Training and participation in sports create an increased demand for multiple nutrients involved in energy production and recovery from activity. A joint statement issued by the American College of Sports Medicine, the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics, and the Dietitians of Canada is particularly noteworthy for an individual who is involved in athletic activities: “Supplements may be required by athletes who restrict energy intakes, use severe weight loss practices, eliminate one or more food groups from their diet, or consume high-carbohydrate diets with low micronutrient density.” Thorne's Foundational Stack for Athletes includes the following three products: Multi-Vitamin Elite provides two multi-vitamin/mineral formulas to meet daytime and nighttime needs. The A.M. formula helps boost energy during the daytime, while the P.M. formula supports rest and recovery at night.* D-5,000, which provides 5,000 IU’s of vitamin D per capsule, is essential to support healthy bones and muscles, as well as cardiovascular and immune function.* Super EPA is a premier fish oil supplement that contains the essential fatty acids EPA and DHA to help maintain healthy heart, brain, and neurological function, while supporting the normal inflammatory response in muscles and joints.* Each gelcap of Super EPA contains 425 mg of EPA and 270 mg of DHA. Because athletes need to know their supplements are trustworthy and compliant, every batch of an NSF Certified for Sport® product is tested for compliance with label claims and to ensure the absence of nearly 300 substances banned by many major athletic organizations.
