Nutra Supplements – Right nutritional mix for the modern day footballer

Nutra Supplements are official nutrition partners with five ISL clubs this season including Delhi Dynamos, Jamshedpur FC, Bengaluru FC, Chennaiyin FC and FC Pune City.

Modern day football is a challenging game of intermittent, and iterative phases of low and high intensity sprinting, jogging and walking at maximal effort. It is a physically taxing sport that demands a combination of stamina, endurance, agility and power from an athlete.

An average professional player has to train 3-5 days per week to stay in prime shape and condition to meet these demands of the game, week-in-week-out. Therefore, it’s no surprise that footballers place a good diet and proper nutrition at a very high priority to consistently stay energized and strong. Be it a rookie, intermediate or a pro, a nutritious and well – balanced diet allows players at all levels to achieve their goals of high performance in training as well as competitions.

As per FIFA, the international governing body of association football, “a well-balanced and varied diet made up of natural foods rich in valuable nutrients is the best performance enhancer to use.” A varied diet is one that meets the energy needs of the body and at the same time ensures a healthy intake of all necessary nutrients.

Chief among these nutrients are carbohydrates (to provide the brain and muscles with the fuel essential for matchdays and training) and protein (for building and repairing muscles).

Carbohydrates, which are stored in the muscles and liver as glycogen, are the main source for energy production during football. While about 10-15% of a footballer’s calorific intake must contain protein. An absence of the above or poor nutrition, can lead to injury, fatigue and poor recovery, all of which can massively affect a player's performance in an adverse manner.

Nutra Supplements - Tailor-made to cater to athletes’ needs

Having said that, nutrition in football is more than just carbohydrates and proteins. All of the vitamins and minerals play a role in helping our bodies be the best they can be. Calcium and vitamin D for bone health, adequate iron to prevent fatigue and antioxidants to support the immune system are only a few roles nutrition plays.

Keeping all this in mind, Nutra Supplements launched an array of dietary products, specifically tailored to aid and suit every need of a modern day footballer. From Nutra BCAA++ (to activate protein synthesis and reduce muscle breakdown), Nutra Creatine Monohydrate (to increase high power and speed), to Nutra Energy bar (provide athletes with sustained release of energy), Nutra Supplements’ product range is directed to address all pre-game performance related issues of an athlete.

In addition to these, products like Nutra Whey Protein (speedy repair of torn muscles) and Nutra Rehab+ (faster recovery from injury and improved immunity functions) are designed to aid and boost the athlete's fitness in the recovery process from an injury.

That’s not all, Nutra Supplements has also addressed the needs of female athletes through an ingenious product Nutra Whey – Lassie (high protein diet for female athletes) which fulfils all the necessary protein demands of female athletes and sportspersons. While some other products like Nutra – ProCarb and Nutra L- Glutamine and so on are aimed at helping the athlete recharge and recover from those extensive and gruelling workout sessions.

It makes no sense to train hard and ignore the benefits that follow from good food choices. Therefore, modern day footballers (amateurs and professionals alike) can reap the benefits of Nutra Supplement’s products in the form of optimum performance.

Better still, they can do so without having to worry about doping since all of Nutra Supplements’ products are completely free of any illegal performance-enhancing substances (i.e. it is 100% dope free). All in all these products highlight the better choices for improving performance since they are healthy, effective and explicitly allowed.
