Nutrisport Energy Boost Aspartame free - Virtually lactose free GM free and suitable for Vegetarians Great Taste – Easily Mixed Predigested whey protein isolate contains rapidly assimilated amino acids High in Branched Chain Amino Acids which are removed from muscle tissue and converted to glucose during high intensity exercise Clear in solution – avoids milk shake texture which upsets the stomach and diverts blood away from muscles, especially during hot weather CARBOHYDRATE + PROTEIN drink mix with electrolytes for BEFORE, DURING + AFTER EXERCISE Although Glycogen is Carbohydrate, research has shown that the most effective supplement is a 4:1 mixture of Carbohydrate and Protein. The two most important dietary needs before, during and after exercise are: Replacing body fluids Ð for this you need water and electrolytes Conserving/Replacing Muscle Glycogen At this low level of protein, gastric emptying is not slowed. The quick digestion and absorption of protein provides branched chain amino acids which stops the muscle protein itself being burnt up for energy (overtraining). It also increases the insulin response which drives the carbohydrate into the muscles. This blend can provide 24% - 29% greater increase in endurance than carbohydrate only drinks, and 57% greater than water alone. The graph shows that the most important time to replenish your muscles is during the hour after exercise, so that you are fully fit for your next session. This replenishment is important, whether you are an endurance athlete, power athlete, rugby or football player. This is essential if you train or compete more than twice a week.
