Energy challenges in the mountains and ultra-distance
When you venture into mountainous terrain or embark on ultra-distance events, the body demands a different energy source than that required in shorter distances like a 10K or even a marathon. These activities are more leisurely, with lower heart rate peaks, which requires a nutritional strategy adapted to hours of continuous effort.
The innovation of 226ERS: Sub9 Energy Drink
In the world of sports nutrition, the relaunch of the Sub9 Energy Drink by 226ERS stands out. This product stands as a market-leading option, backed by 14 years of history and rigorous testing. Specifically designed for training and competitions of more than four hours, it is the ideal choice for ultra-distance lovers.
Sub9 Energy Drink offers a precise combination of nutrients, with 38 grams of carbohydrates per serving coming from Amylopectin. This slow-release energy source, derived from potato starch, ensures a constant supply of energy without sudden spikes, keeping hunger at bay and optimizing performance.
Additionally, each dose provides 5.9 grams of whey protein, along with BCAAs in a balanced proportion to support muscle recovery. The inclusion of vitamins B1 and B6, as well as sodium, completes the formula to maintain optimal performance for prolonged periods.
Key ingredients and their impact on performance
The Sub9 Energy Drink formula is based on key ingredients that enhance performance and endurance:
– Amylopectin: Provides sustained energy and promotes glycogen recharge, optimizing physical resistance.
– Whey protein isolate: Supports muscle recovery and prolongs performance time to exhaustion.
– BCAAs and Tyrosine: Preserve key neurotransmitters, such as dopamine, to maintain concentration and mental focus during physical activity.
– Taurine and L-Carnitine: They stimulate the use of fats as a source of energy, preserving muscle glycogen for sustained performance.
Mode of use and availability
To obtain maximum benefit, it is recommended to consume Sub9 Energy Drink in small doses every 15 to 20 minutes before and during activity. The preparation is simple: dissolve 4 scoops (50 g) in 500 ml of water, according to the instructions on the packaging.
Importantly, this product is gluten-free, making it an accessible option for a wide range of athletes. Additionally, 226ERS has relaunched the Watermelon flavor and introduces a new option: Mango.
