In this category you will find the best energy drinks and hypo and isotonic preparations on the market. These are two types of powerful natural drinks used by athletes to improve aspects such as mental focus, reflexes and explosive strength, or liquid hydrosaline and carbohydrate solutions aimed at a prolonged energy release, that is, that it is constant over time.
While both are considered energy drinks, the energy drinks mostly contain stimulating substances of the nervous system such as caffeine, tyrosine and others, in order to stimulate the synthesis of important neurotransmitters (adrenaline in particular) which, being naturally responsible for the state of alertness, are activated by the body in dangerous conditions (adaptive response Fight or Flight, i.e. fight or flight).
Isotonic and hypotonic drinks, instead, they are composed of mixtures of mineral salts, vitamins and a blend of carbohydrates with different glycemic index, and serve to support a more gradual energy release by supplying the body with important electrolyte mineral salts, expelled through sweating. They can be liquid or pre-mixed to dissolve in water or your favorite drink.
The latter are also excellent in combination with BCAA-based powders to supply energy and plastic substrates (amino acids) in the most exhausting sports such as triathlon, cycling, cross-country skiing, etc. All activities where the energy demand is quite high and the muscles are subjected to strong catabolism.
