| A mix of carbohydrates with rapid assimilation time and with a high glycemic index (dextrose, saccharose, maltodextrins) gives our body the possibility to rebuild glycogen reserves very quickly. Branched-chain amino-acids (in proteins or parts of them) promote recovery of tone and muscular mass. Glutamine (an amino-acid) is useful for fighting against high levels of fatigue and for elevating immune defences A drink or a salt supplement, particularly aspartates of potassium and magnesium, is useful to reinstate what we lose by sweating and to stave off cramps Vitamins C and E have a specific antioxidant action. Group B Vitamins can make use of carbohydrates more easily (B6, in particular, is active in protein metabolism). |
