The Best Supplements For Boxers

Whether you are a professional boxer, or have simply chosen the sport as a great way to keep fit, boxing is a high-intensity exercise that will push your body to its limits. For the vast majority of us, a balanced diet is all that is required to support boxing training. But, if you’ve set new personal goals, or you want to push yourself even further, you might want to consider some nutritional supplements to support your body through your performance.

Here are some of the best supplements for boxers.

Do boxers need to take supplements?

No one, not even the top athletes, needs to take supplements. However, as boxing is very intense, prolonged exercise, you might find that your body will need support in regaining any lost nutrients if you partake in it. Boxing is a very demanding sport and can cause fatigue, pain and stress, so encouraging your body’s nutrient levels can help to support your performance.

What supplements should boxers avoid taking? 

Particularly when you are a professional boxer, there will be many substances that need to be avoided when training as a boxer. Avoid any illegal substances, anabolic steroids, testosterone or other hormone products, and especially weight loss products if you are a boxer. You should also avoid taking supplements from untrusted brands or improperly labelled supplements – each supplement should have a clear ingredient list as well as a dosage attached.

 

 

What are the best supplements for boxers? 

When it comes to choosing the best supplements for boxers, you might find that many are actually the best vitamins for boxers. Adding some extra nutrients to your diet can help to support your energy levels.

Omega 3 fatty acids

Boxing is an intense combative sport, and requires a lot of mental endurance as well as physical endurance. Omega 3 is a crucial nutritional supplement and helps to support brain health, which is turn can support boxing performance.

Multi-vitamins

Whether you are an amateur or professional, you will notice that boxing requires a lot of intense, frequent training to stay at the top of your game. Every effort should be made to eat a healthy, balanced diet in order to maintain required nutrient levels within the body. However, sometimes our levels might drop slightly and simply taking a daily multivitamin can help to support your body’s nutrient levels – making it one of the best vitamins for boxers.

Creatine

Adding a creatine supplement to your diet can help to support your body’s energy levels, making it one of the best supplements for boxers. Creatine can help to support high-intensity exercise, as it is stored within your muscles and exercise releases it. It is also not considered illegal by athletic doping authorities, so if you’re a professional boxer, you can use it without worry.

FAQ

Our R&D process usually takes around 12-18 months, but can take up to 2 years with lots of to-ing- and fro-ing to get the formula just right.

Our formulas are created based on the latest research and scientific understanding. Only those ingredients known to be safe through historical use and clinical research are selected for use in our products.

Many of our formulas contain natural extracts from food or plant sources, such as curcumin, ginger, artichoke, berberbine, ashwagandha, milk thistle and broccoli to name just a few. Other examples include calcium from algae and vitamin K2 from chickpeas. Many of our supplements also contain nutrients known as “nature-identical” – manufactured to be a perfect replica of the same nutrient found in food, an identical structure with optimal purity and absorption. Unlike “food grown” supplements, our formulas are backed by real science, allowing us to include higher, more therapeutic levels of nutrients, as well as botanicals, in the forms known to be better assimilated by the body, and are standardised for consistency across our range.

Often it’s necessary to include additional ingredients in our products to make them effective. These are also known as excipients, and include ingredients such as anti-caking agents which stop lumps from forming in powders, flow agents which help with the manufacturing process, or coating ingredients used to help make the tablet easy to swallow. Whatever the product, we aim to use as few excipients as possible, from the safest, most natural sources available. Over the last few months we have been busy working through our entire product range to see where we can make changes to the additional ingredients we use, reducing the number of excipients or even switching to “pure-fill” capsules (where no excipients are used at all), and you will see these changes filtering through over the next year. With complex formulations containing lots of ingredients, this process is a tricky one, but we are committed to making improvements to our products where we can.

GMP means “Good Manufacturing Practice”. GMP describes the minimum standard that a medicines manufacturer must meet in their production processes, and ensures that products are of a consistently high quality, are appropriate for their intended use and meet any authorisation requirements. Food supplements are not medicines, and so are not required to be manufactured in GMP-certified facilities, but by using suppliers who are manufacturing to GMP standards, we are happy that our products are being made to the highest quality. We ourselves at Nutri Advanced hold a Wholesale Dealers Authorisation, meaning we are certified to GDP – “Good Distribution Practice”. GDP ensures that the quality and integrity of products are maintained throughout the supply chain.
