5 supplements every athlete should take

0:00 These are the top five supplements that all parents should get

0:03 their athletes taking and the top one is going to surprise you.

0:07 Number five, whey protein.

0:08 This is great for recovery from training.

0:10 Don't tell me that you're overtrained, you are under recovered.

0:14 Take two scoops a day to get those 60 extra grams

0:17 of protein and if you need to get plant protein, that's fine.

0:20 Make sure it's high in leucine.

0:22 Number four, zinc, 30 mg before bed or 30 mg at lunch,

0:26 also fantastic, great for the immune system,

0:28 good for just getting those hormones rolling.

0:30 Number three, vitamin D.

0:31 This is key for health.

0:32 Make sure you get some blood work done, talk to your doctor.

0:35 Number two, creatine.

0:37 It is not a steroid and in fact,

0:39 if you play a contact sport or even parents watching this, you

0:42 guys need to start taking your creatine 5 to 10 g a day.

0:45 And then finally, magnesium.

0:47 Magnesium anywhere, this is terrible handwriting, anywhere from 400 to 800 mg.

0:53 You can take something like glycinate,

0:54 anything along those high quality magnesium supplements right before bed.

1:00 1 hour before bed with the zinc, you're going to sleep like a champ.

1:03 Peace.
