Advanced Nutrients

An antioxidant pigment from algae; studies on performance and recovery show small or inconsistent effects.

A fruit powder or extract providing polyphenols; the amounts in a serving are small and evidence for sport benefits is limited.

A B vitamin involved in turning food into energy; supplementing helps only if your diet is short on it.

A trace mineral studied for bone and joint health and hormones; human evidence is limited and mixed.

An electrolyte and bone mineral; sweat losses are small compared with sodium.

Needed for nerve signaling and cell membranes; evidence for performance benefits is limited.

A trace mineral marketed for blood sugar control and body composition; trials show small or no effects in healthy people.

A trace mineral needed for iron metabolism and connective tissue; most diets provide enough, and high zinc intakes can lower copper.

Magnesium supports muscle and nerve function and sleep; many athletes fall short of the recommended intake. Supplementing helps mainly when intake is low. Glycinate and malate forms are well absorbed and gentle on the stomach.

A trace mineral involved in bone formation and antioxidant enzymes; deficiency is rare.

Raises NAD+ levels in the blood; human trials haven't shown clear benefits for performance or health.

Plant antioxidants; studies on performance and recovery show small or inconsistent effects.

A trace mineral that supports antioxidant enzymes and thyroid function; most diets provide enough.

Plant compounds marketed for healthy aging; human evidence is limited and may blunt some training adaptations at high doses.

Needed for immune function and healthy skin and gut lining; most people get enough from diet.

Involved in energy metabolism and making neurotransmitters; supplementing helps only if intake is low.

Supports immune function and acts as an antioxidant; moderate doses may reduce colds during heavy training, while very high doses may blunt training adaptations.

Vitamin D supports bone, muscle and immune health; deficiency is common in athletes who train indoors or live far from the equator.

An antioxidant vitamin; most people get enough from diet, and high doses offer no performance benefit.

Needed for blood clotting and bone proteins; often paired with vitamin D. Evidence for bone benefits in healthy adults is mixed. Talk to a doctor if you take blood thinners.

A carotenoid plant pigment studied for eye (lutein) or heart (lycopene) health; evidence for athletes is limited.

Zinc supports immune function and tissue repair; athletes lose some in sweat. Helpful if your diet is low in it.
