PRACTICAL SPORTS NUTRITION J. Scott Parish.

Question: Is there a basic arsenal of athletic supplements that would benefit my adolescent child who plays club soccer? Obviously, it would be essential that such an arsenal would be both safe and effective.

Answer: Your question is well stated and is an important one to consider. As with many subjects there are both good and bad sources of information. Solid ground does exist however, when one assimilates the outcomes of multiple authoritative sources, (IE: peer reviewed medical and university studies). With that said please allow me to preface my recommendations by saying that I believe ‘less is more’ in regard to your query. Okay then, to safely enhance ones athletic performance I advise the use of ‘core nutritional stack’ of just four supplements (of the hundreds of products available on the market today) including: 1.) An All Natural Multi-Vitamin 2.) An All Natural Omega 3.) A Chelated Multi-Vitamin 4.) A Lactose Free Whey Protein Isolate/Combo Carbohydrate/ Glutamine/ Branch Chain Amino Acid Punch Flavored Recovery Drink. This synergistic ‘four-plex’ will benefit your young ones in multiple ways. It has been proven to be effective without harm when used as directed, and requires a simple regime that you can comply with on a daily basis, and is very cost effective. Please feel free to contact me for an elaboration on the above for further assistance.
