The main dietary supplements for sport

Most popular with active people wishing to combat or prevent deficiencies, dietary supplements are an easy solution to integrate into your balanced diet. Here are the main supplements you'll find at DECATHLON. 

We're talking here about zinc, iron, magnesium, calcium and potassium, all of which are essential to the body's various biological processes. These minerals play a key role in optimal bone health, as well as supporting muscle function and regulating hormones and metabolism. On our online site, you'll find dietary supplements combining different minerals, as well as the option of taking them separately. 

Omega-3s are particularly recommended for athletes who enjoy endurance activities, as they offer significant benefits for heart health. At the same time, they improve brain function and reduce joint inflammation. All in all, they are an ideal dietary supplement for sports enthusiasts.

Like omega-3s, curcumin's anti-inflammatory properties are highly appreciated during physical activity. It improves joint health and enhances recovery after exercise.

Certainly one of the most widely consumed dietary supplements, magnesium offers numerous benefits for body and mind. Involved in over 300 biochemical reactions in the body, it helps produce energy, improves muscle function and regulates blood pressure.

Magnesium is also appreciated by people suffering from stress or poor sleep quality, which is why cures are frequently proposed for such disorders. 

Often consumed together, vitamins D3 and K2 are fat-soluble, i.e. they are soluble in fats (or lipids). In particular, they influence bone health, calcium regulation and cardiovascular health. Where vitamin D3 enhances calcium absorption in the intestine, vitamin K2 helps transport calcium to the bones for optimal bone health.
