When it comes to nutrition it’s hard to replace the nutrients found in wholefoods. However, because many farm raised crops have less and less vitamin and mineral composition, it’s important for active athletes to supplement with key minerals such as zinc, magnesium, potassium, etc. An athlete’s RDA requirements are higher than normal due to their increased activity levels from weightlifting, cardio, and active lifestyles. For these reasons, EVOVITE uses only the highest quality chelated minerals.
