Sport, muscles & endurance

Micronutrients play a crucial role for athletes, especially for muscle building and endurance. With a balanced intake of micronutrients such as magnesium, zinc and iron, athletes can improve their performance and prevent muscle fatigue and injuries. Antioxidants such as vitamins C and E contribute to faster regeneration after training and support muscle health, which leads to improved athletic performance. All information on the exact ingredients and their effects can be found on the respective product pages. You can find our MITOcare products on the Cologne List® by clicking here.
