Counting macros is one of the latest health fads, and while they’re important, micronutrients are, too. Micronutrients are trace nutrients that our bodies need in order to thrive, though we need them in small amounts. Think milligrams instead of grams!

Micronutrients include both vitamins and minerals:

  • Vitamins C, A, D, E, and K
  • B-complex vitamins
  • Selemnium
  • Iodine
  • Sodium
  • Copper
  • Zinc
  • Iron

How to Increase Micronutrients in Your Diet

Micronutrients can be found in both food and supplements. Eating a diet rich in whole foods will provide you with many of the micronutrients you need.

Another way to think of this is “eating the rainbow”. Focusing on different colors of food, like leafy greens, carrots, red peppers, tomatoes, and more can increase your micronutrient intake.

In some cases, our body needs additional support. This is where supplementation comes in. High quality, pure supplements can support vitamin and mineral absorption, and can be just what you need to feel your best.

For example, if your hair is weak and brittle, Biotin can support hair growth. If you’re always tired, consider getting tested for anemia, which can help helped with Iron. (Always consult your doctor before beginning a supplement regimen.)

Micronutrients for an Active Lifestyle

An active lifestyle requires a diet full of both micronutrients and macronutrients. For the days when you need a quality recovery but aren’t near the kitchen, a recovery drink can be the perfect replacement.

Our Collagen Sport Ultimate Recovery Complex is built to support muscle recovery, addressing the critical connective tissue many people underestimate. Most sports nutrition products are designed to build muscle mass, but most injuries come from weakened connective tissue. Full spectrum support with Vitamins and Minerals can help.*

Collagen Sport offers an Anabolic Muscle Complex of Pure Ion Exchange Whey Protein Isolate, BCAAs, and L-Glutamine for muscle development as well as a power house dose of BioActive NeoCell CollagenTM to support and strengthen connective tissues.*

Oh, and did we mention the flavors? Collagen Sport comes in both Belgian Chocolae and French Vanilla. Delicious.

Helping your body recover properly ensures you can stay active for years to come. Whether you choose to track your macros or not, focusing on including micronutrients in your diet can help your body remain strong and help you feel your best.
