Nutrend is undoubtedly one of the largest and best known manufacturers of sports nutrition in the Czech Republic. This company does not specialize only in strength sports, but also produces supplements for endurance athletes.
Thanks to its broad focus, Nutrend is a proud sponsor of Olympic athletes Martina Sáblíková, Jaromír Jágr and others. Just after reading these few lines and considering the general popularity of the brandAs such, one can assume that their products will be of exceptional quality. Unfortunately, this is not always the case.
But today we will not deal with Nutrend in general, but only with their multivitamin and multimineral, which definitely belong to the category of very high quality supplements. What makes them special and why are they better than most competing products? All this you will find out in the following review.
Content of the review
The first thing that probably comes to mind for most people is why there is a need to distribute vitaminsvitamins and minerals into two different supplements when other manufacturers put them into one? Is this just a marketing ploy to get more money out of people? It's not like that at all. Splitting nutrients according to when they are to be dosed is the ideal way to achieveto achieve the highest absorption and subsequent utilization of all substances.
Ingredients of the highest quality
Many manufacturers use cheap forms of active ingredients in their products that do not have such a wide spectrum of benefits and therefore the whole product loses its effectiveness. However, this is by no means true for a multivitamin or a multimineral from Nutrend. The manufacturer prides itself on premium quality and thanks to the chelate bonds, which are the most effective, there is nothing to fault the product. The biggest pluses in the composition include:
- 290 mg of vitamin C, which is essential for the proper functioning of the immune system and is also essential for musculoskeletal health.
- a spectrum of B vitamins, which are responsible for the proper digestion of carbohydrates, proteins and fats and are therefore essential for every athlete
- 10 mg of zinc, which is an element indispensable for the immune system, an important antioxidant and supports fertility
- 400 µg of folic acid, which enables the formation of nucleic acids and has a beneficial effect on the nervous system
In total, there are 18 substances in both tablets, which, although of high quality, are relatively small compared to the competition. Although there is basically nothing to fault here, there is also nothing extra to impress us in any way. It is certainly worth mentioning the content of colostrum, which also helps to improve immunity, green tea extract, which improves cognitive function, and other extracts.
Why dose vitamins and minerals separately?
As I mentioned above, splitting the substances into two tablets allows the body to process all the nutrients separatelyThe nutrients can be used more efficiently and thus their availability is much higher than if they were dosed together. Lipophilic vitamins need fats for proper digestion, so the vitamin capsule is taken in the morning with breakfast.
On the other hand, some minerals may interact with substances contained in food. For example, such zinc reacts badly with proteins, so it needs to be supplemented without food. Thus, the mineral capsule is taken in the evening before bedtime, when the ideal time istime to take the substance in the form of bisglycinate, which has a calming effect. This is an absolutely crucial difference to most other multivitamin supplements, becausein this case you can be really sure that no active ingredient will go to waste.
Great value for money
At first glance, it may seem that combining two products is not financially worthwhile. This is actually not true at all. If you dose both products as recommended by the manufacturer, together one daily dose will cost you . If we take into account the quality of the ingredients used, this price is really a great bargain. Moreover, one pack will last you for two whole months.
The quality composition is reflected in the effectiveness
After trying quite a lot of different vitamin supplements, I can safely say that I have no problem with them conscience, I can say that the multivitamin and multimineral from Nutrend are among the most effective. While taking them, my post-workout recovery was noticeably improved, my falling asleep time was shortened and my overall feeling during the day was also better.
In addition, despite frequent outdoor runs in freezing weather, I was not affected by any colds. Of course, no vitamin supplement serves as a cure, but only works as a prevention. Vitamin supplements help improve immunity, but they are not the only factor that affects it, so you should not rely on them in this regard as something that will never make you sick again.
Final summary and my opinion
Nutrend Multivitamin and Multimineral are supplements that will definitely not disappoint you. From the formulation to the final effect, these are one of the best options on the market. If I absolutely had to fault something, it would be the lack of more active ingredients that some other products offer. Thus, it is not the best multivitamin, but ultimately there is nothing to fault it. If you are thinking of buying it, I can only recommend it.
If you have any questions, feel free to ask in the comments, where you can also let us know your opinion on this product.
