Athletic Performance And Nutritional Support by:Jana Mitcham
Whether you are a professional athlete, in the little league
, or a 3 day a week jogger: your athletic endeavors require nutritional support. Athletic performance makes certain physiological demands on your body: a) demands that require and drain energy b) demands that stress bones, muscles and joints c)demands that stress literally every organ and system of the body
That is why it is so critical to maintain daily nutritional support and "special" nutritional support for performance day. For those not engaged in regular physical activity, refer to the respective AutoShip regimen: either the "Men", "Women" or "Children's",
Vitamark has certain products to meet athletic needs. The following regimens are designed to enhance athletic performance and promote good health. Their primary purpose is to provide maximum hydration, sustained energy release. a good essential fatty acid source so that an athlete doesn't eat a "fatty diet" trying to build fat stores for that important energy release and to provide nutrients to protect the joints, bones, muscles and immune function.
