Branched chain amino acids reduce mental fatigue, decrease muscle damage, and improve cardiac output during exercise. |
Electrolytes maintain water balance and aid in optimum hydration for everyday training and recovery, as well as during sustained, high-intensity efforts. |
Caffeine enhances performance by increasing focus and concentration. It can also decrease perceived effort during exercise. |
Carbohydrates deliver ready to use energy and delay bonking by sparing glycogen, which the body can quickly turn into fuel when needed. |
