For any athlete or active person, regular training is not just a habit but a necessity. However, high physical loads create an increased demand for nutrients. Even a perfectly balanced diet isn’t always able to fully cover the body’s need for vitamins and minerals, especially under stress and intense training. That’s why a vitamin and mineral complex becomes an indispensable part of sports nutrition. Which vitamins are critically important for achieving maximum results, increasing endurance, and accelerating recovery?
MST Nutrition offers a wide range of high-quality complexes developed to meet the specific needs of athletes. You can find the necessary supplements by visiting the Vitamins and Minerals category on the Ukrainian website or Vitamins and Minerals on the German website.
The Fundamental Role of Vitamins in Sports Metabolism
Vitamins are not just “supplements,” but indispensable cofactors involved in thousands of biochemical reactions. Their role is critical for athletes, as they directly influence energy metabolism, muscle function, nervous system activity, and the body’s ability to regenerate. Without sufficient levels of vitamins and minerals, training effectiveness decreases, and the risk of injury and illness increases. Vitamins for athletes must be as complete and balanced as possible.
A basic complex, such as MST® All Vitamins or MST® Vitamin Kick, provides up to 100% of the daily norm of key micronutrients necessary for proper metabolism and increasing vitality. These complexes are ideal for general boosting immunity and supporting the body during high loads, offering a powerful and maximally complete vitamin and mineral complex.

Key Vitamins and Minerals for Athletes
Among all the variety, special attention should be paid to several groups of vitamins and minerals that have the greatest impact on sports performance:
B Vitamins: Energy and Nervous System
B vitamins (B1, B2, B3, B5, B6, B7, B9, B12) are indispensable for athletes, as they play a central role in energy metabolism. They help convert carbohydrates, fats, and proteins into energy (ATP), which directly affects endurance and training effectiveness. Additionally, they contribute to the normal functioning of the nervous system, reduce fatigue, and increase the body’s resistance to stress. MST® B-Complex Professional: A complex of B vitamins in increased doses for health and energy balance. MST Nutrition complexes contain a full spectrum of these vitamins, promoting normal energy metabolism.
Vitamin C and Antioxidant Protection
Vitamin C is one of the most powerful antioxidants. Intensive training leads to increased formation of free radicals, which cause oxidative stress, damage muscle cells, and slow down recovery. Vitamin C helps protect cells from this damage, boosts immunity, and is essential for collagen formation, which is important for the strength of bones and connective tissue (including joints). Specialized forms, such as MST® Vitamin C 1000 mg (Calcium L-ascorbate), do not irritate the stomach and are better absorbed. Learn more in the Vitamin C category on the Ukrainian website or Vitamin C on the German website.
Vitamin D3: Bones, Muscles, and Immunity
Vitamin D3 (calciferol) is a unique adaptive immunomodulator that affects not only bone density and muscle tone but also enhances innate immunity. For athletes, it is critically important for strengthening bone tissues (along with calcium) and maintaining muscle tone. Its intake is especially relevant during periods of reduced sun activity. Complexes like MST® Vitamin D3 1000 IU provide the required dose. Learn more in the Vitamin D or Vitamin D category.
Zinc and Iron: Hormones and Hematopoiesis
Among the minerals for athletes, **Zinc** plays a key role. It is necessary for boosting collagen synthesis, wound healing, supporting immunity, and, in men, for increasing testosterone levels. The complex MST® Vitamin C + D3 + ZINC combines three powerful components for immune protection. **Iron** and copper are responsible for hemoglobin levels, which directly affects oxygen transport to muscles and, consequently, endurance.
Specialized Complexes: For Men and Women
Given the physiological differences, there are specialized vitamin and mineral complexes that better meet the needs of a body undergoing stress.
Vitamins for Male Athletes
Men’s complexes, such as Healthy by MST® Men’s Health Vitamins or MST® Vitamins for MAN + Tribulus, often contain components to support high testosterone levels, muscle mass, and enhanced sexual health. They include: plant extracts (ginseng, tribulus, fenugreek) for boosting energy potential and endurance, as well as amino acids (glutamine, taurine, arginine) for accelerating metabolism and muscle mass growth.

Vitamins for Female Athletes
Women’s complexes, such as Healthy by MST® Women’s Health Vitamins or MST® Vitamins for WOMEN, are focused on supporting hormonal balance, bone health (due to increased fragility), and the beauty of skin, hair, and nails. They are often enriched with iron (considering physiological losses), Biotin (important for collagen), and antioxidants (Lycopene, Coenzyme Q10, Hyaluronic Acid) for comprehensive rejuvenation and fighting oxidative stress. Learn more: For Women Category.
Additional Important Components
Modern complexes for athletes are often supplemented with substances that enhance the overall effect:
- Alpha-Lipoic Acid (ALA): A powerful antioxidant that enhances the action of other vitamins (C and E), regulates fat metabolism, and improves glucose absorption. Included in MST® Vitamin Kick.
- Inositol and Choline: Support healthy hormonal balance, improve insulin resistance, and protect the liver from fat accumulation.
- Green Tea Extract and Spirulina: Antioxidants that **boost immunity**, stimulate fat oxidation, and increase metabolism rate.
- Lycopene and Cranberry Extract: Phenolic antioxidants that support vascular health and have anti-inflammatory effects.
