‘Intra’ is our upgraded and fully loaded peri-workout formula (formerly post-workout) to support both intra-workout performance, and post-workout recovery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhile certainly not mandatory, a focus on peri-workout supplementation is typically most valuable in the following scenarios:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFasted

replenishes glycogen, supports mitochondrial function and ATP synthesis, augments the muscle building process, attenuates muscle protein breakdown, accelerates overall recovery, and tastes incredible so you actually look forward to drinking it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese are the components of this formula and how they support that:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFAST DIGESTING \u0026amp; SYNERGISTIC CARBOHYDRATES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYour body breaks down carbohydrates into glucose, which is released into the bloodstream to be taken up by cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnce inside cells, glucose undergoes a process called glycogenesis, which is the formation of glycogen, the body’s primary fuel source.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe difference in exercise performance capacity, and even the difference cosmetically with muscular fullness, when glycogen is topped out vs. depleted, is night and day.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn general, many can go into an average workout adequately fueled, and perform just fine without any attention paid to anything intra-workout except their fluid intake.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHowever, for many others, it may be prudent to incorporate peri-workout carbs not just to attenuate glycogen depletion, but also to shuttle complementary nutrients and\/or flux electrolytes into cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith that said, carbohydrate selection peri-workout needs to be conducive to the goal of rapid repletion, with minimal GI stress.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is where our Carbohydrate Complex shines, by replenishing Glycogen efficiently with a synergistic combination of fast digesting Cluster Dextrin\u003cspan

appears to provide an ergogenic advantage over other carbohydrate sources via faster gastric emptying and faster absorption [\u003ca

conjunction, the complementary Dextrose + Fructose combination is more acutely insulinogenic, further assimilating glycogen, but also driving more aggressive nutrient shuttling intra-workout (e.g. increasing amino acid uptake from complementary \u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eEAA’s\u003c\/a\u003e).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen ingested in the form of glucose–fructose mixtures, not only is the ingestion rate necessary to rapidly replete more tolerable due to lower gut discomfort, but total body glycogen status can also be enhanced over glucose (polymer) ingestion alone, due to greater liver glycogen repletion [\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eR\u003c\/a\u003e].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eELECTROLYTES:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWater and electrolytes work hand in hand to maintain cellular balance and hydration, which is important for sustaining high-performance levels.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen we exercise, we sweat and release large amounts of electrolytes and trace elements that our bodies rely on.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eReplenishing and maintaining an optimal ratio between them is essential for optimal performance and health.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOnly a 2% loss in fluids can result in as much as a 20% decrease in exercise performance.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMany athletes do not optimize their hydration status, even when given unlimited access to fluid.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFeaturing 1000 mg Sodium, 400 mg Potassium, 80 mg Magnesium Bisglycinate, and trace Calcium, ‘Intra’ was also

regulators, also known as osmolytes, are compounds that cells use to maintain fluid balance and osmotic pressure in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOsmolytes can enhance exercise performance via improved cellular hydration, cell volume maintenance, thermal regulation, stress resilience, energy metabolism, and fatigue reduction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe chose 3 of the most effective osmolytes to include in ‘Intra’.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eCreatine Monohydrate:\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSupplementing with

muscle size is facilitated by drawing water into the muscle via osmosis, consequently increasing body weight and muscle size.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn addition, with the increased strength creatine provides, heavier weights can be used in the gym which provide more stimulus for growth, consequently increasing muscle accrual in the long-term.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCreatine supplementation also appears to increase the number of myonuclei that satellite cells will donate to damaged muscle fibers, which increases the potential for growth of those fibers [\u003ca

Trimethylglycine, acts as a methyl donor and an osmolyte in the body.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor some individuals (depending on PEMT gene variations) Betaine can substitute for folate and B12 in the regeneration of methionine and can be choline sparing via this mechanism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt can also provide additional needed methyl donors when over-depletion occurs in genetically predisposed individuals.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAs an osmolyte, Betaine helps balance fluid levels inside and outside of cells.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBetaine supplementation has also

muscular endurance capacity, which is its primary use case in an exercise performance context, Taurine appears to improve the efficiency of ATP turnover in the muscle cell via antioxidant driven stabilizing effects in the mitochondrial matrix [\u003ca href=\"#\"\u003eR\u003c\/a\u003e].\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTaurine supplementation has been linked to enhanced muscle function, potentially due to its role in boosting the capacity of the sarcoplasmic reticulum to store calcium, which is crucial for initiating muscle contractions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAdditionally, Taurine might enhance the responsiveness of the muscle's contractile proteins—actin and myosin—to calcium, potentially leading to stronger muscle contractions [\u003ca

mitochondria can generate ATP more effectively, enhancing endurance and delaying fatigue, which is crucial for both high-intensity and endurance sports.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eMitochondrial
