Sports enthusiasts from time to time face sprains, injuries and all sorts of pain. An incorrectly calculated load negatively affects the ligaments and joints. Sometimes they are subject to very serious deformations. The reason for such undesirable consequences is that the body of an actively training person does not have enough incoming minerals and vitamins. Therefore, for those who perform serious physical exercises, a specialized diet is recommended plus the intake of additional special drugs. Among athletes, vitamins are most in demand, which make it possible to restore the balance of nutrients, saturate cartilage and joint tissues, which prevents injuries. Ligaments and joints are especially affected by intensive build-up of physical loads. As a result, chronic pain appears and inflammatory processes develop. So the importance of microelements and vitamins for ligaments and joints is difficult to overestimate. To ensure the high-quality work of the musculoskeletal system, competent nutrition is needed, which will supply a person with the required amount of microelements. Joints and ligaments are saturated with a huge range of minerals and vitamins, each of which is responsible for a certain tissue characteristic, is unique, fundamentally important and necessary. Most of the nutrients come from food, but this is not always enough. As a result, various vitamin complexes and dietary supplements have been created, including a wide range of useful elements. For the guaranteed functioning of joints and ligaments, the following are most important: * calcium – a bone-building substance. He is responsible for the strength and quality of the joints; *omega-3 fatty acids improve the motor function of the joints and are indispensable for the prevention of diseases of the musculoskeletal system,* selenium is able to reduce joint pain and reanimate injured tissue. It also promotes the absorption of other elements, manganese and boron are responsible for the production of collagen and improve metabolic processes, * hyaluronic acid provides the motor ability of the joints, * phosphorus in tandem with copper helps strengthen ligaments, vitamin A, whose antioxidant abilities protect joints from injury, * vitamin E, which enhances tissue regeneration and slows down aging,* vitamins C, D, B and K involved in the production of collagen, cartilage strengthening and anti-inflammatory properties. Of course, it is impossible to drink all the necessary components separately – you would have to swallow several tablets at once. For the purpose of convenience, vitamin complexes for joints and ligaments were created. Their components are different, but it is recommended to give preference to those that have been used for a long time and have received many positive reviews. Good advice can be given by a personal trainer or a doctor. Doctors do not recommend buying supplements containing a large list of components, because some vitamins and minerals should be taken separately. Also, do not turn to drugs with dyes, flavors and other substances that provoke an allergic reaction. Vitamin complexes and sports supplements are available in the form of tablets, powders, capsules and even injections – all for the comfort of those who need them.
