Why do I need a Multi-Vitamin? I mean I eat pretty good. Why do I need to take extra Vitamin C and what the heck is Riboflavin? If you’ve found Yourself asking similar questions raise your hand! I have been competing as an athlete all my life. I remember my First game playing on my middle school association football team where I ran a kickoff Return back for a Touchdown on the opening kickoff! I even set a record at my old high school by having the most punt returns for touchdowns in a Single Game with two! What an Incredible feeling! I received a scholarship to go play NCAA football at Virginia State University in 2004! Throughout all my experience playing sports and all the great coaches I encountered I missed out on one major thing and that was Sport nutrition education. I don’t remember any of my coaches ever teaching me about the importance of sport nutrition and the impact it may have on my athletic and academic performance. This is why we created the Slight Edge Performance Program to do just that! Coaches can teach their athletes about the physical aspect of their sport but many athletes lack the education of sport nutrition that will help them perform at the highest level and reach their full potential!

So back to the Question! Why should I take a multivitamin as an student-athlete? Student-Athletes have a higher energy requirement than non-athletes! Your Food is literally your Fuel! From now on look at your body as a Vehicle and Eat to Fuel your body! That Fuel will give your body the energy it needs to Go, Do and Perform! Most athletes don’t get the Dailey recommended Nutrition intake they should that’s why it’s so crucial to take a High Quality, Sport Certified, Plant-Based Food Supplement. I personally use Nutrilite Double X to fill any nutritional gaps I may have. You get what you pay for so you really have to ask yourself “how much is your health worth to you?” I started using Nutrilite Double X multivitamin/ multi mineral while playing NCAA football. I noticed my energy was incredible and lasted all day! My focus, endurance, stamina and strength all increased! As a fitness instructor and physical development consultant now I personally recommend that everyone invest in a high quality, plant based food supplement to bridge any nutritional gaps they may have. And if you’re going to be fueling your body to perform then you better put the best type of Fuel in your body and Nutrilite Double X is the very best! In fact Nutrilite is the only global vitamin and mineral brand to develop safe and effective supplements made from whole plant concentrates. I want you to do your research!
