Sports Medicine

In sports medicine, achieving the correct balance of macronutrients and micronutrients is crucial for optimal performance and effective recovery. A well-structured diet, combined with specific supplementation, helps athletes avoid nutritional deficiencies and enhance physical endurance. 

Supplementation with iron, magnesium, calcium and vitamin D is particularly important for maintaining muscle function and supporting metabolic processes. Iron is essential for transporting oxygen to muscles, helping to prevent sports anaemia, which is common among endurance athletes. Magnesium aids in muscle contraction and prevents cramps, while calcium and vitamin D are vital for bone health, reducing the risk of osteopenia and stress fractures. Vitamin D also plays a key role in muscle function, enhancing strength and neuromuscular coordination. 

Supplementation with these minerals can help athletes to: 

Beyond muscle performance, athletes must also support their immune system, which is often weakened by the intense oxidative stress and inflammation caused by prolonged training. Supplementing with antioxidants, vitamins C and E and polyphenols helps mitigate oxidative stress and improve post-training recovery.

Intense physical activity can increase the risk of muscle and joint injuries. Using topical products designed to promote joint health is an effective strategy for reducing pain, inflammation and enhancing post-injury recovery. 

Among the most advanced solutions, Cetylated Fatty Acids (CFAs) have proven particularly effective in improving joint function and reducing muscle stiffness. This highly concentrated active ingredient helps to: 

Topical application of CFA-based products, combined with appropriate nutritional supplementation, helps athletes maintain optimal physical performance and shorten recovery times. 

Targeted supplementation is a crucial strategy for athletes, whether competing at a professional or amateur level. The use of sucrosomial® minerals, such as iron and magnesium, ensures optimal absorption and improved gastrointestinal tolerability compared to traditional supplements. 

Tailored supplementation, along with a balanced diet and appropriate physical training, is therefore key to optimising performance and ensuring long-term muscle and joint health.
