The main fuel for prolonged, intense endurance events is carbohydrates and the amount of carbohydrate that is stored in the body is one of the main determinants of performance . As such, it is important that carbohydrate stores are maximised before endurance exercise and that during prolonged exercise where this stores are depleted, additional carbohydrate is consumed to maintain performance and avoid fatigue . Consuming carbohydrates will help to maintain blood glucose and replenish muscle glycogen . If no carbohydrates are consumed, muscle glycogenwill be depleted after approx. 90 minutes of exercise and severe fatigue may occur.

The amount of carbohydrate that you should take on during exercise will depend on the length of your training or competition.

• Exercises < 1h : not necessary to consume carbohydrates during exercise.
• Exercises 1-2h: 30-60g carbohydrates per hour exercise.
• Exercises 2-3h: 60-90g carbohydrates per hour exercise.
• Exercises >3h: 90-120g carbohydrates per hour exercise.

The benefit of an Energy Gel compared to a carbohydrate-rich drink is that a gel is a highly concentrated source of carbohydrates (isotonic drink: 4-8% carbohydrates; energy drink: 8-15% carbohydrates; energy gel 40-80% carbohydrates). Compared to an Energy Bar, a gel will be absorbed much faster because it contains no protein or fat that slows emptying of the stomach. Caffeine is a natural substance, a stimulant, found in the leaves, seeds, beans, and fruits of certain plants. The main sources of caffeine in our diet are tea, coffee, chocolate, and cola. This gel contains 80 mg of caffeine, which stimulates concentration and alertness during exercise.

Who will benefit from the PRO LINE Energy Gel + Caffeine Due to the fact that this gel contains a high amount carbohydrates, it is suitable all athletes who perform (extremely) long endurance efforts (minimally 2-3 hours): cyclists, triathletes, duathletes, long-distance runners, trail runners, long-distance swimmers, … The caffeine present stimulates alertness and concentration during exertion.

Why a 1:0.8 carb ratio?

Ultra-endurance athletes and well-trained endurance athletes often consume larger amounts of carbohydrates during efforts lasting longer than 3 hours, sometimes up to 120g per hour. During intense exercise, the body can absorb a maximum of approximately 60g of glucose per hour from the intestines due to saturation of the glucose transporter. For prolonged efforts exceeding three hours, this can become a limiting factor, as the carbohydrate requirement is higher than 60g per hour. By consuming different types of carbohydrates, such as glucose and fructose, simultaneously, total carbohydrate absorption can increase to 90g per hour or more, since these sugars are absorbed through two different intestinal transporters.

Studies show that at intakes exceeding 90g of carbohydrates per hour, ratios closer to an equal amount of glucose and fructose, such as 1:0.8, may be even more effective and are therefore preferred. This is partly because a greater proportion of the ingested carbohydrates can be effectively used as energy without exceeding the capacity of the glucose transporter. Additionally, this ratio slightly reduces the risk of gastrointestinal issues when consuming such high amounts of carbohydrates.

The PRO LINE Energy Gel + Caffeine contains 50 g multi-transportable carbohydrates in this most optimal 1:0.8 ratio of glucose:fructose and optimally utilizes different absorption pathways. This makes it ideal for endurance athletes who perform at high intensity for extended periods and aim for a maximum carbohydrate intake of up to 120g per hour.

Beet It Regen Cherry + is 70ml shot containing concentrated sour cherry juice (58%) and concentrated beetroot juice (42%). Developed specifically to be consumed both before and after an event to promote recovery, each shot contains 60 whole sour cherries on average,using concentrated juice from pressed whole cherries rather than cherry extract.

Supplementation of sour cherry juice has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, including reduced symptoms of,or enchanced recovery,from muscle damaging exercise such as delayed onset muscle soreness. Beet It Regen Cherry +  requires no dilution,which makes it quick and convenient to consume on-the-go.

Key Features

• Pre-Covery – consume 1 shot on the day of training and up to the three days before and two days after competition.
• Recovery – Sour cherry juice concentrate has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects, including reduced symptoms of, or enchanced recovery, from muscle damaging exercise as recognised by the international Olympic Committee.
• Combined Antioxidants – Beet It Regen Cherry+ combines antioxidants from sour cherry juice concentrate (prunus cerasus) and beetroot juice concentrate. This potent combination is designed to support exercise recovery through its unique antioxidant content.
• Nitrate content – each shot provides approximately 125mg of nitrate derived solely from the concentrated beetroot juice. While this is lower than our Nitrate 400 shot, Regen Cherry+ is focused on its powerful antioxidant profile to support recovery rather than nitrate levels to power performance.
• Convenience – Unlike other sour cherry products,Beet It Regen Cherry+ does not need to be diluted with water meaning it is quick and convenient for on-the-go consumption.
• Trusted – Beet It Regen Cherry+ carries the Informed-Sport logo,which means the products have been tested by LGC’s world -class sports anti-doping laboratory.

During short, maximum efforts , lasting only a few seconds, our major sources of energy are the high-energy phosphates in the muscles: adenosine triphosphate (ATP) and phosphocreatine. Muscles only have a limited amount of ATP, merely enough to sustain an intensive effort of 2 seconds. After that the muscle will break down phosphocreatine into creatine and ATP to keep up the effort. The amount of phosphocreatine present in human muscles is enough to sustain a one off moderate effort during about 15 seconds.

Creatine is a substance which occurs naturally in the body and is mainly produced in the liver. In addition, omnivore individuals also absorb 1g of creatine per day from eating meat and fish.

It has been demonstrated that muscle creatine can be increased by about 20% in both untrained and well-trained individuals by means of chronic creatine supplementation. By increasing the amount of phosphocreatine in the muscles, the muscles will have more fuel to enhance the performance during short intensive exercise.The Creatine 3000 supplement also contains glutamine and taurine – two key amino acids.

Creapure® is the best and purest form of creatine monohydrate on the market. It is also the most studied form of creatine and studies show that it is safe and effective.

Who can benefit from Creatine?

It has been demonstrated that creatine can be performance-enhancing for:

• repeated sprints or intensive exercise (< 30s) with short breaks (< 1min), during which the ATP-CP system is active (e.g. sprint, swimming, basketball, football, tennis, cycling,  rugby, etc.);
• in combination with strength training for an increase of muscle strength and muscle mass. Athletes can perform more repetitions per series and recover faster in between series
