Deep dive on the issue
Problem-solving is fundamental to human nature, as it is essential for our ability to thrive. Science plays a critical role in problem-solving, providing a systematic and evidence-based approach to understanding and explaining the natural world around us.
Our scientific methods are based on observation and identification of a problem through data collection. We analyze the problem and use literature research and randomised controlled trials to evaluate potential nutrients that address a specific issue.
The literature used had to meet the following requirements: studies performed on humans, English or Dutch studies, peer-reviewed articles, (systematic) reviews, meta-analyses, clinical trials, safety, and randomized controlled trials (RCTs).
Scope
01 Before
Muscle fatigue and losing muscle endurance during activity are problems that seriously impair performance. It not only affects overall performance but eventually decreases aerobic capacity, flexibility, muscular strength, endurance and speed. We researched:
- The physiological needs of athletes pre-activity.
- The function, effects en synergy between potential ingredients.
- Usability and safety of the potential ingredients.
02 During
Both energy management and thermoregulation are important during exercise, especially for team-, and endurance athletes. Not being on top of your strategy can result in gastrointestinal problems, muscle cramps, fatigue and (mental) exhaustion, all leading to sub-optimal performance when not addressed properly. We researched:
- The current sports nutrition and supplement usage, and eating habits of athletes during activity.
- The most important pharmacokinetic and pharmacodynamic properties of identified nutrients.
- The main key problems regarding gastrointestinal and digestive issues, and usability.
03 After
During exercise or racing, athletes often experience significant exercise-induced muscle damage (EIMD) and wear and tear. If not addressed appropriately, inadequate recovery can lead to more severe injuries affecting various parts of the body, including muscles, bones, joints, and connective tissues. Beyond injury prevention, proper post-activity nutrition supports lean muscle growth and maintenance. Our research revealed:
- The effects of the different ingredients in 03 After on sports recovery and how they co-interact.
- Physiological mechanisms of wear and tear, and nutritional factors.
- The nutrients that support recovery, replenishment and injury prevention, and the underlying mechanisms, as they are complementary.
How to use
Our products are designed to optimise your sports nutrition intake. No essential nutrients are left out, and timing and planning are as easy as it should be.
01 Before: use 30 min. before your training or race.
02 During: depending on duration and intensity, you either use one (45 g/h), or two units (90 g/h). Trained, professional athletes can use up to 3 units per hour.
03 After: regardless of intensity or duration, use within 30 min. after training/race.
