Grand view research data shows that the global sports nutrition market size will be US$42.9 billion in 2022 and is expected to expand at a compound annual growth rate of 7.4% from 2023 to 2030. Sports nutritional supplements are usually taken before or after exercise and are sold in a variety of forms: capsules, powders, ready-to-drink beverages, energy bars, gummies, etc.


So what functional ingredients can be used in sports nutrition products?


Vitamin C and glutathione

The health benefits of vitamin C have been widely studied, and it is also a common raw material for sports supplements. One of its main functions is its powerful antioxidant capacity. Athletes usually perform high-intensity training to improve performance, which will increase the amount of reactive oxygen species in the human body ( ROS) exceeds the body's normal antioxidant system, causing oxidative stress.

Vitamin C, as an antioxidant, plays an important role in neutralizing ROS and preventing oxidative damage to cells and tissues. The same is true for glutathione, which is closely related to its role. As the most abundant antioxidant in cells, thione is an effective scavenger of ROS. The combined use of vitamin C and glutathione can help prevent oxidative stress caused by exercise, improve muscle aerobic metabolism during exercise, and reduce muscle fatigue

Creatine

Common functional raw materials include creatine, which can be obtained from red meat and seafood. Supplementing creatine helps produce adenosine triphosphate (ATP), which provides energy to muscles, improves muscle quality, enhances exercise performance, and accelerates recovery.

NMN

A six-week randomized double-blind trial included 48 young and middle-aged recreational training athletes to investigate the effects of exercise training and NMN supplementation on cardiovascular health. The study proved that NMN improved the aerobic capacity of humans during training and supplemented NMN. Might improve endurance in athletes.
