Sufficient nutrients for good recovery

Vitamins and minerals are vital in ensuring that your body functions as it should. You want to be certain that your body has enough of these vitamins and minerals during the injury recovery process. A multivitamin can be used to supplement your daily diet and ensure that you consume enough vitamins and minerals.

The omega 3 fatty acid, DHA, is an important building block for the brain and is therefore good for brain function¹.Krill Omega-3 Gold can be used to support a head injury recovery process. Krill Omega-3 Gold also contains choline, which helps retain the structure of cell membranes.

Running injury recovery

The most common injuries among runners are tendon and joint injuries. Sufficient rest is crucial to recovery. Certain exercises can also help strengthen the tissues. Collagen is an important building block for tendons and joints and also plays a significant role in the strength of these tissues. Vitamin C is also important for the production of collagen. That’s why Collagen Gold with vitamin C is good to take when recovering from a running injury.

Footballing injury recovery

Lots of jumping, bending, twisting and turning in football increases the risk of injury. A combination of good treatment, sufficient rest, and a healthy body is extremely important in recovering from a footballing injury. A good basic diet supplemented with the correct supplements can support your recovery from a footballing injury.

Collagen is important for the build up of ligaments, tendons, and joints. Collagen Gold with vitamin C supports collagen production.

Proteins are important in retaining muscle mass during a period of injury recovery, which is why you have higher protein needs when recovering from injury. Whey Classic Gold, Whey Recovery Gold, and Casein Gold can help you consume enough protein. Another protein, Creatine Gold, is also excellent in building muscle mass.

Tendon injury and cruciate ligament injury

Both tendon as well as cruciate ligament injuries are common in sports. Where tendon injuries demand lots of rest, an operation is often needed for cruciate ligament injuries. During recovery from both injuries, it is vital that you consume sufficient nutrients, such as vitamins and minerals. A multivitamin can therefore be a good supplement during this period. Collagen Gold and Krill Omega-3 Gold can also be used for support.
