Energy Gel is a gel of the highest quality with a premium composition that provides all the necessary ingredients to improve performance in your training and competitions.

We have also developed it with a fluid texture that will not cost you to swallow and will minimize gastrointestinal problems.

It contains an ideal matrix of three sources of carbohydrates, Maltodextrin, Dextrose and Fructose, in ratio 2:1:1.

Carbohydrate intake during sports practice has been shown to improve performance (Cermak, N.M.

et al., SM.

2013, Pochmuller, M.

et al., JISSN.

2016).

In addition, if the exercise is prolonged (>2.5 h), it has been shown that taking carbohydrates that are absorbed by different cellular transporters (known as GLUT) is the only way to increase the rate of assimilation and oxidation of exogenous carbohydrates above than 60 g/hour (Currell, K.

et al., MSSE.

2.008, Earnest, CP et al., JSCR.

2004).

In addition, something that few people know and/or many people forget is that the consumption of exogenous carbohydrates during physical activity minimizes the immunosuppressive effects produced by intense exercise (Nieman, DC et al., EIR.

1998).

But in addition to the combination of carbohydrates, our extraordinary formula has more added values ​​since we have also incorporated:

Minerals:

Better known as electrolytes or salts, especially sodium (Na), which is what we lose the most with sweat and is essential for maintaining hydration during physical activity (each gel provides approx.

110 mg) (NDA Panel.

EFSA Journal.

2011).

They also provide potassium (K) and magnesium (Mg), the loss of which could be involved in the appearance of muscle cramps, they have also been added in the form of highly bioavailable salts, such as for example, magnesium citrate.

Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs):

Taking these amino acids along with carbohydrates during training has been shown to decrease markers of muscle damage (Valentine, RJ et al., IJSNEM.

2008).

Branched-chain amino acids are also highly oxidized by the muscle, that is, they are used as an energy source, reducing the use of glycogen in favor of fat.

In addition, the intake of these amino acids during exercise decreases Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS), that is, it reduces the production of Serotonin (neurotransmitter related to symptoms of fatigue and mood) (Kerksick, CM et al., JISSN 2018).

Arginine:

This amino acid, in addition to being a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO), reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity.

Also, being a glucogenic amino acid, the muscle can use it as an extra energy source.

Taurine:

Among others, it has antioxidant, metabolic and ergogenic effects (Galloway, SDR et al., JAP.

2008).

Its intake together with the rest of the ingredients has been shown to improve muscle resistance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R.

el al., JCSR.

2008).

It stabilizes cell membranes by helping potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium pass through them (Bouckenooghe, T.

et al., CNMC.

2006).

And as all Crown Sport Nutrition® products with a spectacular taste and digestibility.
