Speed Recovery

Athletes with an established baseline of optimal nutrition have a shorter treatment time and faster return to sport, up to a 25% reduction in time required compared to athletes experiencing nutritional deficiencies.

Improve Training Response

Rigorous training causes free radicals (reactive oxygen species) to collect in muscle, lungs and connective tissue. Rapid reversal of free radicals requires ample antioxidants, which may shorten the response time associated with athletic conditioning and recovery from injury and surgery.

Maximize Endurance Training

Endurance athletes require more key nutrients to maximize their training. Important supplementary nutrients include zinc, selenium, vitamin C, vitamin E, alpha lipoic acid, calcium, omega-3s flaxseed oil, magnesium and plant-derived antioxidants.

Avoid Permanent Damage

Athletes sometimes suffer later in life as a result of participation in a sport. Preventative nutritional support fuels natural pathways for healing cutting down on the risk of permanent disability.

Boost Immune Response

High physical stress can prolong recovery from viral illnesses. Optimal supply of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants is fundamentally important to maintaining an immune system.

Protect Connective Tissues

Cartilage
Healing of early cartilage injury is possible, but dependent on nutrient factors like glucosamine, chondroitin and vitamin E.

Tendons
Tendons are maintained by very few cells and these cells require anti-oxidants and collagen directed nutrients like vitamin C, zinc, copper, manganese and glucosamine. Tendon cells need "all the help they can get" especially during flexibility training. Major interruptions in tendon exercise (greater than 4 weeks) are undesirable and may lead to loss of tendon strength.

Ligaments
Ligament strength is nutritionally dependent. Similar to tendons, ligaments respond to regular training and optimal nutrition by becoming stronger and less susceptible to injury. The nutrients vitamin E, vitamin C and glucosamine are needed for optimal training response. Following injury healing ligaments have increased nutritional requirements. A six month recovery period may be necessary to regain adequate ligament strength.

Bone
Optimal nutritional allows bone to maximize its intrinsic strength during training by becoming more resistant to traumatic fractures, stress fractures and bone bruises. Bone depends not only on calcium and magnesium, but also the key nutrients vitamin C, vitamin K, vitamin D, potassium, zinc, copper and manganese.

Nutriex Sport may be taken with or without meals. Take a total of 5 to 12 capsules, depending on your weight, following the table at right. Maintaining optimal blood and body levels of nutrients 24 hours a day is the goal. Water soluble vitamins only remain in the body for 12-16 hours, so by taking Nutriex twice (or 3-times) daily you can achieve this significantly better than once a day. Better Absorption Some foods we eat can make it easier for us to absorb certain vitamins or minerals; others can make it more difficult. Taking Nutriex twice (or 3 times) a day balances the effects of food on absorption. Customized Nutrition Have you ever wondered why most vitamins recommend one a day to everyone, whether you're 5' tall and 110 pounds or 6'5" and 250 pounds? It's because they use a catch-all dose that might not be right for you. Nutriex tailors the dosage to your body weight and/or diet. This specificity helps avoid excess quantities that your body cannot absorb, and the negative effects of excessive intake. Don't Shortchange Your Health Don't worry if you can't always take Nutriex twice or three times a day. Although taking Nutriex more than once a day is preferred, it is better to get your complete dose every day, even if this means taking it all at once.

1. Should I take Nutriex Sport or Nutriex Health? My doctor told me to take Nutriex Sport after surgery and then switch to Nutriex Health after several months.

Nutriex Sport contains the natural anti-inflammatory (bromelain) and higher levels of glucosamine and chondroitin for connective tissue health. For these reasons, we recommend that the following people take Nutriex Sport:

• Those who have been recently injured
• Those who have undergone surgery or are scheduled for surgery
• Those who have arthritis or other degenerative joint changes
• Those who are involved in rigorous training or high-level sports

 

2. How can I tell if Nutriex Sport is doing any good?

Look for signs of improved general health like your skin health, hair and nail growth, your energy level and your ideal sleep/wake cycle. After six months, look for improved immune system health; like resistance to colds and flus or a faster recovery from a cold virus. Measure you training parameters for improvement. Compare muscle soreness following activity to other athletes. Ask your coach or athletic trainer for his/her read on your training and/or performance.

3. I know dietary supplements are not well regulated. How do I know the ingredients in your products are any good?

We outsource our manufacturing and have carefully selected a manufacturer whose priority is to meet or exceed all regulatory standards (either existing or proposed). As such, they only allow ingredients to come from a select group of vendors that meet the following criteria:

• Pass an independent audit
• Test and verify their products through 3rd party labs
• Provide clear written documentation (including Certificate of Analysis) with delivery of their ingredients
• Supply products that are consistent in quality
• Screen for microbials and possible contaminants prior to delivery at the same level of stringency as the manufacturer

If a vendor ever falls below one of the above standards, they are eliminated from the working list and their ingredients are no longer approved for use.

We have in the past done some random screening of our more expensive ingredients (which are more likely to be adulterated). After consistently appropriate results, we decided to minimize our expenses and only test if needed.

4. Does the green tea extract in the Nutriex supplements contain caffeine?

Though green tea extracts can be high in caffeine, ours contains a small amount -- 4 mg for the average serving size of 7 Health capsules or 9 Sport capsules. This is equivalent to the amount of caffeine in 4 Hershey Kisses or half a cup of hot cocoa. In comparison, a typical cup of tea contains about 50 mg, while coffee contains 100+ mg of caffeine.
