Fructose – A super Carb for Athletes!

For athletes, a positive aspect of fructose metabolism is that, in combination with other simple sugars, fructose stimulates rapid fluid and solute absorption in the small intestine and helps increase exogenous carbohydrate oxidation during exercise, an important response for improving exercise performance.

 

MALTODEXTRIN FOR ENDURANCE ATHLETES

• Made up of chains of glucose molecules and has a high GI, meaning that energy is available quickly
• Oxidized quickly during exercise
• Reduce the risk of developing stomach complaints during prolonged exercise

The carbohydrate source in many energy drinks, is specifically selected maltodextrin. The particular size of molecule balances the amount of energy delivered versus how quickly it empties from the stomach. This means that you will feel the performance benefits of consuming a sport drink with maltodextrin faster with no stomach problems.

 

Cluster Dextrin ® – The King Of All Carb Supplements For Endurance

Cyclic Dextrin – The Fastest & perfectly absorbed carb type

 

Highly-branched cyclic-dextrin carbs are a soluble form of carbohydrate that’s perfect pre- and post-workout — powering your training and refuelling you after.

Cluster Dextrin is a low glycemic, highly branched cyclic dextrin (HBCD), which has a high molecular weight and ultra-low osmolality.

These properties of HBCD makes it highly soluble and promotes fast gastric emptying, virtually eliminating any gastric distress often associated with less advanced carbohydrates.

WHAT DOES CLUSTER DEXTRIN DO?

Cluster Dextrin also maintains a slow-release, offering the ideal interaction between carbohydrate breakdown and the normal release of free fatty acids.

The result is a superior carbohydrate that delivers smooth, constant energy and replenishes muscle glycogen stores without spiking blood sugar levels.

CLUSTER DEXTRIN BENEFITS

Cluster Dextrin® is research-proven to:

• Enhance endurance performance
• Promote fast gastric emptying times
• Lower markers for stress hormones after exhaustive exercise compared to other carbohydrate sources. No other carbohydrate source can demonstrate clinical data like this.

Research on cluster dextrin:

• In a 2013 human clinical trial of Cluster Dextrin®, 24 adult male athletes showed that during cycling exercise, the group administered 15 grams of Cluster Dextrin performed better than those who took the same amount of maltodextrin.
• An additional research study conducted in 2015 found swimmers who supplemented with HBCD before doing intervals at 75–90% VO2 max were able to improve time to exhaustion by 70% compared to when they supplemented with either water or glucose.
• Hiroshi et al. (2004) discovered subjects who consumed a sports drink based on 10% HBCD during bicycle exercise experienced few gastrointestinal disorders and consequently could continue the exercise comfortably with little fatigue compared to the groups who consumed a glucose-based sports drink.
• Lastly, a 2014 study conducted by Suzuki et al. found that triathletes who consumed HBCD before a race had a reduced stress hormone response and lower urinary cytokine levels compared to when they supplemented with glucose. This suggests that HBCD lowers the inflammatory response of exercise, which in turn leads to increases in performance and less time spent recovering.

Calcium Pyruvate – The Sport Calcium

WHAT IS CALCIUM PYRUVATE AND WHY DO YOU NEED IT?

The short answer is that Pyruvate is something that your body naturally produces to help break down glucose, also known as sugar, and starches in the body and converts them to energy. When it’s combined with the stability of calcium, you have one powerful fat burner. The body burns fat through a process called the Krebs Cycle.

 

THE BENEFITS OF CALCIUM PYRUVATE

Pyruvate is the foundation for the Kreb Cycle. The more pyruvate that is in the body, the faster the Kreb Cycle will work. Once the glucose and starches are broken down, the converted energy acts as a stimulant to shed excess fat. Pyruvate has been proven in clinical research to boost your metabolism and decrease your body weight when taken regularly. Taking the supplement enhances the effectiveness of what is already in your body and also aids in energy maintenance.

Calcium Pyruvate is already naturally present in many of the foods we eat such as apples and cheese. It’s also in some of our drinks like red wine and dark beer. However, it is naturally generated in such small quantities that it’s not a practical source for weight loss. For instance, you would need to eat 70 apples in order to obtain 5 measly grams of Calcium Pyruvate. 

That’s why the Calcium Pyruvate supplement, in addition to proper nutrition and exercise, is essential in helping increase and accelerate the fat loss process. This will help you to reduce your body’s ability to store those stubborn, unwanted extra pounds.

Benefits:

Overall, Calcium Pyruvate:

• Boosts your metabolism and increases your energy levels
• Breaks down the body’s fat and uses it as an energy source
• Helps retention of muscle building
• Contributes to the digestion of carbohydrates and antioxidant activity for anti-aging

 

HMB Free Acid – The real HMB

HMB (short for β-Hydroxy β-Methylbutyrate) is a metabolite of the amino acid Leucine that, along with KIC (α keto-isocaproate) and isovaleryl-CoA, mediate the effects of leucine. Approximately 5% of dietary leucine is oxidized into HMB, and HMB appears to be the main metabolite of leucine that more effectively prevents the breakdown of muscle protein.

When compared to leucine, HMB appears to be significantly more potent on a gram per gram basis at attenuating the rate of muscle protein breakdown but is less effective than leucine at inducing muscle protein synthesis. Due to this, HMB is marketed as an anti-catabolic agent (purposed to reduce the rate of muscle breakdown) rather than an anabolic agent (purposed to increase muscle mass).

Human trials don’t normally tend to be structured to properly assess the effects of HMB, as most of the studies are a standard diet paired with an exercise regimen investigating the role of HMB in promoting muscle protein synthesis (of which it is similar to leucine in the sense that there are positive results, but quite unreliably so); the limited evidence that assesses HMB during periods of muscle loss are either underpowered or not in athletes.

HMB, currently, appears to be a pretty interesting supplement for the purpose of reducing muscle wasting during periods where muscle atrophy is accelerated (cachexia, AIDS, bedrest) and should theoretically work in athletes on a calorie restricted diet but is not fully established for this role yet (which is a notable issue, since Glutamine has a large dichotomy between clinical and healthy populations)..

 

Sodium phosphate Dibasic 

…is the mineral salt of sodium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. Phosphate salts are involved in cell structure, energy transport and storage, vitamin function, and numerous other processes essential to health [1]. Some minerals may become deficient in response to prolonged exercise [1]. Exercise capacity may be reduced if mineral status is insufficient and supplementing with minerals has been generally accepted to improve exercise capacity [1].

 

Can sodium phosphate and weight loss:

Sodium phosphate has been categorised as thermogenic agent as its supplementation is said to increase resting energy expenditure (via increased thermogenesis) and may therefore serve as a potential weight loss nutrient [2].

 

Sodium phosphate and performance:

Sodium phosphate loading (1000 mg 4 times daily) has been shown to influence the maximal and run performance in seven male competitive runners [3]. Phosphate loading also significantly increased maximal oxygen uptake (6–12%) [3], which was also noted in another study conducted on 10 well-trained distance runners [4]. Studies are also reporting improved endurance performance in competitive cyclists [5].

Although this data is impressive and suggests that sodium phosphate may be highly effective in improving endurance exercise capacity, but the results are still equivocal. However, no studies have noted a decrease in performance [6]. Many confounding variables were identified by Tremblay and others [7] and recommended that more controlled research needed to be done.
