Vitamin & Mineral Supplements

According to Canada’s Food Guide, the average person requires a minimum of 5 servings of Grains, 5 servings of Fruits & Vegetables, 2-4 servings of Milk & Milk Products and 2-3 servings of Meat and Alternatives. An athlete in serious training will require roughly double the calories and hence double the number of servings of all the 4 food groups. Eating a healthy diet and consuming an increased number of servings from the food groups will more than adequately cover your increased needs for calories, carbohydrates, protein, B vitamins and antioxidant vitamins. For serious or not so serious athletes, a good quality multivitamin is more than enough for added coverage. No need to break the bank on supplements. Your money would be better spent on high quality food instead.
