How to supplement for an Olympic triathlon?

Our collaborator Victory Endurance has designed a strategy to support you during an Olympic distance triathlon.

Hydration and supplementation estimation for an Olympic Triathlon.

BEFORE STARTING:

• ISO-ENERGY: It brings you the last and necessary intake of carbohydrates, minerals and water just before the competition. Very technical formula that provides: carbohydrates of different glycemic indexes (different speeds) to maintain an adequate concentration of blood glucose, Mineral salts losses and a plus of Glutamine (anticatabolic amino acid, delays fatigue and decreases the risk of infection). Drinking a beverage like Iso-Energy is essential to improve performance.
• GELES, BARRITAS AND GUMMIES: the contribution of carbohydrates is essential, especially if we have not been able to load them before the test, for this we offer several options:
  • Nature's Energy bar 45-30 minutes before the start.
  • If you prefer another format you can take the Energy Boost Gummies 30 minutes before.

DURING:

• • ISO-ENERGY: essential to avoid dehydration during physical exercise. Drinking a beverage like Iso-Energy is essential to improve performance.
  • BARRITAS OR GOMINOLAS: for the bike part you can take advantage of something solid, choose the option that you like the most: Energy Boost Gummies, remember that 4 equals a gel, or the Nature's Energy bar.
  • GELES: Take advantage of the transition to take one. Also in this distance you may need to take another one before the second transition. We recommend you take one more approximately in the middle of the race on foot. You can choose any of our range: Energy Boost with and without caffeine, Energy Up! o Pump gel.

AFTER COMPETITION:

• TOTAL-RECOVERY: fundamental product to begin recovery both energy and muscle immediately after physical activity. It provides carbohydrates of high glycemic index, essential amino acids and glutamine, with an 3 / 1 ratio between carbohydrates and proteins that according to studies is the ideal combination to optimize post-exercise recovery. Also with a plus of vitamins and minerals. Taking a product such as Total-Recovery is necessary to optimize recovery.
