In my research and readings, a scientific study indicated that daily doses of important vitamins and minerals taken with a nutritionally balanced and adequate diet, would greatly help physical and mental performance for athletes undergoing strenuous training. Aside from the fact that I am growing older, I need multivitamins and minerals to protect my body from any deficiencies in my diet. Sometimes, this dose of tablets gives me the “psychological” belief that I feel stronger and younger in my physical activities.

I take Centrum Silver tablet everyday which has potassium and magnesium in them needed to minimize muscle cramps. I take 1,000 milligrams of Vitamic C to protect me from colds, from other illness and injury, and for faster recovery from injuries; Calcium tablets for a sturdy bones; Vitamin E for the production of anti-bodies; Vitamin B Complex which aids in the metabolism of fats; Fish Oil tablet for the heart and blood circulation; and Glucousamine tablets to strengthen my bone joints and knees.

I’ve never missed a day with this dose of vitamins and minerals for the passed six years and I am still positive and sure that I am getting stronger with my running, with the combination of healthy and balanced diet, complete rest at night, no vices, and a positive attitude in life.
