Sports Overtraining Syndrome Support

To support athletes training at high intensities. A specially formulated combination of nutrients and herbs designed to support the stress of athletes training at high intensities, both physically and mentally, and to assist in the recovery of symptoms of overtraining syndrome (OTS) during periods of intense exercise and physical exertion. OTS is an imbalance between intense training and adequate recovery, a maladapted response to excessive exercise without adequate rest, and manifests itself with both physiological and psychological symptoms which negatively affect athletic performance.[1,2] Symptoms of overtraining include: compromised performance, unexpected fatigue, disrupted sleep patterns, apathy, disturbances in mood, muscle aches and pains, poor concentration, immunosuppression (with a greater risk of infections, particularly colds and urinary tract infections), poor tissue regeneration, elevated resting heart rate and elevated cortisol.[1,2] The most likely candidates for OTS are elite athletes, although recreational athletes can also over-train by doing too much too soon or failing to get adequate rest and nutrition.[2] This formula helps to support healthy immune function, recovery time, physical and mental stress, energy production and healthy cortisol production.
