Description
Energy Gel is a top quality gel with a premium composition that provides all the necessary ingredients to improve performance in your workouts and competitions. We have also developed it with a fluid texture that will not cost you to swallow and minimize gastrointestinal problems.It contains an ideal matrix of three carbohydrate sources, Maltodextrin, Dextrose and Fructose, in a ratio of 2:1:1.It has been shown that the consumption of carbohydrates during sports practice improves performance (Cermak, N.M. et al., SM. 2013; Pochmuller, M. et al., JISSN. 2016). Furthermore, if exercise is prolonged (> 2.5 h), it has been shown that taking carbohydrates that are absorbed by different cellular transporters (known as GLUTs) is the only way to increase the rate of exogenous carbohydrate uptake and oxidation above 60 g / hour (Currell, K. et al., MSSE. 2008; Earnest, CP et al., JSCR. 2004). In addition, what few people know and/or many forget is that the consumption of exogenous carbohydrates, during physical activity, minimizes the immunosuppressive effects produced by intense exercise (Nieman, D.C. et al., EIR. 1998), But in addition to the combination of carbohydrates, our extraordinary formula has more added values since we have also incorporated:Minerals: better known as electrolytes or salts, especially sodium (Na), which is the one we lose most with sweat and is essential to maintain hydration during physical activity (each gel provides about 110 mg) (Panel NDA . EFSA Journal. 2011). They also provide potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg), the loss of which could be involved in the occurrence of muscle cramps, and they have also been added in the form of highly bioavailable salts, such as magnesium citrate.Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs): the intake of these amino acids with carbohydrates during training has been shown to decrease markers of muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., IJSNEM. 2008). Furthermore, branched-chain amino acids are highly oxidized by the muscle, i.e., they are used as an energy source, reducing glycogen utilization in favor of fat. In addition, the intake of these amino acids during exercise reduces central fatigue syndrome (CFS), that is, it reduces the production of serotonin (a neurotransmitter related to symptoms of fatigue and mood) (Kerksick, CM et al., JISSN . 2.018).Arginine: this amino acid in addition to being a precursor of nitric oxide (NO), reduces the concentration of lactate and improves aerobic capacity. Taurine: among other things, it has antioxidant, metabolic and ergogenic effects (Galloway, S.D.R. et al., JAP. 2.008). Its consumption with the rest of the ingredients has been shown to improve muscular endurance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R. et al., JCSR. 2008). It stabilizes cell membranes by promoting the passage of potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium through them (Bouckenooghe, T. et al., CNMC. 2006).Caffeine and Guarana: in the versions with caffeine, we have added (in pure form and in the form of Guarana) the most effective ingredient for the direct improvement of performance, both in resistance and strength (Grgic, J. et al., BJSM. 2.019 ), caffeine. This, in addition to activating the Central Nervous System (CNS), delays fatigue and optimizes the use of cellular fuels (glycogen and fat). But most importantly, it improves muscle contraction (Lopes, J.M. et al., JAP. 1983), hence its effectiveness especially when fatigue begins.and like all products Crown Sport Nutrition® with a taste and digestibility spectacular.Ingredients with caffeine (Cola and red fruit): Water, maltodextrin, dextrose, fructose, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine), acidity regulator: citric acid; flavors, sea salt, magnesium citrate, L-arginine, L-taurine, guarana (Paullinia cupana), caffeine, potassium chloride, preservative: potassium sorbate.Ingredients without caffeine (Orange and Lemon): Water, maltodextrin, dextrose, fructose, branched-chain amino acids (BCAA) (L-leucine, L-isoleucine, L-valine), acidity regulator: citric acid; sea salt, magnesium citrate, L-arginine, L-taurine, potassium chloride, preservative: potassium sorbate; fragrance.Directions for use : take one gel approximately every 45 minutes of physical activity.Professional advice : If you also take Isodrink & Energy : take one gel approximately every hour of physical activity. After 3 hours, take a gel every 30 minutes (2 gels / hour).if you are NOT taking Isodrink & Energy: take a gel approximately every 30 minutes (2 gels / hour) of physical activity. After 3 hours, take a gel every 20 minutes (3 gels / hour).in this case, as a professional recommendation to avoid dehydration, we suggest taking about 1 capsule of PRO Salt Caps every 60 - 90 minutes of physical activity.Flavors WITHOUT caffeine: Lemon and OrangeFlavors WITH caffeine: Cola and BerriesSize: box of 10 gels of 40g
