The Best Vitamins For Athletes

PLEASANT HILL, Ore. - July 28, 2014 - PRLog -- It’s widely know that vitamins and supplements help to provide additional health benefits for people outside of what a regular diet can give us. However, it often gets confusing what vitamins people need, or where they should go to get them. This is important for many young athletes in particular. Whether you are a middle school cross-country runner or LeBron James on the basketball court, what you put in your body is very important.

If you are able to get all the supplementation you need you are able to perform significantly better then if you body not being fed properly. Many of the vitamins that an athlete should focus on are not necessarily for getting energy and performing better, but what the proper vitamins do is make food turn into energy and help the person’s body function at peak performance.

The important vitamins for the athlete are Vitamin B1 (Thiamine), Vitamin B2 (Riboflavin), Vitamin B6, and Biotin. What Thiamine is able to do is help breakdown protein and carbohydrates for the body and convert it into energy. Riboflavin is more for creating red blood cells and keeping the health of those cells in good shape.

Vitamin B6 helps your body metabolize food better and increase the production of energy and protein in red blood cells. As an athlete, if you do not have the proper levels of this in your body, it can hurt your performance significantly. And let’s be real, as an athlete, that isn’t any fun.

This brings us to the last vitamins we are taking a look at, Biotin. Biotin is awesome for increasing energy production in the body. Without Biotin, basically your body becomes like a car without gas, it’s not going anywhere. However, with the proper amounts of Biotin in your body, you can get maximize your energy and develop significant stamina in whatever sport you participate in.

This leads us to the next question of where are you able to get all these vitamins that you need as an athlete? Well, almost every grocery store and supplement company in the United States provides these vitamins. The only problem is that you have to purchase many of these vitamins separately, and they are kind of expensive. However, there is an alternative.
