The science: L-glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body and plays a significant role in muscle recovery. Many endurance and strength athletes often suffer from muscle fatigue which cannot only hinder optimum performance but delay recovery too. Beat the bonk with L-glutamine L-Glutamine has been unveiled as the ‘everyman’ supplement, holding a use for all athletes and weekend warriors. L- Glutamine is quite common in everyday foods, and our body holds onto stores of it already, so you’re not taking in some un-natural substance, in fact you had it in you all along. The benefits of L Glutamine are similar to other amino acids, in that they offer a ‘reserve supply’ effect, allowing you to carry on stronger for longer, without depleting levels. But how does this relate to cycling? Well, put simply, if you’re on a long endurance ride, you’ll be whittling down your body’s supplies of glutamine, which can leave you vulnerable and weak; we might be talking very slightly here, but that’s what cycling’s all about at elite level: marginal gains. A study published in the journal of “Medicine & Science in Sports & Exercise,” showed the depletion of glutamine stores in the body of endurance cyclists is related to suppression of the immune system. Cyclists who supplement with glutamine can boost their immune system to help prevent illness. Glutamine helps in the healing and building of the muscles used during cycling. Without glutamine, these muscles would take longer to repair after each hard ride. So if you’re always topped up, you’ve got a little less chance of being weak on the bike and hitting the proverbial wall! Beat the bonk. The benefits The more you push your body, the more it requires to recover, and supplementing with Bio-Synergy L-glutamine can be an effective supplement to speed up muscle recovery.
Why reducing body fat can improve your performance. Fat burning is often overlooked by endurance athletes and cyclists, but in fact, in the words of James Cracknell "reducing the timber" is one of the critical ingredients in improving performance and getting across the finish line, the reason being that if you are able to reduce the amount of weight that you are carrying, whilst maintaining lean muscle and power output the faster you can go, and if you already have the best bike and lightest kit it is the only variable that you can affect. Chop the wood with Thermogen Whether you cycle to get keep fit, race or for the comradery reducing body fat can be beneficial. There is no doubt that reducing body fat can have significant health benefits and cycling along with Thermogen can achieve this. If however you want to win races, then it is all about reducing weight and maintaining power output, so a reduction in body fat and the associated weight can help you power up even the steepest inclines. The key ingredient in Thermogen is Yerba mate which is a herb traditionally consumed in South America, where it’s known for its energy-boosting properties and antioxidant properties.This was found in a recent Nutrition and Metabolism study investigating yerba mate's fat-burning properties during exercise. In a study, a group of fourteen men and women were recruited to partake in two sessions on an exercise bike. Each time their test on the bike was the same and each time they received a pill one hour before cycling. The participants rode on the bike at increasing intensities every three minutes until they reached the limits of their ability to intake oxygen. The researchers measured performance, to determine how much energy was consumed. Results - both fat burning and the percentage of total energy expenditure that came from fat instead of carbs or protein both increased by 24%, as long as the intensity levels were submaximal, or below seventy percent of VO2 peak. For most people, this intensity would be equivalent to a heart rate of between 150 and 160 beats per minute.

The gels are made from 100% natural and plant-based ingredients combining unrefined brown rice syrup, date nectar and maple syrup. The brown rice syrup delivers essential fast-release glucose for the rapid delivery of energy straight to your muscles. Date nectar is higher in fructose which ensures a slower energy release to keep you feeling fuelled for longer. Meanwhile, maple syrup adds a mellow, natural sweetness from both glucose and fructose, and is a powerful source of antioxidants. Directions for Use Consume the first energy gel between 60-75 minutes into a workout, and then consume a gel every 45 minutes or so after that. Always consume the gels with some water – without it the gels will take a little longer to digest and be slower to enter the blood stream.
Bio-Synergy BCAA powder out is an advanced high performance & delicious blend of amino acids containing 5g of the Branched Chain Amino Acids (L Leucine, L Isoleucine and L Valine) and Beta Alanine, Taurine, Caffeine and Vitamin B6, making it one of the most advanced strength, endurance and energy supplements on the market. Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs) contain a 2:1:1 ratio of Leucine, Isoleucine and Valine. These amino acids are considered to be essential amino acids as they cannot be synthesised in the body. BCAAs can be consumed throughout the day for or before, during and after workouts. You can increase the effectiveness of BCAAs by consuming with Vitamin B6, which is whey each serving contains 100% RDA. In a study by the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition in 2012, it was shown that BCAA administered before and following damaging resistance exercise reduces indices of muscle damage and accelerates recovery in resistance-trained males. It seems likely that BCAA provided greater bioavailablity of substrate to improve protein synthesis and thereby the extent of secondary muscle damage associated with strenuous resistance exercise. Who is Bio-Synergy® BCAA Powder Suitable for? Bio-Synergy BCAA powder is suitable for anyone taking part in intense training or exercise, or for anyone looking to increase lean mass and reducing body fat levels. Each delicious blue raspberry 12g serving is sugar, fat and calorie free, so provides the performance & recovery without unnecessary calories. It is suitable for vegetarians, but contains a source of caffeine. For even better results combine with Bio-Synergy Whey Better and Creatine Plus.
