Xtend-Life Sports Specific Natural Supplements and Skin Care Products

There are so many types of sports available today, ranging from athletics (pure physical) to mixed such as chess boxing, to new such as e-sports (gaming) - every sport, be it professional or casual, has it's own stresses and demands that differ from another sport.

This means that the natural health supplements and skin care needs differ from one sport to another e.g. a person who loves basketball vs a person who loves to play DOTA2 (Defense Of The Ancients 2) - they have very different health supplements and skin care needs.

There are more than 500+ sports and games listed (non-exhaustive) here, with a short description about the games and also with specific recommendations for Xtend-Life natural health supplements and skin care products based on the stresses/demands that players undergo.

Note: I occasionally enjoy a solo or co-op game or two of DOTA2 (I usually play with my brother), and I can say that I enjoy DOTA2 quite a bit =D
