Athlete Support: A Quad for Your Quads

We all know things that are important for athletic performance. Safe and effective training is key, as is mental stamina. Eating the right kinds and amounts of food at the right time is also crucial. Even an athlete’s diet likely doesn’t supply all the nutrients needed. Athletes need special support to keep their bodies running like a well-oiled machine. But with so much information out there about nutrients and what to take and not take, how does an athlete hone in on the important information? The Tenpenny Team has made it easy for you! Read on.

Heart

It is important to provide nutrients to de-stress the blood vessels. Stress placed on coronary arteries as a result of normal cardiac function is an expected part of the aging process. According to several studies, this stress can lead to disruptions in arterial function, proliferation of vascular smooth muscle, decreases in circulating nitric oxide (NO) levels, and eventually vasocontraction of key coronary arteries. Opti CitruCore provides a blend of targeted nutrients designed to help dampen this stress by maintaining normal inflammatory balance, balancing NO levels, maintaining smooth muscle integrity, and optimizing vasodilation of key coronary arteries.

Cell Energy

When you’re an athlete, your cells have to run in perfect fashion. It’s important to provide nutrients at the cellular level. CoQ-10 is a very important antioxidant for athletes. CoQ-10 supports cell energy production and provides wide-ranging cardiovascular support.

CoQ10 is a lipid-soluble antioxidant found in every cell in the body. CoQ10 is abundant in the mitochondrial membrane and plays an important role in the synthesis of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), a molecule of chemical energy upon which all cellular functions depend.

The synthesis of ATP within the mitochondria is a multi-step series of biochemical reactions called the electron transport chain. As a coenzyme, CoQ10 is required for several enzymatic reactions required to produce cellular energy and to protect the body against free radicals produced during this process.

To maintain energy production, mitochondrial CoQ10 is continuously recycled from ubiquinone, its ATP production state, to ubiquinol, its antioxidant state. After the age of 35 to 40 years, endogenous synthesis of CoQ10 begins to decline.

CoQ10, an essential component of cellular energy production, has been shown to extend cell life and benefit high-energy systems, namely the cardiovascular, neurological and immune systems. The Opti CoQ-10 formulation is delivered in an oil-based proprietary form and includes natural vitamin E for enhanced absorption and maximum stability.

Greens

Most of us don’t get enough vegetables and fruits, even athletes. Opti Greens combines concentrated, organic fruits and berries with a vegetable antioxidant blend to help build antioxidant reserves and protect the body from free radical damage.

Opti Greens provides beneficial nutrients from berries, fruits, vegetables and greens to support balanced nutrition. The formula combines concentrated, organic fruits and berries with a vegetable antioxidant blend to help build antioxidant reserves and protect the body from free radical damage. In addition, Opti Greens provides 16 superfoods to boost energy levels.

Sulfur

Sulfur, really? Yes. Important for the generation of connective tissues, sulfur is crucial for the production of amino acids, the building blocks of protein.

Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) is a naturally occurring compound that provides a high-concentration of elemental sulfur. Sulfur is a key mineral with numerous health-promoting properties, which include boosting the body’s antioxidant mechanisms, supporting detoxification pathways, and supporting immune response.  Opti MSM 900 is a high-concentration formula for comprehensive soft tissue and immune support. Each high-concentration capsule contains 900 mg of MSM for multidimensional soft tissue and immune support.

And there you have it. Consider these supplements to be at the peak of your athletic performance. This Athlete Support bundle is the perfect quad for your quads!
