Product Information

Older adults need several vitamins in higher amounts, as the body becomes less efficient at absorbing vitamins and minerals with age. In addition, ageing can bring a reduced appetite, meaning that nutritional shortfalls are both more likely to occur and harder to correct with diet. Chromium brings a lot to the nutrition table: it helps regulate glucose and insulin action, which in turn influences blood sugar and weight management. It also plays a role in the breakdown of carbs and fats, stimulates fatty acid synthesis, ditto cholesterol synthesis, and is important for brain function and other bodily processes.

Magnesium is important for both men and women and plays a role in more than 300 processes within the body. It can help regulate testosterone and energy in men, can help relax muscles and regulate blood sugar. It’s rare to find this trace mineral in your everyday multivitamin but it’s actually essential to your health. It acts as a co-factor for four important enzymes and without it, toxins and sulfites would build up in the body. Any excess is eliminated in urine. Vitamin C has long been associated with optimal immune function and riders are encouraged to get a variety of fruits, vegetables, soups and juices to prevent deficiency. Riders will take Vitamin C along with zinc at the onset of any upper respiratory tract infection symptoms to support immune tolerance and minimise time lost to training. During travel or intense racing periods, some riders will take vitamin C to support immune function. Magnesium contributes to a reduction of tiredness and fatigue, electrolyte balance, normal energy yielding metabolism, muscle function, protein synthesis and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Potassium acts as an electrolyte, helping the body to regulate fluid, regulate muscle contractions, send nerve signals and maintain a healthy heartbeat. It may also help to reduce blood pressure and protect against strokes, as well as protect bone density. Studies suggest that few people consume enough potassium in the diet, true more so for men than women. [4]

Inositol is a carbohydrate molecule that plays a role in many bodily processes. It may help to boost mood and treat anxiety and depression by affecting neurotransmitters in the brain including serotonin. It is also involved in the nervous system, cell signaling and cognition. Again this is another important molecule that inferior multivitamins often miss. The SiS performance multivitamin is formulated to support the specific nutritional needs of endurance athletes, allowing training and performance to be maximized. The key nutrients focused on with the multivitamin include iron, vitamin D, B vitamins and vitamin c. In men, studies have also linked it to testosterone regulation, explaining why Performance Lab NutriGenesis® Multi for Men contains 5mg more than the women’s version, delivering 136% of a man’s DV. Vitamin C helps promote a healthy immune system, build collagen, and keep teeth, bones, and gums healthy. Find out more about vitamin C's benefits. Zinc contributes to the normal metabolism of macro and micronutrients, protein synthesis and cognitive function, the Normal function of the immune system and protection of cells from oxidative stress and the maintenance of normal bones, hair, nails and skin.

As a result, supplementing with performance vitamins and minerals can be an excellent way to reduce the risk of micronutrient deficiencies and avoid compromised training adaptations and performance. It includes vitamins and minerals to protect the heart, strengthen the immune system, protect bones and joints and encourage metabolic performance as well as healthy ageing. Performance Lab NutriGenesis Multi also supports hormone balance, energy metabolism, digestive health, skin, hair and nails and more. You can see an exact breakdown of the ingredients shortly. Cleanest Multivitamin in the UK Zinc is another important mineral, as it plays a significant role in normal protein synthesis and maintaining testosterone levels in the blood. Practitioner insight: Iron is best absorbed on an empty stomach (e.g. before breakfast) as far away from training as realistically possible. SiS Performance multivitamin also includes 80mg of vitamin C which is a good quantity to increase iron absorption but not compromise training adaptations (Sims et al. 2019). Pantothenic acid is the name given to vitamin B5. Pantothenic acid plays a role in hormone production, energy metabolism and is critical in enzyme production.

Magnesium and iodine are also important for female-health needs. The former is used in hundreds of processes in the body, helping to regulate blood pressure and blood sugar levels, potentially reducing the risk of diabetes and heart disease. In women over 40, it is also particularly useful for its role in preventing bone loss that could lead to osteoporosis.

Niacin or B3 helps the nervous system as well as improving blood cholesterol and fat and protein metabolism. As a result, each individual may have vastly different needs when it comes to supplementation. However, the low dose of vitamin D formulated in SiS Performance Multivitamin is ideal in that it offers a slight insurance factor to increase vitamin D intake if low, but it’s not too much as to create a risk of over supplementing. Supplementing can help you reach your fitness goals and enhance your overall well being. Our Performance Multivitamin is the perfect option for endurance athletes looking to meet their nutritional needs, with 19 key vitamins and minerals. These vitamins offer a multitude of benefits to your health, including supporting the normal functioning of the immune system, reducing tiredness and fatigue, maintenance of normal bones and muscle function, and normal protein and glycogen metabolism. Men, of course, benefit from consuming a wide range of vitamins and minerals but particularly important vitamins for men include vitamins A, C, D, vitamin E and the B-vitamins. Vitamin K is also useful for men. Important minerals include zinc, calcium, magnesium, potassium and selenium.

Also referred to as cobalamin, B12 aids heart health, energy metabolism and cognitive function. Dementia and depression have been linked to low levels of serum B12. Older adults and vegetarians are more likely to have a B12 deficiency which can cause memory loss. There is no recommended maximum amount for vitamin B12, and higher doses have not been shown to be harmful. As well as considering taking a probiotic supplement, elite athletes and the general population should ensure a diverse intake of plants every day. This provides food for our own ‘good’ bacteria and is probably the most beneficial thing we can do to promote a healthy gut. Calcium contributes to normal muscle function, neurotransmission, blood clotting, energy yielding metabolism and the maintenance of normal bones and teeth.
