This combination improves athletic performance and, during long exercise (\u0026gt;2.5 h), allows greater carbohydrate absorption and oxidation above 60 g\/h (Currell, K., 2008). In addition, consuming carbohydrates during exercise helps reduce the immunosuppressive effects of intense exertion (Nieman, D.C., 1998).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003eWe have also added:\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMinerals\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe electrolytes in these energy gels, including sodium (110 mg per gel), potassium and magnesium, help maintain hydration and prevent muscle cramps during physical activity (EFSA, 2011). Magnesium in citrate form and the other minerals are highly bioavailable to ensure rapid absorption and effective support for performance and muscle recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBranched-chain amino acids (BCAAs)\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003eTaking amino acids with carbohydrates during training reduces muscle damage (Valentine, R.J. et al., 2008). Branched-chain amino acids are also oxidized in muscle and used for energy, thereby preserving glycogen. Their intake during exercise also helps reduce Central Fatigue Syndrome (CFS) by reducing serotonin, a neurotransmitter linked to tiredness and mood (Kerksick, C.M. et al., 2018).\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch6\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eArginine\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h6\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn addition to being a precursor of Nitric Oxide (NO), this amino acid reduces lactate concentration and improves aerobic capacity. Because it is a glucogenic amino acid, muscle can also use it as an additional energy source.

Taking it with the other ingredients has been shown to improve muscular endurance during exercise (Hoffman, J.R. et al., JCSR. 2008). It stabilizes cell membranes and helps potassium, sodium, calcium and magnesium pass through them (Bouckenooghe, T. et al., CNMC. 2006).

Caffeine activates the central nervous system, delays fatigue and optimizes the use of glycogen and fat. It also improves muscle contraction, with particular effectiveness once fatigue begins (Lopes, J.M., 1983). Ideal for enhancing training and competition.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAnd, like all Crown Sport Nutrition® products, they offer outstanding flavor and digestibility.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavors WITHOUT caffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Lemon and Orange\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFlavors WITH caffeine:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cola and Red Fruits\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFormat:\u003c\/strong\u003e box of 12 energy gels of 40 g\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch4\u003eWHY CROWN SPORT NUTRITION?
