SportBrennstoff INTENSIV - Single

We use glucose sources in different compositions and concentrations. Therefore, the products with a higher dosage taste a little sweeter than the products with a lower dosage. The salt works together with the citric acid to create a pleasant, slightly sour taste (slightly lemony) that is well tolerated over several hours.

Basically, our products STRESS and COMPETITION already contain enough salt as a source of sodium, so no additional salt intake should be necessary. If you are a heavy sweater and have a test that recommends using more salt, you can add salt.

In the area of ​​antioxidants, vitamins are counterproductive in stressful situations when it comes to achieving adaptations in performance. Antioxidants suppress oxidative processes in the body that are necessary for adaptations. Other vitamins make no sense in a targeted sports diet. They are usually not absorbed in stressful situations or they disrupt the metabolism. For this reason, we have dispensed with any vitamins as additives.

All other minerals are not necessary in the specific stress situation and are not absorbed in the intended form. There is also a risk that these minerals may be useful in a single dose, but can lead to an overdose over several hours. For this reason, we completely avoid adding minerals. Magnesium, for example, has to be stored in the form of a depot over several days anyway. Acute supply in the stress situation therefore makes no sense at all.

Example potassium:

Potassium and magnesium complement each other in their effects. A maximum of 150mg of potassium should be consumed per 750ml (one drinking bottle). If we calculate this over a long distance of 12 hours with one drinking bottle each, that means that the athlete would consume a total of 1800mg of potassium. This is then combined with 100mg of magnesium per hour, which would mean that the total intake would be 1200mg. This combination is very likely to have a laxative effect. Potassium can also lead to vomiting and nausea in large quantities. But taking potassium during exertion makes no sense at all. Potassium is necessary for building up glycogen stores and is stored with them. The release of the necessary potassium during exertion occurs in conjunction with the glycogen stores. So with proper preparation, there is enough potassium stored in the body. The same applies to magnesium. The depot is important here. Intake during exertion carries the risk of having a laxative effect and only putting additional strain on the stomach and intestines. That is why we do not use these additives.

Proteins have an anabolic effect and are also used to generate energy during physical exertion. However, there are sufficient physical reserves to make these proteins available in small quantities. The substances that are important for energy are dextrose, fructose and sodium. We have limited ourselves to these, as we work specifically in stressful situations. Using proteins for regeneration makes sense and should be done with a readily available protein source in a protein:carbohydrate ratio of 1:3 to 1:5.

Cologne List® - our voluntary commitment to clean sport

Our product SportBrennstoff INTENSIV is on the Cologne List® for products with a minimized doping risk.

The Cologne List® is an initiative for doping prevention and lists food supplements (NEM) that have been tested for selected doping substances by a laboratory that is a world leader in NEM analysis for doping substances.

As a partner of the Cologne List®, we ensure greater transparency in a very heterogeneous market and support athletes, teams, clubs and associations in assessing these products.

The Cologne List® is not only an indispensable partner in elite and competitive sports, but also for recreational and amateur athletes, because who would want to use products that may contain prohibited substances and thus pose a health risk?
