Q: What vitamins does an athlete need?

Vitamin C doesn’t provide the body with energy, but it contributes to immune system function during and after intense physical exercise, as well as to the role of proteins and lipids against oxidative damage. Vitamin B6 is important too, which contributes to protein metabolism and stable blood sugar levels, as well as facilitating stamina and vitality, amongst other functions. However, the choice of products and brands will depend on the specific nutritional needs of each athlete.

Q: Is it possible to have an excess of vitamins in my body?

There is such a thing as hypervitaminosis, and it can be just as harmful as a deficiency. Be careful. An excess of certain nutrients in our system might result in organic intoxication. It should be noted that some, such as vitamin C, are eliminated through urine if there’s an excess in the body. However, others, such as vitamin A or D, can accumulate and cause an organic imbalance.
