Have you ever wondered why your body feels tired and sore during and after a race?

If you have been struggling through your runs or race with unexplained fatigue where your legs feel wobbly, your breathing is non-rhythmic or mentally fatigued, which causes you a whole bad running experience. It’s probably due to the lack of proper nutrients to fuel up your body pre-run, during-run, and post-run, depending on the distance of the race you are participating in. Food fuel is very important to a successful marathon or race; however, runners need to opt for the ideal food and allow the food time to digest fully.

In comparison, most athletes are more familiar with the conventional protein shake-which must be broken down into amino acids before they can be used. It leads to a delay in the effectiveness of protein when taken as a supplement. In essence, amino acid supplements like aminoVITAL®, allows your body to digest and absorb three times FASTER than top protein-based products, making it effective for runners who regularly go on a hunt for time-sensitive and rapid bioavailability supplements.

While doing sports or exercise, our body needs proteins as it is the main component of muscle, and proteins are made out of amino acids. Thus, for our body to continue functioning at its optimal it needs more amino acids. Consuming amino acids takes up to 30 minutes to absorb, it can definitely help you in fueling the lack of nutrients that your body needs for you to perform better!

We highly recommend aminoVITAL®, as its amino acids have plenty of functions and benefits that are ideal for all types of sports and training. The essentials in amino acids include valine, leucine, and isoleucine. It is called branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) where people are more familiar. For long-distance runners, your body gradually runs out of energy sources and begins to break down muscle proteins to use BCAAs for energy, causing muscle damage. Thus, supplementing BCAAs before, during, and after your runs gives the body energy to move longer and reduce further muscle damage. This shows aminoVITAL® helps improve performance and enhance muscle recovery for people who run marathons or any endurance sports.

In Running Malaysia Magazine, it is recommended for runners to have a meal with high carbs and protein and low nutrients that slows digestion, mainly fat and fiber, however, high protein food takes a long time to break down and absorb into the body. Thus, for runner’s bodies to keep going, aminoVITAL® is a great choice for quick and effective consumption!

How To Drink aminoVITAL®?

While preparing for a race or marathon, it is recommended that runners drink 1 pouch, 30 minutes before their race. It will get the runner’s body well prepared throughout its race.

For example, if you are running a half marathon, it is optimal to take an aminoVITAL® pack 30 minutes before getting your body ready and another pack within 30 minutes at the end of your race recovery drink. If you’re running a full marathon of 42km or involved in any high endurance sports, it is best to consume up to 2-3 pouches per day or 1 pouch every 3-4 hours.
