Nutrition manages overall energy intake (macronutrients : proteins, carbohydrates, fats). Micronutrition focuses on the infinitely small : vitamins, minerals, trace elements and antioxidants. It does not provide direct energy but optimizes the chemical reactions (Krebs cycle, protein synthesis) essential to the performance and sustainable health of the athlete.

It all depends on the objective :

Before exercise : Magnesium and antioxidants to limit oxidative stress.
During : Electrolytes (Sodium, Potassium) to maintain osmotic balance.
After : Zinc and Vitamin D for protein synthesis and tissue repair.

They provide :

> Rapidly absorbable carbohydrates (e.g., maltodextrin, fructose) to maintain blood sugar levels and avoid hypoglycemia.
> Electrolytes (sodium, potassium, magnesium) to compensate for sweat loss and prevent cramps.
> Immediate and prolonged energy, especially during intense efforts (> 1 hour).

When to use them ?

> Prolonged efforts (> 60-90 min) : trail, marathon, cycling, hiking.
> Intense efforts : interval sessions, competition.
> Extreme conditions : heat, altitude (increased electrolyte requirements).

What are the advantages compared to a conventional diet ?

> Practical : Lightweight format, easy to carry and consume during exercise.
> Fast Digestion : Avoids stomach upset related to solid foods.
> Precise dosage : Controlled intake of carbohydrates (30 to 90 g/h) and electrolytes.

What are the risks of non-consumption ? 

> Early fatigue (depletion of glycogen stores).
> Cramps (electrolyte imbalance).
> Decreased performance (lack of energy available to the muscles).

> Energy : Reduction of fatigue (e.g. magnesium, B vitamins).
> Recovery : Reduction of aches and pains (e.g. BCAAs, glutamine).
> Performance : Improved endurance (e.g. beta-alanine, caffeine).
> Immunity : Strengthening of defenses (e.g. vitamin C, zinc).
> Muscle mass : Support for protein synthesis (e.g. creatine, leucine).

> Endurance (Running, Cycling)
- Active ingredients to be preferred : electrolytes, carbohydrates, BCAAs, antioxidants
- Benefits : Regular energy supply (delay fatigue), hydration (prevention of cramps), antioxidant action

> Strength Training
- Active ingredients to choose : BCAAs, Creatine, Whey protein
- Benefits : Strength, recovery, muscle synthesis.

No, micronutrition supplements (vitamins, minerals, amino acids) are not considered doping if they comply with the list of substances authorized by WADA (World Anti-Doping Agency). Always check for Informed-Sport, Sport Protect or NSF certifications for competitions.

Yes, but with caution :

Avoid overdoses, especially in terms of proteins (issues at the kidney level)

Useful synergies :

- Carbohydrates + electrolytes for endurance sports
- BCAAs for bodybuilding.
- Magnesium + vitamin B6 for recovery.

No! They complement a healthy diet. Priority to :

> Proteins : Meat, fish, eggs, legumes.
> Complex carbohydrates : Brown rice, sweet potato, quinoa.
> Healthy fats : Avocado, nuts, olive oil.
> Fruits and vegetables : For vitamins and antioxidants.

Why are minerals essential for tendonitis?

Tendonitis leads to inflammation and breakdown of collagen. Minerals such as magnesium, zinc, silicon and copper help to:

> Repair tendon tissue
> Reduce inflammation and local acidity
> Support collagen synthesis

Opt for citrates or bicarbonates (e.g., magnesium citrate, zinc bisglycinate, organic silicon) because:

> Better absorption than oxides or sulfates
> Alkalizing effect (fights against pro-inflammatory acidity)
