Vegan Essentials Powder

If you want to get the most out of your sport, you need to make sure you have the right nutrition. The best possible supply of nutrients is a decisive factor for strength, endurance and speed and at least as important as the training itself. Both amateur and competitive athletes have an increased need for certain vitamins and minerals as a result of their regular athletic activity. By covering this additional requirement, the optimal performance capability can be ensured and regeneration and resistance of the body can be promoted in the best possible way. Nutri-Plus Sport Essentials has been specially developed for these special needs. Some ingredients of Nutri-Plus Sport Essentials and their functions in detail: L-Leucine L-Leucine is a branched chain amino acid (BCAA) and is essential for the body. A large number of studies indicate that leucine is a trigger for muscle protein synthesis. Since leucine is mainly found in dairy products, vegans in particular should pay special attention to this amino acid. Calcium + Vitamin D Calcium is the main component of our bones. In the event of a deficiency (such as can occur when sweating heavily), the body draws on its own reserves – the bones. This can lead to bone fragility. Calcium contributes to normal energy metabolism. Vitamin D fosters the absorption of calcium from food and the incorporation of calcium into the bones. Especially in the cold season, the body's own production of vitamin D is often insufficient. Magnesium Without magnesium, the body would not be able to move a single muscle. It is essential for muscle contraction and an important component of our bones. Magnesium is excreted in sweat, which can lead to muscle cramps during physical activity. Athletes must therefore always make sure they have a sufficient supply of magnesium. Magnesium contributes to normal energy metabolism and muscle function. Vitamin E Vitamin E (tocopherol) is an essential nutrient that the body cannot produce itself. It protects unsaturated fatty acids in cell walls from attacks by free radicals and thus prevents cell damage. It can also regenerate used vitamin C into its original form. During sporting activity, additional free radicals are produced. Athletes must therefore make sure that they take in additional vitamin E. Vitamin E contributes to the protection of the cells against oxidative stress. Vitamin C Vitamin C is a natural, essential antioxidant that scavenges free radicals and renders them harmless. It is particularly effective in combination with vitamin E. As more free radicals are produced due to the increased metabolic rate during sporting activity, athletes must ensure that they take in sufficient vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal immune system function during and after intense physical training. Iron Iron is responsible for the formation of the red blood cells and, as a component of hemoglobin, for the transport of oxygen. Since iron is lost through sweat, athletes have an increased need for this mineral. Iron contributes to the normal formation of erythrocytes and haemoglobin as well as to normal oxygen transport in the body. Vitamin B complex The group of B vitamins includes 8 vitamins that play a crucial role in most metabolic processes. Folic acid and vitamin B12 are needed for the formation of red blood cells, while pantothenic acid is involved in fat breakdown and protein synthesis. B vitamins contribute to a normal energy metabolism, vitamin B6 to a normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Even in ancient Rome, a healthy body was associated with a healthy mind. Even today, the fact that physical exercise is essential for a healthy life is undisputed. Regular training is one of the most effective ways to increase health, well-being and performance. In addition to the cardiovascular system and the bones, the immune system and blood vessels are also strengthened. Exercise helps prevent diseases such as diabetes or high blood pressure and is even said to increase mental performance. Furthermore, physical activity promotes stress reduction and is thus not only good for the body and mind, but also for the soul. In order to make the most of the positive effects of physical exercise, it is important not to train beyond one's limit and to allow the body sufficient recovery phases. Only if the body has enough time to regenerate and replenish its reserves can it perform at its best. Those who often push themselves to the limit in popular or competitive sports should therefore ensure an optimal supply of energy and nutrients in order to promote endurance, strength and the ability of their muscles to regenerate as well as muscle development. Due to the greater load and the associated higher energy supply, athletes should pay attention to a sufficient supply of vitamins B1, B2 and niacin, as these are involved in the energy metabolism of the body. During training, free radicals are formed in the metabolism, which is why an adequate supply of vitamins C and E should be ensured. These vitamins belong to the so-called antioxidants and can render free radicals harmless. In addition to vitamins, a sufficient supply of minerals and trace elements must also be taken into account, as these are increasingly excreted with sweat. For example, about 70 mg of calcium and 10 mg of magnesium as well as trace elements such as iron and zinc are lost per litre of sweat. These should be replenished after training to achieve an optimal training effect. The minerals calcium and magnesium, for example, are necessary for functioning muscle and nerve activity. Typical symptoms of a too low magnesium intake are muscle cramps. An insufficient supply of iron - as a component of red blood pigment responsible for oxygen transport - can also reduce physical performance. DGE Report (Sport and Nutrition): "The daily requirement of some vitamins, minerals and trace elements (beta-carotene, vitamins C and E, B-complex, magnesium, zinc, iron) is increased in athletes because, on the one hand, they are excreted more via sweat, urine and possibly faeces and, on the other hand, they are needed more due to the increased formation of free radicals."

