Intra Workout Booster

The intra-workout products category includes all products that are intended for consumption during training. These products are designed to maintain or enhance your performance during exercise, accelerate recovery during exercise, delay the onset of fatigue and prevent a catabolic environment that promotes muscle breakdown. In other words, intra-workout products bridge the gap between pre-workout products, which are consumed before training, and post-workout products, which are used after training to help you get the most out of your workout.

How do intra-workout products work during training?

There are a variety of active ingredients and mechanisms of action through which intra-workout products can work, with most products covering a range of these different mechanisms. Here is a brief overview:

• Hydration and mineral balance can be maintained by supplying minerals and trace elements excreted through sweat, as well as ingredients such as glycerol and taurine.
• By consuming branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), essential amino acids (EAAs), glutamine and rapidly digestible whey protein hydrolyzate during training, training-induced catabolic muscle breakdown can be prevented. Added B vitamins such as vitamin B6 can further improve the utilization of these amino acids.
• High molecular weight carbohydrates such as waxy maize starch, as well as ingredients such as L-carnitine, malate and beta-alanine can increase endurance during exercise and delay the onset of fatigue.
• Nitric oxide-boosting ingredients such as arginine, citrulline and others can increase muscle pump, blood flow and nutrient delivery to working muscles. - Stimulants such as caffeine, synephrine and higenamine can increase training energy and improve training performance.
• A combination of creatine and high molecular weight carbohydrates can increase ATP resynthesis during exercise and provide much-needed carbohydrates, thereby preserving muscle glycogen stores.

What are the main benefits of intra-workout products when used during training?

• Maintaining performance during training
• Increased training energy
• Accelerated recovery and regeneration between training sets
• Delaying exhaustion
• Prevention of catabolic muscle breakdown
• Improve hydration
• Compensation of electrolyte loss via sweat
• Improves muscle pump and blood flow to the muscle tissue
