Minerals

Minerals are of great importance for a healthy body. Minerals are in all the food we eat. Athletes need more minerals, and XXL Nutrition has a good range for this. A mineral such as magnesium is important for the proper functioning of the muscles. And a mineral like zinc is very important for the metabolism. In addition to these minerals, XXL Nutrition offers an even more extensive range for athletes.

Magnesium is a mineral that is common in our daily diet, but that you can still use a little extra dose of. Magnesium helps in maintaining strong muscles and helps in building up body protein. This makes magnesium such a popular supplement among devout athletes. Magnesium is usually bought in the form of tablets. You can even get it in combination with another mineral such as calcium and magnesium or zinc and magnesium. The most available form of magnesium is magnesium citrate. This is a very pure form of magnesium and is therefore well absorbed by your body.

Just like magnesium, zinc is a mineral that you can take as an excellent supplement to support your daily intake. Zinc is a complex mineral and contributes to a large number of processes in your body. For example, the maintenance of the testosterone content and the maintenance of strong bones. It also has a positive effect on your skin and your memory and helps with your metabolism. If you want to take zinc as a supplement, check out our zinc glycinate tablets, the best form available. You can also take zinc in combination with magnesium or even as a stack, consisting of zinc, magnesium and tribulus.

When you think about calcium, you probably think about dairy products such as milk, cheese or cottage cheese. But what if you eat plant-based foods or have an intolerance to lactose? In that case, it is often very difficult to get enough calcium. This is a shame, because calcium is an important mineral that plays a role in maintaining strong bones, normal muscle function and energy metabolism. Fortunately, it is also possible to ingest calcium in a different way, namely in supplement form, in order to provide your body with all its essential needs. Even if you do eat dairy, it may be a good plan to take some extra calcium because intensive strength training makes your needs considerably higher.
