Our Isotonic is a sports replenishment drink with a plus of amino acids: Carbohydrate mix in a 2:1:1 ratio (Dextrose:Maltodextrin:Fructose) With a plus of Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and L-Glutamine With minerals from assimilable sources With anti-doping certificate by Informed-Sport Incredible taste and digestibility Suitable for Vegans and allergen free Nuetro Isotopic (Isodrink & Isodrink)nico (Isodrink & Energy) is a premium quality sports drink powder that provides all the ingredients necessary to not only maintain but improve performance in your training and competitions.
It has been proven that replenishing fluids along with carbohydrates and electrolytes (mineral salts) during exercise can prevent dehydration and therefore delay fatigue, resulting in improved performance (Wagenmakers, A.J., et al. JAP. 1993). Ingesting only water to replace lost fluids is no good, as this can lead to a dilution of the blood plasma and consequently to a decrease in osmolality and electrolytes, i.e. the opposite of the desired effect.
The same applies to using a drink with a high concentration of minerals, since this produces the opposite effect, i.e. an increase in plasma osmolality, a consequent reduction in the rate of sweating and, therefore, a reduction in thermoregulation capacity, i.e. an increase in body temperature (Gregor, R.J. et al....), Oxford: Blackwell Science; 2000), which not only reduces performance but also puts our health at risk. Isodrink & Energy contains an ideal matrix of three carbohydrate sources, Dextrose, Maltodextrin and Fructose, in a 2:1:1 ratio.
The use of carbohydrates that are absorbed by different transport systems (known as GLUT) has been shown to facilitate gastric emptying and fluid absorption during prolonged exercise (1.5 h or more).It is also the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above 60 g/hour (Currell, K., et al. et al, MSSE. 2008; Earnest, C.P. et al., JSCR. 2004). Also, something that few people know and/or many forget, is that the consumption of exogenous carbohydrates during physical activity minimises the immunosuppressive effects of intense exercise (Nieman, D.C. et al., EIR. 1998).
Minerals, better known as electrolytes or salts, in addition to the benefits already mentioned, also improve the antidiuretic effect, therefore, less liquid is eliminated by the kidney and as a consequence hydration is improved (Coso, J.D. et al., APNM. 2.008). The most important is sodium (Na), because it is the one we lose 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 assimilable form, potassium citrate.
As it is a very technical and advanced formula that is suitable for both beginners and the most experienced, we have incorporated Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA) and Glutamine, because it has been shown that the intake of these amino acids together with carbohydrates during training reduces the markers of muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., IJSNEM. 2008).
Also branched-chain amino acids (BCAA), especially leucine, are highly oxidised by the muscle, i.e. they are used as a source of energy, reducing the use of glycogen in favour of fats. Furthermore, the intake of these amino acids during exercise reduces Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), i.e. it reduces the brain's production of Serotonin (a neurotransmitter related to symptoms of tiredness and mood) (Kerksick, C.M. et al., JISSN. 2008). In addition, Glutamine intake has been shown to reduce gastrointestinal discomfort during exercise, due to improved intestinal permeability. To summarise and conclude, according to science, athletes should ingest 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. 2008).
And not forgetting that Isodrink & Energy is 100% safe as it is certified by Informed-Sport (Lemon and Red Fruit Flavours).
