The product is enriched with magnesium and potassium, which contribute to normal muscle function, and vitamins B6 and B12, which together with magnesium contribute to normal energy metabolism and reduce fatigue and tiredness.
In order to maintain performance over the long term without loss of physical ability and concentration, athletes need a constant energy supply and should avoid dehydration. Thanks to careful collaboration with professional athletes and constant listening to their needs, Legionarius was born, a supplement that supports the intense and long-distance training typical of fighters and all martial arts, crossfitters, triathletes, marathon runners, cyclists and bodybuilding enthusiasts.
- Isomaltulose - Palatinose® carbohydrates with proven efficacy
- InstAA® branched chain amino acids derived from plant fermentation with a very high degree of solubility
- Mineral salts in citrate form
- Coconut milk
Isomaltulose is a low glycaemic index disaccharide sugar, the molecule of which is formed by combining two monosaccharide sugars, glucose and fructose. It is a natural sugar, present in small amounts in honey and cane sugar, with a sweetening power of 45-50% compared to sucrose (white sugar). Recently, its interesting properties have made it increasingly popular as an ingredient in sports drinks.
Isomaltulose, which is characterised by a very gradual process of absorption and release into the blood, has a moderate glycaemic curve over time, without the peaks or sharp falls of other carbohydrate sources (glucose or maltodextrins). It has therefore proven to be a slow-release energy source that supports the body even during very long workouts.
Branched chain amino acids (BCAAs) are known and appreciated by both strength and endurance athletes. These three essential amino acids:
- Leucine
- Valine
- Isoleucine
Three substances that our body cannot produce on its own and must be supplemented with food. BCAAs are absorbed through the intestinal mucosa and pass through the blood directly into the tissues as free amino acids. Unlike other amino acids, they are metabolized directly in the muscles without straining the liver. They are also used to counteract exercise-induced muscle breakdown (catabolism) and are potentially beneficial in strength and endurance sports, as muscle support and to combat fatigue.
As well as balancing blood sugar levels, another factor is essential for athletes: hydration. Excessive fluid loss can actually be detrimental to performance and health. To alter performance, it is sufficient to exceed the 2% threshold of the initial body weight of the amount of fluid lost and not compensated for. Once this threshold is exceeded, acceleration of psychophysical fatigue, temperature, increase in heart rate (due to a decrease in circulating blood volume), increase in glycogen consumption, deterioration of metabolic functions, digestive disorders, headaches, cognitive disturbances and even subsequent collapse can be observed. It is therefore clear that maintaining a proper balance of electrolytes before, during and after exercise is essential. Thanks to the Legionarius supplement, it is possible to combat dehydration with the help of valuable electrolytes such as:
- Magnesium
- Potassium
- Chlorine
- Coconut milk
Benefits:
- Palatinose for muscle glycogen replacement
- BCAA to support anabolism
- In addition, magnesium and potassium minerals and vitamins B6 and B12.
- The package contains 20 servings
