One of the most popular categories of supplements with our athletes is the convenience of the Multivitamin.
There are so many choices regarding multivitamins I thought I would share how to pick the right one. Please keep reading to the bottom as I reveal the complete daily routine for you to try.
The first question is, “Do I need a daily multivitamin?”
The best answer I’ve heard from Dr. Kevin Sprouse (EF Pro Cycling) is that you should think of a daily supplement/vitamin routine as an insurance policy against any nutrient deficiencies that might happen occasionally.
Remember, as an athlete training, you have much greater nutrient requirements than an average person. If you become deficient in any nutrient, you risk lower energy production and slower recovery times.
Here is my top 5 list and how to pick the right one for you:
5 Puori Multivitamin (Perfect for Vegans)
Puori is ideal for plant-based and vegan athletes. It is focused on the vitamins and minerals that are harder for vegan athletes to get from their diet.
4 Klean Athlete (Ideal for Tested Athletes)
Klean is ideal for any tested athlete with the NSF for Sport Certification. It is a robust multivitamin with a well-rounded list of ingredients, including some Iron and a rich mineral profile.
3 Momentous Essential Multi (Tested & Recovery Benefits)
Momentous Essential Multi has been made super popular by the Dr. Andrew Huberman Podcast. It is NSF for Sport tested and includes Resveratrol and 2000 IU of Vitamin D to help with recovery.
2 Thorne Multivitamin Elite (AM and PM Dosage)
The main benefit is that Thorne is timing the nutrients to when they are best absorbed and needed. You get an AM dosage to fuel your day. Then at night, you take the PM Dosage to help with sleep and what you need for overnight support.
1 First Endurance Multivitamin (Energy & Performance)
The First Endurance Multivitamin is 100% focused on energy production, both the nutrients you need to make more energy and the antioxidants you need to recover from using all that extra energy.
The secret to why the First Endurance Multivitamin product is It targets endurance-specific micronutrient gaps with daily support, year-round, building a performance foundation that’s better than anything we’ve ever made so you can hit a level that’s better than you’ve ever been.
WAIT.
You should add an Omega-3 supplement to your routine, and if your multi-doesn’t have at least 2000IU of Vitamin D, you also need to add Vitamin D.
Pick one of the Multivitamins above and add an Omega-3 supplement to your routine.
