Sports Supplements

Every athlete wants to perform his or her best during sports activities. The body requires an array of nutrients during exercise. Many athletes rely on sports supplements to help them stay energetic during workouts. Many sports supplements are available to meet the needs of athletes. These supplements come in a variety of selections for you to choose from. Some of these products may increase the amount of nutrients and chemicals available to the body during exercise. Many factors actually go into an athletics performance including diet, sleep, and the training program. Sometimes a sports supplement can also be used. One example is a protein supplement. Protein is a nutrient needed for the growth and repair of muscles. Another example is creatine. Creatine is a natural chemical that the body uses to supply energy to the muscles. Creatine is made by the body in the liver, pancreas and kidneys. It can also be found in foods such as meat and fish.

Sports Supplements for Every Athlete

Walgreens has a wide selection of sports supplements. These may help support your body during sports activities.

Some are known to cause side effects. People who are allergic or sensitive to the products may not tolerate some or all of these products. Weight gain, muscle cramps and problems like diarrhea are more common side effects of creatine. Drinking enough water is very important when using creatine. If you have kidney disease or diabetes you should not take creatine. In addition, creatine is not safe to combine with certain drugs that can cause kidney side effects.
