You may spend an hour training each day, but the other 23 hours are just, if not more important, to see the results you want. And that's where sports nutrition supplements like pre-workouts and whey protein powders come in.

At National Nutrition, we know that finding the right sports nutrition products can help you stay energized, hydrated and healthy while you're training. As a natural health and supplement store, we're always looking for new products to add to our shelves that not only inspire you to get or stay active, but help you achieve the most benefits from your healthy routine.

That's why National Nutrition is excited to offer you new sports nutrition products from BioSteel, ATP Lab, Alani Nu and ProSupps.

Before we get into these exciting brands, we'll give you a quick refresher on why sports nutrition is so important.

Why Are Sports Nutrition Supplements Important?

Sports nutrition is important because it helps to fuel more effective workouts and keep you in the game, mentally and physically (yes, this means better workouts!).

Most sports nutrition supplements will fall into these categories:

  • Pre-workout: Pre-workout supplements aim to support exercise performance and energy before training sessions. They typically contain ingredients like caffeine and amino acids that help with energy levels and focus, allowing you to push harder during your workouts.
  • Post-workout: Post-workout supplements support recovery after intense exercise. These products are often stand-alone protein powders that help your muscles recover. Some formulas may include a small amount of carbohydrates to replenish your glycogen stores that may have become depleted during exercise, while others may include a superfood formula to help combat post-workout stiffness and facilitate recovery. Protein powder can be drunk at any time of day. It can increase daily intake and support muscle mass, satiety, and healthy weight goals.
  • Hydration: Hydration supplements help support fluid and electrolyte balance during exercise. These products contain electrolytes and/or carbohydrates, which are essential for maintaining proper fluid levels in the body.

Simply put, if you want to make the most out of your workouts, you will want to look to quality sports nutrition.
