SportBrennstoff™ GRUNDLAGE

The products are characterized by a high solubility due to their composition. The powder dissolves in the prescribed dosage within a few minutes and leaves no lumps or crumbs. The solution is completely colorless and does not leave any discoloration in drinking bottles or similar.

We use glucose sources in different compositions and concentrations. Therefore, the products with higher doses taste a little sweeter than the products with lower doses. The salt works together with the citric acid to create a pleasant, slightly sour taste (slightly lemony) that is well tolerated over several hours.

Basically, our products BELASTUNG and WETTKAMPF already contain enough salt as a source of sodium, so no additional salt intake should be necessary. If you are a heavy sweater and have a test that recommends using more salt, you can add salt.

In the area of ​​antioxidants, vitamins are counterproductive in stressful situations when it comes to achieving adaptations in performance. Antioxidants suppress oxidative processes in the body that are necessary for adaptations. Other vitamins make no sense in a targeted sports diet. They are usually not absorbed in stressful situations or they disrupt the metabolism. For this reason, we have dispensed with any vitamins as additives.

All other minerals are not necessary in the specific stress situation and are not absorbed in the intended form. There is also a risk that these minerals may be useful in a single dose, but can lead to an overdose over several hours. For this reason, we completely avoid adding minerals. Magnesium, for example, has to be stored in the form of a depot over several days anyway. Acute supply in the stress situation therefore makes no sense at all.

Example potassium:

Potassium and magnesium complement each other in their effects. A maximum of 150mg of potassium should be consumed per 750ml (one drinking bottle). If we calculate this over a long distance of 12 hours with one drinking bottle each, that means that the athlete would consume a total of 1800mg of potassium. That is then combined with 100mg of magnesium per hour, which would mean that the total intake would be 1200mg. This combination is very likely to have a laxative effect. In addition, potassium can lead to vomiting and nausea in large quantities. But taking potassium during exertion makes no sense at all. Potassium is necessary for building up glycogen stores and is stored with them. The release of the necessary potassium during exertion occurs in conjunction with the glycogen stores. So with proper preparation, there is enough potassium stored in the body. The same applies to magnesium. The depot is important here. Intake during exertion carries the risk of having a laxative effect and only putting additional strain on the stomach and intestines. That is why we do not use these additives.

Proteins have an anabolic effect and are also used to generate energy during exercise. However, there are sufficient physical reserves to make these proteins available in small quantities. The substances that are important for energy are dextrose, fructose and sodium. We have limited ourselves to these, as we work specifically in stressful situations. Using proteins for regeneration makes sense and should be done with a readily available protein source in a protein:carbohydrate ratio of 1:5.

All of our products fully comply with the regulations of the World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA) according to the latest publications ( current list ). We have also deposited the conformity statement for our respective products. Our products are manufactured exclusively in Germany and certified under ISO 22000 and FSSC 22000. The individual batches are numbered, certified and documented. All batches are documented in a traceable manner and these certificates can also be requested if required. We are absolutely transparent!
