Vitamin
Supplements and Sport\Exercise Performance
In general, health professionals
indicate that vitamin supplements are not necessary for the individual on a
well-balanced diet, but they may be recommended for certain individuals, such
as the elderly, vegans, and women of childbearing age. Moreover, some health
professionals note that most people do not consume an optimal amount of
vitamins by diet alone and indicate that it appears prudent for all adults to take vitamin
supplements. In such cases, there is no need to take more than 100–150 percent
of the RDA.
Obtaining adequate vitamins, including
use of supplements, may also be prudent behavior for some athletes. Melinda
Manore noted that athletes involved in heavy training may need more of several
vitamins, such as thiamin, riboflavin and B6 because they are involved in
energy production, but the amount needed is only about twice the RDA and that
may be easily obtained through increased food intake associated with heavy
training. However, in a recent scientific roundtable exchange, several sport
nutrition experts indicated that some athletes may be at risk for a vitamin
deficiency, such as those in weight-control sports and those who for one reason
or another do not eat a well-balanced diet. Others note that the prudent use of
antioxidant supplementation can provide insurance against a suboptimal diet
and/or the elevated demands of intense physical activity, and thus may be
recommended to limit the effects of oxidative stress in individuals performing regular,
heavy exercise.
