Vitamins are useful substances which participate in the processes connected with the metabolism in the human body. The sufficient use of vitamins is especially important for athletes at whom achievements in the chosen discipline in many respects depend on metabolism. If it isn't possible to fill the lack of vitamins C with food, then it is necessary to begin to receive them in addition. Intake of vitamin A has some specifics.
Instruction
1. Vitamin A is received either in preventive, or in the medical purposes. In the preventive purposes it is the best of all to receive it in capsules. This vitamin is acquired only with fat therefore one capsule contains oil in which the necessary dosage of vitamin is dissolved. In day usually receive two or four capsules of vitamin A. If you the athlete, is better to begin with two capsules if this dosage appears insufficiently, to pass to four.
2. Itself can't appoint the dosage for medical application, the doctor has to make it. This vitamin is effective in fight against skin diseases, problems with eyes, intestines and the stomach. The doctor can appoint and more than two capsules a day, everything depends on the reception purposes. If you wish to achieve intake of vitamin A of specific goals, nevertheless it is the best of all to see the doctor that he advised the exact dosage. The surplus, as well as the lack of beta carotene is harmful to the organism.
3. It is necessary to receive capsules with vitamin A in the morning and in the evening, within 10 minutes after the meal. Combination of intake of carotene with food is necessary because differently vitamin just won't be acquired: for processing of this substance such connections which in the organism appear only after the meal are necessary. Both in the morning, and receive the identical number of capsules with vitamin A in the evening: on two or on one.
4. If you play sports seriously, then, perhaps, it is the best of all to receive not separate vitamin, but the whole complex. Multivitamins – the medicines containing various connections – differ in balance of dosages. One of features of many vitamins, including, vitamin A, that these substances aren't acquired separately. In the complex these vitamins are processed by the organism much easier. Besides, very seldom in the organism the lack only of vitamin A is observed, the strengthened reception and other connections usually is required. Separate advantage of the vitamin complex will become the fact that it is calculated on reception by the course. If you have no personal doctor who could advise, then it is possible just to come to drugstore and to ask what complexes of multivitamins calculated on athletes are available for them.
