As a result, many people today are not consuming sufficient amounts of these micronutrients to ensure optimum health. Research in the United States has shown that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC3992162\/\">adults are not meeting recommended intake levels<\/a> and that <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2018\/07\/study-shows-almost-no-u-s-college-football-players-get-enough-omega-3s\/\">almost no college football players get enough<\/a>. This is unfortunate as, for anyone who exercises, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov\/pmc\/articles\/PMC6357022\/\">omega-3 fatty acids have multiple beneficial effects<\/a>. These include reducing exercise-induced oxidative stress and inflammation, positive effects on the health of skeletal muscle, increasing the availability of energy, and reducing joint pain.<\/p>\n<p>Other micronutrients can similarly help optimize athletic performance. Reflecting the growing popularity of vitamin D supplements, recent research has shown that higher levels of vitamin D are associated with a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2018\/11\/new-study-finds-higher-levels-of-vitamin-d-associated-with-better-capacity-for-exercise\/\">better capacity for exercise<\/a>. Not surprisingly, therefore, elite athletes are already making use of vitamin D to help <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2016\/01\/elite-athletes-take-vitamin-d-supplements-to-maximize-performance\/\">maximize their performance<\/a>. Micronutrients such as carnitine, coenzyme Q10, vitamin C, and the B group of vitamins are similarly essential for the increased energy production in heart muscle cells that is required for sustained physical endurance.<\/p>\n<p>To learn how use of synergistic combinations of micronutrients can help optimize athletic performance, read <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dr-rath-foundation.org\/2017\/10\/the-importance-of-micronutrients-for-athletic-performance\/\">this article<\/a> on our website.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Researchers at the University of Westminster in the UK have found that taking omega-3 supplements may help to reduce muscle soreness after exercise.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":51330,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[22],"tags":[120],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v22.6 -
