DESCRIPTION Elite Athlete, provided by Douglas
Laboratories®, is a synergistic and
comprehensive combination of vitamins,
minerals and other nutrients, carefully
formulated and specifically designed to support
the body’s normal defenses against excess free
radical production associated with strenuous
aerobic exercise.
FUNCTIONS Studies show that a high percentage of adults in
North America and other developed countries
eat less than the minimum daily allowance of 10
or more essential nutrients. Adequate amounts
and proper balance of these nutrients are
needed not only for maintaining good health, but
also for the dietary management of the body’s
structure as well as the optimum functioning of
its various systems, including energetics. Elite
Athlete has been carefully developed to contain
the right proportions of vitamins, minerals, and
other nutrients without the danger of toxic buildup
or of side effects. Each ingredient is selected
in consideration of its absorbability, competitive
relationship with other nutrients, allergenic
potential, and long-term safety. Certain nutrients
such as beta-carotene, vitamin C, vitamin E and
B-complex vitamins are included in high potency
amounts because of the vital roles they play in
energy production, antioxidant protection, and
maintenance of healthy blood cells, nervous
system, hormone balance and more.
Elite Athlete contains additional nutrients
specifically formulated to support optimal tissue
structure and function. Research has shown that
strenuous aerobic exercise can be associated
with oxidative stress and suboptimal tissue
structure and function in the body. Exercise
above the threshold levels of one hundred and
fifty fitness points per week or working at 80%
of predicted maximum heart rate for at least 5
hours per week may greatly increase the body’s
production of excess free radicals, which can
result in unwanted changes to the body’s tissues
and cause cells to becomes more susceptible to
aging.Elite Athlete has been specially designed
by Dr. Kenneth H. Cooper. Dr. Cooper, known
as the “Father of Aerobics,” has been the
international authority on physical fitness for
nearly 40 years. Elite Athlete has been specially
designed to support the body’s normal defenses
against excess free radical production
associated with strenuous aerobic exercise.
INDICATIONS Elite Athlete Multi-Vitamin may be a useful
dietary supplement for those who wish to
maintain the healthy functioning of their bodies
while undergoing the stresses of strenuous
aerobic exercise.
