MCT
GEL is an energy concentrate with MCT (medium chain triglycerides),
L-carnitine, betaine, green tea, ginger and beetroot juice. Sweetened with
Stevia. Its innovative formulation guarantees immediate energy and contributes
to the saving of glycogen reserves.
- Immediate
energy
- Rapid absorption
- Saving glycogen reserves
MCT C8-C10 Medium-chain fatty acids
MCTs allow a significant supply of
energy with a remarkable speed thanks to the ability to be directly absorbed
independently of the secretion of bile and pancreatic juice, after absorption
they are directly sent, through the portal circulation, to the liver where they
are rapidly metabolized. At the cellular level they are directly conveyed to the
mitochondrion where following beta oxidation they will provide energy both by
participating in the Krebs cycle and subsequent oxidative phosphorylation, and
by contributing to the formation and use of ketone bodies. Their intake also
favors the use of long-chain fatty acids, favoring the overall lipid metabolism.
Glycerol
Moisturizing
and volumizing substance capable of optimizing hydration processes,
synergistically with betaine. It is particularly useful when carrying out
prolonged endurance activities, especially if practiced in climatic conditions
which involve a conspicuous loss of fluids. Once metabolized, glycerol exerts an
interesting ergogenic effect, a hepatic level its catabolism is mainly used for
the formation of glucose, useful as an additional source of energy.
L-Carnitine
Carnitine favors
the entry and consequently the use of fatty acids at the mitochondrial level for
energy production with a synergistic effect with that of MCTs, contributing to
the optimization of energy metabolism based on use of lipids.
Betaine
Plant-derived nutraceutical extracted from Beta
vulgaris (chard) with interesting ability to promote the mobilization and
hepatic use of lipids, it also shows significant ability to promote hydration
and the entry of nutrients at the cellular level. Its use contributes to the
improvement of performance in endurance athletes by counteracting the negative
impact of dehydration.
Ginger
Vegetable nutraceutical useful in
promoting digestive activity and in countering nausea, a common phenomenon
during the execution of physical activity, especially if prolonged, which often
compromises the athlete's ability to feed in competition.
Maltodextrin
Easy digesting carbohydrates that allow a constant supply of energy while
maintaining a relatively stable glycemic profile. The balanced consumption
contextually to the MCTs allows an important energy supply by exploiting all the
main channels used by the body in the production of energy.
Sodium and
potassio
They represent the ions most lost with sweating, their level is
very important for maintaining performance.
Vitamine C
Water-soluble
vitamin with a remarkable antioxidant effect. It participates in the synthesis
of numerous substances and in the energy metabolism.
Beetroot juice
Extremely interesting food for the nitrate content, used by the body as
precursors of nitric oxide; promotes vasodilation and consequently the transport
of oxygen and nutrients in the muscles. Its consumption is related to the
prolongation of endurance and work capacity during the practice of physical
activity.
