Drinking only water to replenish lost fluids is not enough

It has been proven that replenishing fluids along with carbohydrates and electrolytes (mineral salts) during exercise can prevent dehydration and thus delay fatigue, leading to improved performance (Wagenmakers, A.J., et al. JAP. 1993).

“Drinking only water to replace fluids can dilute plasma and reduce osmolality and electrolytes, achieving the opposite of the desired effect. Likewise, a drink with a high concentration of minerals increases plasma osmolality, reduces sweating and thermoregulation, raising body temperature (Gregor, R.J. et al., 2000). This not only affects performance but can also pose a health risk.”

Carbohydrates: Dextrose, Maltodextrin and Fructose

Isodrink & Energy includes a 2:1:1 matrix of Dextrose, Maltodextrin and Fructose. In prolonged exercise (over 1.5 h), this combination improves gastric emptying and fluid absorption, allowing for carbohydrate assimilation above 60 g/h (Currell, K., 2008; Earnest, C.P., 2004). Exogenous carbohydrates also help reduce the immunosuppressive effects of intense exercise (Nieman, D.C., 1998).

Electrolytes & salts

Minerals, better known as electrolytes or salts, in addition to the previously mentioned benefits, also enhance the antidiuretic effect, leading to less fluid excretion by the kidneys and therefore improving hydration (Coso, J.D. et al., APNM. 2008).

Sodium

The most important is sodium (Na), as it is the one we lose the most through sweat and is essential for maintaining hydration during physical activity (NDA Panel. EFSA Journal. 2011). It also provides potassium (K) in adequate proportions and in a highly bioavailable form, potassium citrate.

BCAAs & Glutamine

This advanced formula, suitable for all levels, includes BCAAs and Glutamine. The combination of amino acids with carbohydrates reduces markers of muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., 2008) and decreases glycogen usage by promoting fat oxidation. It also minimizes Central Fatigue Syndrome by reducing serotonin (Kerksick, C.M. et al., 2018). Glutamine improves intestinal permeability, reducing gastrointestinal discomfort.

As a summary and conclusion, science tells us that athletes should consume carbohydrate and electrolyte solutions to maintain blood glucose levels, prevent dehydration, and reduce immunosuppressive effects during intense physical activity (Kerksick, C.M. et al., JISSN. 2018).

And don’t forget that Isodrink & Energy is 100% safe as it is anti-doping certified by Informed-Sport (Lemon and Red Fruits flavors).
