Sport Nutrition: Important nutrients for sports

For those who enjoy playing sports, especially sports that require extra strength and endurance, such as running, cycling, and swimming, it is essential to obtain vital nutrients to increase energy and maintain strength.

There are many important nutrients for athletes, from carbohydrates, fats, proteins, minerals, vitamins, and water, which have different functions and are complemented by each other to perform their functions more efficiently.

Therefore, athletes need to have a diet complete with all 5 food groups and ensure intake of all important nutrients for the system to function effectively.

As a global food and amino acid product manufacturer Ajinomoto Co., Inc., Japan has always been devoted to food education to improve people's health and nutrition through innovation and technology in amino acids, which has always been the Company's core expertise.

Since 2003, the Company has started to play a role in the development of sports through the Victory Project by bringing the Company Group's amino acid products to support Japanese athletes during training and compete abroad.

With excellent results, the Company has extended its sponsorships to other events such as the Rio 2016 Olympic Games in Brazil, the SEA Games and the 2017 ASEAN Para Games in Malaysia, as well as the Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games in Japan.

In Thailand, the Company provides support via the subsidiary company, Ajinomoto (Thailand) Co., Ltd. through the Asian Victory Project, starting by the support of nutrition for Thai national volleyball players and Thai national badminton players.

Based on the excellent feedback in 2017, the Company decided to launch the product Amino Vital which is available and distributed in Thailand to provide athletes and fitness enthusiasts with easy access to the product.

This reinforces the Company's unwavering commitment to focus on nutrition in order to contribute to the development and promotion of potentials of Thai athletes and fitness enthusiasts to receive more complete nutrition.
