Banned substances may vary by the governing body that oversees your sport.<\/p>\n<h2 >What Supplements Can Athletes Take?<\/h2>\n<p>Unfortunately, unethical individuals and companies exist \u2013 intentionally adulterating or misbranding products labeled as sports supplements.<\/p>\n<p>When considering a performance supplement, it\u2019s best to communicate with coaches, trainers, sports dietitians and other health professionals who also consult WADA\u2019s prohibited substance list.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully third-party testing certifications exist. These agencies were developed to protect athletes from unintentionally consuming products or ingredients contaminated with prohibited substances. When choosing <a title=\"health supplements\" href=\"https:\/\/development.gnc.com\/vitamins-supplements\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">health supplements<\/a>, look for products labeled Banned Substance Tested or NSF Certified for Sport\u00ae[.

It\u2019s important they focus on putting the best nutrients and ingredients into their bodies. A well-rounded diet rich in fruits and vegetables, lean proteins and healthy fats \u2013 in the right amounts, to meet their caloric needs is imperative to performance. If your diet looks less than perfect, multivitamins can provide extra assurance to help athletes meet their nutritional needs.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/vitamins-a-z\/vitamin-b\/\">B Vitamins<\/a> \u2013 B Vitamins help to support energy metabolism. They can be found in most multivitamins but can also be taken as a standalone vitamin should an athlete need additional B vitamins to meet their energy demands OR following a vegan diet.<\/li>\n<li>Fish oil \u2013 Fish oil pills are a great way to supplement your diet when you\u2019re living the college campus dining hall dream. Chances are dining halls aren\u2019t serving fish 2-3 times per week, or that you\u2019ll want to consume it. Fish oil provides omega-3\u2019s which helps to support cardiovascular health, joint and eye health. Three very important aspects for athletes who put stress on their cardiovascular system, joints, and require precision vision for their sport.<\/li>\n<li><a href=\"\/vitamins-supplements\/antioxidants\/\">Antioxidants<\/a> \u2013 When you\u2019re not getting enough fruits and vegetables in your diet, potent antioxidants like Vitamin C can help to fight free radical damage caused by intense exercise.<\/li>\n<li>Nitric Oxide Boosters \u2013 Foods that are high in dietary nitrates like arugula, beets and beet root juice or powder are a great way to increase nitrate oxide in the body. Dietary nitrates fuel the nitric oxide which promotes vasodilation and increases blood flow to provide oxygen and nutrients to working muscle. Nitric oxide boosting ingredients can be found in pre-workouts. Make sure the pre-workout you choose has been tested for banned substances in sport.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When searching for ways to support your training and performance goals, there\u2019s something for everyone. Know the demands of your sport, consider your goals, and be sure to consult your team physician, trainer, or sports dietitian to help guide your supplement choice. Look for products that have been third-party tested for banned substances and trust the experts at GNC to provide the best supplements to support your performance goals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Find out what each sport might be looking for when it comes to banned substances and taking supplements.
