The problem of compatibility of different supplements in sports

Abstract

Effective nutritional-metabolic support strategies are of interest to athletes, coaches, and physicians prescribing various supplements. Dietary deficiencies in macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals of the right type can interfere with training adaptation, while for athletes who eat a balanced diet; physiological training adaptation can be enhanced. Therefore, in the event of a lack of specific nutrients, athletes are forced to use various supplements, but will individual combinations of these supplements be safe for the body as a whole and will be effective for improving athletic performance? This study analyzes and summarizes studies on the compatibility of some supplements and the safety and efficacy of such combinations in sports, in particular: the compatibility of vitamins E and C, vitamin D and calcium, creatine and caffeine, and branched chain amino acids (isoleucine, leucine, and valine).
