We now know that after strenuous exercise, in addition to water, we must also provide the electrolytes our body needs. But what about vitamins?
The best way is to get the vitamins and minerals you need through natural beverages and foods. For example, it is better to get vitamin C through the consumption of orange juice and dark green leafy vegetables, and to get calcium from dairy products. If athletes eat enough varied foods to maintain a fixed weight, they do not need to take supplements containing vitamins and minerals. However, if you like to consume drinks that contain vitamins (Vitamin Water), you should pay attention to the following points.
Vitamins are divided into two categories: water-soluble, such as vitamins B, C, and fat-soluble. Most of the vitamins in these drinks are water soluble. It is true that excess amounts of water-soluble vitamins are excreted through the kidneys, but still you should not overdose on these vitamins. Too much of these vitamins can interfere with the absorption of other nutrients and cause kidney problems.
