When you think of "sports nutrition" what comes to mind? Is it Macronutrient split (the division of carbs, protein, and fats)? Or is it the vast variety of Protein supplements, fat burners, and pre and post-workout concoctions? These sports performance-driven supplements quite often cast a shadow over the importance of micronutrients. In reality, these vitamins and minerals are needed for the body to function properly at its most basic level.
