FitGen Vitamin B 12 Plus R145.00 (30 capsules) This nutritional supplement contains a host of the B-Vitamins, including an ample dose of water-soluble Vitamin B12. Young athletes benefit by adding Vitamin B12 to their daily nutrient intake. It assists in converting carbohydrates to glucose, resulting in an energy release. Best of all, its water solubility means the body will only store the Vitamin B12 it is lacking. Any excess will be excreted in urine. Vitamin B12 may counteract fatigue, help reduce stress, assist with healthy brain function and boost your immune system. A ‘plus’ is the addition of various other B-vitamins offering energy-release assistance and nervous system support. FitGen MultiVite R115.00 (30 capsules) If you’re wondering what your growing young athlete, aged 8 or older, needs to stay in tip-top condition, look no further than FitGen MultiVite. This well-balanced formulation contains vitamins and minerals in the correct amounts to promote allround wellness. Ingredients include various B-vitamins known for their important role in energy release and offering nervous system support. Vitamins A, C, D3 and E are also incorporated. Iron in the form of ferrous fumarate helps to combat anaemia, and Calcium and Magnesium complement each other to promote bone health. Zinc is useful in boosting immunity. The dosage is one capsule daily, or two if your star is feeling run-down. FitGen Omega-3 1000 mg R115.00 (30 softgels) While many people supplement with the essential fatty acid, Omega 3, for heart health, recent research points to several benefits for young athletes. This naturally-sourced fish oil supplement has been shown to assist in lowering levels of inflammation. If inflammation remains elevated after exercise, this can negatively impact muscle soreness, tissue repair and other aspects of recovery. Omega 3 has been shown to increase blood flow to muscles during exercise, help to decrease muscle soreness, reduce swelling, and increase range of motion post exercise. FitGen Omega-31000 mg can be taken once daily, after breakfast, with a full glass of water. FitGen Product Guide 5
