Trek bike supplementation guide  | - hydration (drinking regime), muscle mass protection (BCAA)
Hydration - drink 400 - 600 ml of liquids about 2 - 3 hours before activity, drink last dosage (350 ml) 45 minutes before activity the latest, e.g.
ISODRINX - hypotonic solution (full measuring glass dissolved in 700 ml of water) or UNISPORT.
Muscle mass protection - ENDURO BCAA - BCAA protects muscle mass since the muscle uses as source of energy externally supplied BCAA and it does not use own muscle mass which is thus protected. Other added functional substances (carnitine, alanine and carnosine) supports BCAA usage, decreases acidity of organism and protects body against overheating and thus against cramps. Use 3 capsules of ENDURO BCAA
45 minutes pre-performance.

 | - hydration (drinking regime - liquids, minerals and carbohydrates supply), energy (carbohydrates supply)
Hydration - sufficient intake of liquids provides better transport of nutrients into working muscles and it also takes away metabolic waste (metabolites) and heat from muscles (prevention of organism overheating - prevention of cramps). Drink in regular intervals. Drink each 15 - 20 minutes 150 - 350 ml of hypotonic solution of ISODRINX.
Energy - body during performance dominantly uses carbohydrates as source of energy which are available in restricted amount. If all the supply of carbohydrates is used then the rapid blood sugar level decrease appears (hypoglycemia) and then radical decrease of performance appears, too. Average carbohydrates usage is about 30 - 60 g of carbohydrates per hour which should be supplied to body. Do never supply more then 30 g of carbohydrates at once.

 | - drinking regime (lost liquids supply), recovery (carbohydrates and amino acids)
Drinking regime - you will never be able to supply all liquids lost during performance by sweating and that is why you should post-performance supply about 150 % of liquids you lost during performance. If you lose 1 kg of human weight during performance, you should within 2 hours after performance drink about 1,5 l of liquids (e.g. hypotonic solution of ISODRINX or UNISPORT). Recovery - muscle mass is after performance devastated and the body is burdened by metabolites created during muscle work and that is why you should supply the body with lost nutrients and carbohydrates and amino acids to provide start of quality and fast organism recovery. Use thus within 20 minutes after performance 2 capsules of ENDURO BCAA and drink 500 ml of REGENER. |
