Sport Performance & Nutrition The link between nutrition & sport is now widely recognised & a number of studies have shown the relationship between nutritional intake & its effects on physical activities, whether it is for leisure or for high level performance. Ninety per cent of the 11, 000 athletes in attendance at the Games of the 29th Olympiad 2008 used dietary supplements of some kind, according to the European Specialist Sports Nutrition Alliance (ESSNA). Nutritional status can have an effect on energy release & endurance during sporting activity. Exercise may also increase excretion of certain minerals. The nutritional demands of the body increase dramatically for those with a high level of physical activity Good nutrition should be a key part of any sportman's training program if they are to perform to maximum potential The Wellman range is recommended by world leading athletes & professional sportsmen. Introducing Wellman Sport Offering specific nutrients to meet your daily intake requirements Providing support when working out: Specific micronutrients to help support the body while training, like L-Carnitine & the plant isolate Octacosanol which is often used by athletes to help support a lean body mass. L-Carnitine is used by the body to burn fatty acids into energy & assist in electron transport in cell mitochondria. Octacosanol is believed to perform a number of beneficial actions in the body such as assisting the body's ability to use oxygen which muscles need during exercise to perform & recover. Octacosanol may support muscle function by preventing the build up of lactic acid & increasing the body's ability to store glucose as muscle glycogen. Developed to provide premium nutritional support in sport & fitness Wellman Sport contains antioxidant protection from vitamins C & E, which are thought to be especially important for endurance athletes. This is because antioxidants help protect against the increased production of free radicals generated during exercise. Wellman Sport also contains amino acids L-Arginine & L-Tyrosine. L-Arginine provides the building blocks for proteins, muscle tissue & is ideal for those with hectic lifestyles who want to get the best out of their sports training, while L-Tyrosine is known to help sustain energy release & plays a role in metabolism. Helping to achieve optimum performance Co-enzyme Q10 is required for electron transport, generating energy within cells & also used by the body as an antioxidant. B-complex vitamins help support efficient release of energy from food & help maintain red blood cell formation & muscle function. Wellman Sport also contains other key nutrients including: Siberian Ginseng Extract: Traditionally used for many years as an herbal adaptogen to maintain vitality & may help support physical & mental performance. Siberian Ginseng is approved for use & is not contraindicated in sport. Vitamin E (natural source): Antioxidant that can also help maintain tissue health. Vitamin C: Important to help protect against the free radical damage in skin cells & to maintain a healthy immune system. B Vitamins: Involved in protein & energy metabolism. Iron: Present only in moderation as men have lower requirements than women & high levels are not recommended. Iron is a vital part of haemoglobin found in red blood cells. Magnesium: Important during physical exercise, which can place extra demands on the immune system. Zinc: Required for activity of several enzymes in energy metabolism. A general multivitamin & mineral supplement is not necessary in addition to Wellman. Wellman Sport is not tested on animals & suitable for vegetarians. It contains no artificial colours, gluten, preservatives, salt or yeast.
