Science & Research
Verifiable Science
Athletic Nutrients is a complete, highly bioavailable multivitamin, multi-mineral and trace element supplement designed for physically active individuals and athletes. The formula combines bioavailable minerals, activated vitamins, antioxidants and pH-balanced creatine to support energy and endurance, and lessen muscle fatigue. Potassium, calcium and magnesium are included to support healthy muscle function.1 Copper, manganese, selenium and zinc help to maintain healthy tendons, ligaments and joints.2 Creatine monohydrate supports ATP regeneration and enhances work output in activities such as weightlifting and sprinting.3 NAC, alpha lipoic acid and l-carnosine support muscle recovery and comfort. In a placebo-controlled, high intensity exercise study, NAC promoted a healthy cytokine balance and supported muscle comfort.4‡
