Dietary supplements – a never-ending discussion

Who doesn’t know the feeling? After an intensive training session you’ve really pushed yourself to the limit and want to treat yourself afterwards. Relaxing sauna sessions, gentle massages or simply resting are tried-and-tested methods of recharging your batteries, but they take time and are not effective enough for many people. In fact, this is precisely one of the main reasons why many competitive athletes are motivated to take nutritional supplements. There is much debate about how useful supplements are for athletes who already eat a balanced diet. It is a fact that an unathletic person will not turn into a professional athlete just by taking supplements, but they can certainly support competitive athletes in their activities. It is important to pay close attention to which supplements you take and in what quantities. As long as no low-quality supplements are used and there is no overdose, they are generally not harmful to the human body.

Why do athletes use nutritional supplements?

Most athletes use nutritional supplements to support recovery, maintain health, increase performance, prevent/treat illness and to compensate for an unbalanced diet.

What are dietary supplements?

Food supplements are officially defined as foods that are intended to supplement the general diet. They are a concentrate of nutrients or other substances with a specific nutritional or physiological effect. Furthermore, they are offered for sale in dosed form, in particular as capsules, lozenges, tablets, pills, or in sachets of powder, liquid ampoules and bottles with drop dispensers. It is important to mention that they are not subject to pharmacy‑only regulations and can therefore be purchased anywhere. Most products offered for athletes are in powder or capsule form, but there are also effervescent tablets, gels in sachets or tubes, and so on. In any case, they are dissolved in water or taken orally together with any liquid, i.e. neither injected nor infused. Categories of ingredients in food supplements can include vitamins, minerals, amino acids, essential fatty acids, fiber, as well as various plant and herbal extracts. In addition to probiotics, substances such as caffeine, creatine, L‑carnitine or coenzyme Q are also added, which are marketed as nutrition‑related performance enhancers. In principle, food supplements include performance‑enhancing substances such as multivitamin preparations or protein concentrates. Nevertheless, food supplements are not on the doping list; however, it must be mentioned that they could theoretically be contaminated with doping agents. This is usually only the case with low‑quality food supplements. Precisely for this reason, it is all the more important for athletes to be fully informed about which supplements they are taking!

Carbohydrate gel

In the field of nutritional supplements, ASMC does not offer pills and capsules, but instead gels, powders and effervescent tablets. Isostar Energy Gel is a liquid carbohydrate gel, conveniently portioned in a single-use sachet, and is particularly suitable for endurance athletes as support during training sessions and competitions. The gel is easy to digest, and the fruity banana and strawberry flavor makes it a varied additional source of nutrition; however, it should be taken together with an additional 200 milliliters of fluid. The gel is available in two flavors, with the other variety being neutral in taste and containing no caffeine. In general, it is suitable for all sports, but should ideally be consumed during exertion.

Protein powder

High Protein 90 is a high-quality protein powder for maintaining and building muscle mass. At the same time, it is intended to increase strength, support fat burning and optimize subsequent recovery. It is suitable both before and after training and can be taken with water, milk or together with muesli and yogurt. In general, it is well suited for all strength sports as well as for short and repeated physical exertion.

Electrolyte drink

Hydrate & Perform drink powder is an electrolyte drink that supports athletic performance. In general, the drink is intended to help with hydration control, increased endurance and optimized recovery. The refreshing taste of either cranberry or grapefruit makes it a tasty drink that at the same time boosts endurance and improves water absorption. This makes it exactly the right choice, especially for longer and more intense training sessions! During the warm-up phase, it is recommended to drink 150–300 milliliters of the drink, and during and after exertion 150 milliliters every 15 minutes. To prepare it, simply mix 3 heaping tablespoons with 500 milliliters of water.

Effervescent tablets

Isostar effervescent tablets are dissolved in water before consumption. The small pack contains 10 tabs, with two tabs needed for 500 milliliters of water. It is ideally sized so you can carry the tablets with you and take them before training. The effervescent tablets improve water absorption during sports, are rich in vitamins and have a refreshing lemon flavor. They help with hydration control, increase endurance, support fat burning and aid recovery. They are best suited for short, intensive sporting activities.
