Product Information

After the race before you go off and celebrate you need to replace the fluid you have lost. Signs of dehydration include severe headaches, muscle cramps and extreme fatigue, none of which are pleasant. Drink at least 500 ml in the first 30 minutes after the race, and then keep sipping every 5 to 10 minutes until you are passing pale coloured urine again. The main reason for this is their ubiquitous whey powder Gold Standard, the most popular protein supplement on the market. But ON provides pills, powders, and potions for almost any requirement an athlete or a casual exerciser might need, and today we’re trying their branch chain amino acid supplement. Optimum Nutrition Amino Energy is one of the most popular BCAADrinkson the market. The supplement has multiple purposes when compared to other amino drinks. As ON amino energy is sugar-free and contains a green teamatrix, it can be consumed in the morning, pre workout,intra workoutor evenpost workout. WHAT’S IN OPTIMUM NUTRITION’S AMINO ENERGY DRINK?

Dietary supplements are not intended to replace a varied, balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle overall. Make sure you test out all of your nutrition strategies extensively leading up to the race so you know what works for you.Do not try anything new on race day and ideally have a test run in the weeks leading up to the race to find out what works for you to help you feel your best when you are at the start line. Ingredients: Do the amino acids and other ingredients come from quality sources? Are the formulas well-balanced and transparent? These contain between 75mg-150mg caffeine per serving or a piece or two of caffeine gum which contain 100mg of caffeine per piece. Again, this is very individual depending on your caffeine tolerance and body weight so I recommend testing what works in training leading up to the race. A nine-gram serving has ten calories and two grams of carbohydrate, which is actually pretty high for a BCAA supplement. Assuming that your client has loaded their muscles in the 24-36 hours prior to their start time, the aim of race day nutrition is topping up liver and muscle glycogen stores and hydrating adequately, while ensuring your client is not hungry or overly full at the start line.

There’s also 160 milligrams of caffeine (about as much as you’ll find in a cup and a half of coffee) made from green tea extract and green coffee extract. The green tea extract has been standardized for EGCG, which means it has retained a lot of the healthful phytonutrients found in green tea.But the ingredients list also has an “everything but the kitchen sink” feel to it — a lot of the amino acids feel kind of token. For example, it contains arginine, which is sometimes used as a vasolidator like citrulline. But they both compete for the same mechanism, so it doesn’t make much sense to include them both.
