Studies concerning the ergogenic value of Cantamega-2000 supply in top junior cyclists.

Abstract
The effects of vitamins, minerals and amino acids supply were recorded in a group of 20 top junior cyclists by a double blind, controlled trial for four weeks. Ten top junior cyclists received orally 1 tablet Cantamega-2000, daily at breakfast, as supplement of food, for four weeks, while other 10 junior cyclists (members of the same team), having the same program of training (2 hours daily on road, about 80 km), the same controlled food and being under medical supervision, received 2 tablets of Polivitaminizant S (Romanian product which contains 9 vitamins), also at breakfast. Significant and favourable changes were recorded in the group treated by Cantamega-2000 (vitamins, minerals, amino acids, selenium and others) for the total calcium, magnesium, haemoglobin and proteins in serum, comparing to the control group, which received Polivitaminizant S. At the same time we noticed a faster metabolic (urine mucoproteins) and fatigue recovery after Cantamega-2000 supply. Serum cholesterol and GPT did not change significantly in both groups. Based on these data, the authors recommend a supply of vitamins, minerals, amino acids and selenium ratio, by 1 tablet Cantamega-2000, daily at breakfast, including the days of competitions, for cyclists, in order to improve the biological potential of the body and accelerate recovery after exercise.