Nutri-Plus Immune Essentials – for immune system and body defences Some of the ingredients of Nutri-Plus Immune Essentials in detail: Vitamin C Vitamin C is one of the most important antioxidants and radical scavengers in the human body. Numerous studies show that a high vitamin C intake reduces the risk of colds and shortens the duration of colds. Vitamin C contributes to the normal function of the immune system and protects cells from oxidative stress. Zinc Zinc is a mineral that the immune system needs to function properly. Clinical studies show that zinc supplementation both shortens the duration of colds and reduces the severity of symptoms. Zinc has a function in cell division, contributes to protection of cells from oxidative stress and to normal function of the immune system. Selenium Selenium is a trace element that is very important in the protection of cell membranes in the human organism due to its high reactivity with oxygen. It therefore has an important function as a radical scavenger and is indispensable for the body. Selenium contributes to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and to the normal function of the immune system. Vitamin B complex B vitamins are needed, among other things, for nerve metabolism and the production of messenger substances in the brain. Particularly in older people, an adequate supply of B vitamins shows an improvement in vitality and the immune system. Folic acid, vitamin B6 and B12 contribute to the normal function of the immune system, B2 to the protection of cells against oxidative stress and, together with biotin and niacin, to the maintenance of normal mucous membranes.

Vitamin B12 is found almost exclusively in animal products, which is why vitamin B12 supplementation makes sense especially for vegans and vegetarians. Since the water-soluble vitamin can be stored in the liver for about 3 years, a deficiency only becomes noticeable later. Vitamin B12 is involved in numerous metabolic processes in the human body. The functions of the vitamin at a glance: Vitamin B12... contributes to a normal energy metabolism contributes to a normal function of the nervous system contributes to a normal homocysteine metabolism contributes to normal mental function contributes to a normal formation of red blood cells contributes to a normal function of the immune system contributes to the reduction of fatigue and tiredness has a function in cell division The Nutri-Plus vitamin B12 lozenges are therefore ideally suited for vegan or vegetarian diets. One lozenge (sucked or chewed) every day provides the body with optimal vitamin B12. In addition, the tablets have a refreshing and delicious cherry taste, melt pleasantly on the tongue and are therefore practical for on the go. Our vitamin B12 lozenges are 100% vegan and free from aspartame, gluten, soy, artificial colourings and preservatives. The lozenges are developed in Germany under the strictest quality standards (IFS and GMP) by our nutritionists.

Omega-3 fatty acids are essential fatty acids that our body cannot produce itself in sufficient quantities and which are therefore essential for life. They have many functions. Omega-3 fatty acids play an important role in the production of hormones, the prevention of inflammation and the formation of the body's own defence cells. They also contribute to a normal heart function and the maintenance of a normal brain function and vision. Inadequate intake of these fatty acids can therefore lead to physical and mental impairments. Symptoms of a deficiency can include fatigue, visual impairment and an increased susceptibility to inflammation. There are countless omega-3 products on the market. Our high-dose capsules are 100 % vegan and are thus obtained from algae. Algae are important food sources for sea fish and therefore the original source of omega-3 fatty acids. A daily portion (2 capsules) contains 1100 mg of omega-3 fatty acids, of which 600 mg of docosahexaenoic acid (DHA) and 300 mg eof icosapentaenoic acid (EPA) as well as 126 % of the NRV of natural vitamin E. Our omega-3 capsules are developed by our nutritionists and manufactured under the strictest quality standards.
