Celebrate June’s sports season with smart support for energy, hydration and
recovery
From the speed of a sprint to the endurance of a ride and the agility of a tennis
match, this month is a celebration of movement. But no matter your sport, your
nutrition strategy matters just as much as your training.
Here is what your body needs to stay energised, recover effectively and keep
moving.
Got the energy to perform?
Whether you’re running laps or hitting volleys, your body benefits from quick access
fuel
- Carbohydrates support energy production during activity
-
Creatine may help improve short bursts of power and performance
- Caffeine ( from natural sources) can enhance focus and perceived endurance
Electrolytes: the game-changer you’re missing?
Hydration is about more than just water. Sweat causes the loss of key electrolytes
like sodium, potassium and magnesium which help support:
- Normal muscle function
- Nervous system function
- Reduction of tiredness and fatigue
Protein: your recovery MVP?
Physical activity places stress on your muscles. Post exercise nutrition can help
support recovery
- Aim for 20-30g of protein after training
- A blend of BCAAs in the natural 2:1:1 muscle ration
- Collagen is a key structural protein in joints and connective tissues.
Is your immune system game-ready?
Intense training can be demanding on the body. For ongoing support:
-
Vitamin C and Zinc contribute to normal immune function
-
Turmeric and Omega 3 can be included as part of a balanced approach to
recovery
- Probiotics may support digestive and immune health.
No matter your goal, whether you're marathon training, cycling the hills, or playing
hard on the court, nutrition is the foundation of athletic wellbeing.
Every active body should prioritise:
- Proper hydration
- Recovery nutrients
- Energy support
- Immune health
Train Smart. Recover Well. Stay Fuelled.
