If overhauling your diet seems daunting, getting enough of the following 8 nutrients is scientifically shown to positively impact your energy levels, promote lean muscle formation, boost hydration, and help you get fit faster.*

AMINO ACIDS

The building blocks of protein, amino acids help support muscles during exercise and promote lean muscle formation. By reducing protein breakdown during your workout, they also help reduce muscle soreness and speed next-day recovery.*

B VITAMINS

There are a variety of B vitamins, but certain ones like thiamin, riboflavin, niacin, B6 and B12 are key in converting food to energy, supporting sustained energy levels and enhancing blood flow to help you push harder during your workout. They also are vital in helping speed up post-workout recovery time. Most B12 comes from animal sources, so vegetarians and vegans may have a difficult time getting enough of this particular vitamin from diet alone.*

CALCIUM

We’ve all heard that calcium is important for strong bones, but few people know it also helps support lean muscle formation and protects muscles from protein breakdown during exercise. Calcium may be more effectively utilized by the body when paired with vitamin D3 and electrolytes like magnesium.*

CREATINE

An organic compound that helps build lean muscle mass, creatine can help you get fit faster by supporting energy—helping you crush that spin class, power through yoga asanas, and beat your best time on your next trail run.*

ELECTROLYTES

Electrolytes are critical in helping your body hydrate. By boosting hydration, you can reduce next-day muscle soreness and speed recovery, as well as boost athletic performance and energy levels. If you’ve ever tried working out dehydrated, you know how important electrolytes are to helping you stay in the game. Unfortunately, many sports beverages that tout electrolyte benefits are also loaded with sugar.*

GLUTAMINE

Scientifically shown to reduce next-day muscle soreness, glutamine helps you get fit faster by reducing recovery time. It’s also linked to improved hydration and electrolyte metabolism. It’s key in helping you stick to your workout routine so you can reach your goals.*

PHYTONUTRIENTS

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, only 1 in 10 people eat enough fruits and vegetables, rich in plant-based phytonutrients that support heart and joint health and improve nutrient synthesis. Adding key phytonutrients shown to benefit a healthy, more active lifestyle is critical to overall wellness.*

VITAMIN D3

In addition to helping the body utilize calcium, vitamin D3 also supports enhanced blood flow during a workout, so you can get that extra set of reps in or run that extra mile and reach your fitness goals more quickly. It also helps speed post-workout recovery and can help reduce muscle soreness after exercise.*

Before adding a complicated pill regimen and bulky barrels of chalky supplements from the big-box nutrition store to your daily routine, you should know that there is a much simpler, scientifically supported way to add amino acids, B vitamins, calcium, creatine, electrolytes, glutamine, phytonutrients and vitamin D3 to your diet.

In fact, the best pre- and post-workout supplements only add 2 steps to your workout routine (and none of the sugar found in most sports drinks). Meet the Modere Fitness Combo: Modere Rush and Modere Recover.
