How do you actually ensure you get enough vitamins and nutrients? On my road to Manavgat and my return to regular training, I naturally pay close attention to my diet. Especially during my three-week tour through Vietnam, in addition to a healthy and balanced diet, a daily extra dose of vitamins and nutrients on the agenda. This is particularly important when exercising in a hot and humid climate and sweating profusely, as I do. A wonderful little helper proved to be an Orthomol Sport drink – a true all-rounder when it comes to supplements, containing important vitamins, minerals, magnesium, coenzyme Q10, and omega-3. And what can I say? Since I've been drinking a bottle of Orthomol Sport every day for the past six weeks, I've practically had no more toe cramps. And they were really bothering me at the end of last year. But find out for yourself which vitamins and nutrients are actually good for what.
First things first: there's no getting around a healthy and balanced diet. However, certain everyday situations and/or sporting activities can mean that your nutritional needs aren't always met. You know this from professional tennis players: besides bananas or dates, they also boost their performance with electrolyte drinks or energy bars. Surely everyone is familiar with this and does it themselves, each with their own individual preferences and routines.
Personally, I love it when a product contains a wide variety of nutrients. Specifically, those that can support us tennis players in our performance, resilience, and recovery during training and matches. With Orthomol Sport, you get 22 essential vitamins and sport-specific micronutrients for complete daily support.
But what exactly is in one serving, and what is it all good for?
Many of the ingredients contained in Orthomol Sport Vitamins & Minerals, such as calcium, magnesium and vitamin D, have been proven to support regular muscle function, and magnesium, zinc, vitamins C, D and K and calcium also support the maintenance of normal bones.
The bottle also contains iron, magnesium, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and vitamin C, which contribute to reducing tiredness and fatigue. Energy metabolism is normalized by biotin, calcium, iron, iodine, copper, magnesium, niacin, pantothenic acid, riboflavin, vitamin B12, vitamin B6, and vitamin C.
A strong immune system is crucial for optimal performance. Orthomol Sport supports the normal function of the immune system with iron, copper, selenium, vitamin A, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, vitamin C, vitamin D, and zinc. This is especially important during and after intense exercise – in which case, vitamin C is particularly crucial.
Biotin, magnesium, niacin, thiamin, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and vitamin C support both the normal function of the nervous system and normal psychological function. This is important for maintaining mental fitness and staying focused throughout a match.
This product contains coenzyme Q10, an important vitamin-like substance required for energy production in all body cells. It also includes L-carnitine, an amino acid relevant to fat metabolism, which is said to act as a transport mechanism for long-chain fatty acids. The omega-3 fatty acids eicosapentaenoic acid (EPA) and docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) are also included. The premium-level supplement is rounded out by the addition of lutein, lycopene, and citrus bioflavonoids.
We know this all too well from our own family. Supplements can be excellent, but if they don't taste good, they won't be taken. That's why it's always a good idea to try something beforehand. Personally, I find the taste quite neutral – it's slightly orangey and very easy to drink.
But since everyone has a different sense of taste, you can order a product sample from Orthomol in advance - we think that's great.
Important: For legal reasons, product samples can only be sent to people who reside in Germany or Austria.
