Dr. Katahdin treats each athlete as an individual – everyone needs a very specific set of supplements and/or sports fuels to achieve and maintain optimal health. Outlined here are some of our most commonly useful sports-specific medicinary items.

At AthletiZen our supplement philosophy is that they should treat the cause of problems, not simply manage symptoms of disease or injury. These products are made up of natural ingredients with the highest standards in the industry. We work with many different lines of products because we aim to find the best available item in every category. There are many products available at the health food store, Trade Joes or even grocery stores that are very good – we will always work with you to determine where and how to get the most affordable and quality product for you. Our products are often of superior quality, and usually at or below the prices available elsewhere - together here for your convenience.


 

All items are available at the AthletiZen store, and Metagenics brand products may also be purchased online via the link on this page. Dr. Katahdin provides these products to make her patients feel comfortable about the quality of the supplements they take – the FDA does not regulate this industry and products available over the counter are often of unpredictable quality. Most of the items you see here are available only through licensed health professionals.

Metagenics is an outstanding manufacturer of Nutriceuticals, based right here in San Clemente, CA. They ship next day, and if your order is more than $101 they won't charge you shipping unless you order something that requires refrigeration. These items do not come from our office, just set up an account directly with them.

 
     
 

Endura: This sports drink is made by Metagenics and is an excellent alternative to Gatorade and other mass marketed electrolyte replacement drinks. It is free of artificial colors, flavors and high fructose corn syrup. It is designed to be used together with other sources of energy (calories) if your workout warrants that. Great mild taste.

EPA-DHA Extra Strength: High quality fish oil supplement with higher dose in fewer pills, no fishy flavor. Essential fatty acids from fish improve overall cellular function and reduce inflammation due to exercise, take between 1-3 grams per day.

EZ Flex: Simple, effective combination of nutrients for muscle overuse and acute injury.

ChrondroCare: Joint support including glucosamine.

Mitochondrial Resuscitate: Useful for increasing intracellular energy production. This product is great in conjunction with treatment for athletes who feel more fatigued than they should.

Collagenics: Designed to support collagen throughout the body. Excellent support for skin, tendons, ligaments, cartilage and bone when athletes experience pain or stiffness.

Endura Optimizer: Recovery drink with electrolytes, carbs and protein. This is basically a fancy bells-and-whistles powdered version of the chocolate milk we all love to drink for recovery immediately following a good workout.

Myocalm PM: Herbs and nutrients that are blended together beautifully to relax muscles that spasm or cramp. Taken at bedtime, it helps you fall asleep after overexertion.

Inflavonoid Intensive Care: Excellent anti-inflammatory, antioxidants, pain relief. For Weekend Warrior syndrome – when we overdo it and then feel like we’ve been hit by a truck. Essential for optimal recovery.

BAM: Amino acid supplementation for imperfect diets. This is the base formula for the prescription amino acid formulas Dr. Katahdin prescribes after labwork for individual deficiencies. Very useful for improving nerve conduction and building lean muscle mass.

Magnesium Glycinate: This is the best form of magnesium for muscle support – other forms are mostly lost in the digestive tract and don’t make it all the way to muscles.

Spectra B: High potency B vitamin complex to improve adrenal function, heal muscle damage and improve energy during the day. The dose is what makes this B complex special – you’d have to take ten pills from the grocery store to get what’s in one of these capsules.
