AMPED Power: Nitrosigine in the Scientific Spotlight
AMPED™ Power provides a powerful and effective pre-workout formula with active ingredients that work together to support blood flow and nutrient delivery to muscles, boost athletic performance, and aid in muscle contraction. One of those major active ingredients is Nitrosigine®.
How to Fix Your Upset Running Stomach
The last thing you want is to get an upset stomach during your run. Unfortunately, gastrointestinal distress is all too common among runners. It’s often caused by a variety of factors—physiological, mechanical, and nutritional—but you can do something about your GI problems.
Runners, You May Need More Protein
If you’re a runner limiting your protein intake, you may be limiting your performance. A high-protein diet isn’t just for athletes who lift weights. The goal for the majority of runners is to improve running performance, whether by total distance or by time. During the recovery phase after a run, consuming the right nutrients is necessary for quicker recovery and performance gains.
Nutrient Timing of AMPED Products for Endurance
Endurance athletes are unique in their nutritional requirements, largely due to the fact that endurance exercise requires greater amounts of fuel. Preparation comes down to ensuring you get the right amounts of carbohydrates and other supplemental nutrients at the right time. Endurance athletes also need to get adequate protein to offset muscle protein breakdown and hasten recovery.
Is Alcohol Destroying Your Athletic Performance?
There’s no question about it. Alcohol and athletics don’t mix, because it makes an impact on your recovery which is critical to reaching your optimal performance and fitness levels. Unfortunately, too many sports have created an entire culture based around drinking for fans and athletes alike. In fact, binge drinking is so prevalent in sports that studies suggest that athletes are more likely than the general population to drink in excess (1, 2).
