Potassium and magnesium contribute to normal muscle function, while vitamin C contributes to physiological energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.

Isomaltulose, patented as 'Palatinose ™', is a carbohydrate defined as 'intelligent' of natural origin, which supplies the energy of all carbohydrates (4kcal / g) in a more balanced way, thanks to its particular low glycemic index. Among its peculiarities is the improvement of fat oxidation during physical activity, further prolonging energy efficiency. In addition, a curious feature is the first non-cariogenic carbohydrate for teeth. Palatinose ™ is a disaccharide that is derived exclusively from the sucrose of non-genetically modified sugar beets, obtained through the enzymatic rearrangement of the glycosidic bond between glucose and fructose, where the difference compared to sugar consists in the particular bond between glucose and fructose units (alpha-glycosidic bond 1.6 instead of 1.2 in sucrose) where energy is released more slowly and not all at once.

Previous studies on enzyme kinetics have shown that, compared to immediately available sugars, such as sucrose or maltose, binding in the Palatine is ™ digested much more slowly by enzymes in the small intestine, and thanks to the slow but complete release in the intestine, it fully provides carbohydrate energy (4 kcal / g) in a more balanced way and over a longer period of time, But at the same time it provides the body with the same amount of carbohydrate energy as sucrose.

This translates into the fact that the athlete will be energetically supported in a slower, more constant and prolonged manner with a much longer glycemic curve, with blood sugar levels that will remain lower and more balanced, with a lower demand for insulin and a better metabolic profile. As a result, performance is maintained longer for sustained energy gain from carbohydrate oxidation where, unlike most sugars and starches, Palatinose ™ does not block fat burning. High levels of fat burning are desired in body weight control and may also be of interest in physical endurance activity, where optimal use of limited carbohydrate sources could be beneficial.

During intense and prolonged physical practice, even more emphasized in the hot season, with sweating there is the mechanism by which our body keeps body temperature under control and prevents it from increasing excessively, putting at risk the various functions. Vital physiological. Intense activity in the presence of high temperatures, it is possible to lose up to 4-5 liters of fluids per hour, with a high loss of precious electrolytes that, if not quickly restored, opens the doors to dehydration and all decompensations even severe appendages given by the loss of mineral salts such as sodium, chlorine, potassium and magnesium, which are indispensable for the balance of the organism. This imbalance can negatively affect physical performance. For this reason, especially in the summer and/or when intense physical activity is carried out, it is useful to support and reintroduce precious mineral salts that can be absorbed quickly and effectively to restore saline water balance and buffer dehydration. The supply of mineral salts in citrated form is preferable to other versions, as it is much more bioavailable to our organ and better tolerated. In fact, it should be borne in mind that different preparations based on some types of salts can favor the appearance of gastrointestinal problems with the consequent malabsorption and also worsen the same interruption (case of diarrhea) and performance itself.

WATTS'UP,® is a bioflavonoid complex naturally present in oranges that is rapidly bioavailable to our body. WATTS'UP helps aerobic capacity and anaerobic efficiency during physical exertion.
