma antioxidant capacity during competition and supported performance in a randomized, double blind, placebo-controlled crossover trial involving athletes. In another study involving 11 sportsmen, PowerGrape promoted endogenous vitamin C, ubiquinone and reduced glutathione levels.
