Cycling supplement guide - what to use?

Every sport is governed by its own rules! The athletes must adapt their diet to the specifics of a particular type of exercise in order to provide optimum support for the body. What about the supplementation in cycling? The Olimp Sport Nutrition brand has prepared a short guide for amateur and experienced cycling enthusiasts!

Cycling supplement guide – energy gels

A multi-kilometre-long cycling distance or an intensive race requires from the competitors a constant access to an easily absorbed energy source. In cycling, it is necessary to act quickly, so that athletes can provide the intensively working muscles with specific, beneficial nutrients in a short time. Fire Start Energy Gel from Olimp Sport Nutrition will prove to be a good solution. It is a product of a handy size, which allows you to "recharge the batteries" in a simple and convenient way and help reduce the growing level of fatigue. In addition to a mixture of maltodextrin and fructose, the gels contain valuable vitamin B1, minerals (magnesium, potassium and sodium) and additions in the form of BCAAs and an optimal dose of caffeine (from guarana seed extract). Fire Start Energy Gel is available in four sensational and richly fruity flavours.

Cycling supplement guide – isotonic drinks

An appropriate level of hydration during cycling is an extremely important issue in the context of maintaining the proper functioning of the body. During the race, the body loses a lot of water with sweat, in addition to many important vitamins and minerals. Muscles and the nervous system can very quickly start working improperly, which will soon lead to a decrease in energy levels and a gradual loss of energy. It is not difficult to guess that continuing to compete or train under such conditions causes more harm than good. That is why the Olimp Sport Nutrition brand has created a product designed for endurance sports enthusiasts. Iso Plus powder will allow you to prepare an incredibly fruity isotonic drink that contains essential vitamins and minerals and an optimal portion of pro-energetic carbohydrates. The formula has been additionally enriched with L-carnitine, a frequently used ingredient in products promoting fat loss.

Cycling supplement guide – creatine

Virtually every athlete can benefit from regular creatine supplementation. Its effect on ATP resynthesis promotes an increase in phosphocreatine content in the muscles. The systematic use of creatine may lead to an increase in physical performance in the case of short-term and intensive training, which will be a valuable addition to the preparation periods. In the case of cycling, Creatine Xplode Powder - a supplement providing the body with six different forms of creatine (malate, pyruvate, ethyl ester, alpha-ketoglutarate, magnesium chelate and citrate) - will prove to be a good solution. allowing for a multifaceted effect on the condition of the exercising person and working muscles. What is more, the product has been additionally enriched with taurine - an amino acid with a valuable effect on the body in the period of increased psychophysical fatigue.
