Alphalyte Power Glucidex is a food supplement, suitable for adult sportsmen, based on maltodextrin (Glucidex), enriched by a mix of minerals (mineral salts in the form of citrate) and vitamin C, with hesperidin (WATTS'UP). Potassium and magnesium contribute to normal muscle function, while vitamin C contributes to physiological energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue. During intense and prolonged workouts, it is important that constant energy support is guaranteed, without glycemic peaks and related "drops" or disorders due to dehydration or gastrointestinal disorders that can significantly compromise performance.

Widespread is the use of isotonic energy drinks by athletes who, however, often use ingredients that can be "heavy" or irritating to the gastrointestinal system, sometimes create a "roller coaster" effect on blood sugar or are not correctly balanced on concentration and dilution of the elements. The fact remains that, when we practice a sport for a prolonged period of time, carbohydrate stocks (muscle and liver glycogen) decrease with the consequent risk of decreased performance and weakening due to hypoglycemia. To remedy or stop this physiological process, carbohydrate-based supplements are used which help prevent hypoglycemia by helping to save glycogen and trying to keep blood sugar levels more constant, in order not only to prevent these drops in performance, but to improve the performance itself both from the point of view of resistance and quality in sports such as cycling, running, triathlon, cross-country skiing, football, but also for combat sports, CrossFit etc. In a context of prolonged effort over time, among the various types of carbohydrate used, maltodextrins, Glucidex quality, are a basic source that guarantees rapid support with a constant release of energy over time, ensuring rather stable blood sugar.

Maltodextrins are polymers deriving from the hydrolysis process of starches (from corn) which are very soluble in water, easily assimilated and, thanks to a much lower osmotic pressure compared to simple low molecular weight carbohydrates (such as glucose), have a more rapid gastric emptying (with increased rate of absorption). Precisely for this reason, maltodextrin solutions at high concentrations can be well tolerated without problems, without burdening the gastrointestinal system and affecting performance, while many glucose-based drinks or other simple sugars could easily cause the appearance of gastrointestinal disorders, , bloating, or worse, diarrhea. So it is clear that the important advantages for athletes deriving from taking maltodextrin-based supplements, compared to other simple carbohydrates, are linked to the faster digestion and relative absorption times.

During intense and prolonged physical practice, even more emphasized in the hot season, sweating is the mechanism through which our body keeps body temperature under control and prevents it from rising excessively, putting the various functions at risk vital physiology. With intense activity in the presence of high temperatures, it is possible to lose up to 4-5 liters of liquids per hour, with an associated high loss of precious electrolytes which, if not quickly replenished, opens the door to dehydration and all the even severe imbalances given by the loss of mineral salts such as sodium, chlorine, potassium and magnesium, which are essential for the balance of the organism. This imbalance can negatively affect physical performance. For this reason, especially in the summer and/or when intense physical activity takes place, it is useful to support and reintroduce the precious mineral salts that can be rapidly and effectively absorbed to restore the hydro-saline balance and stop dehydration. The supply of mineral salts in citrate form is preferable to other versions, as it is decidedly more bioavailable for our body and better tolerated. It should be noted, in fact, that various preparations based on certain types of salts can favor the onset of gastrointestinal problems with consequent malabsorption and also worsen dehydration itself (case of diarrhea) and performance.

WATTS'UP is a bioflavonoid complex naturally present in oranges that is rapidly bioavailable for our body.WATTS'UP helps aerobic capacity and anaerobic efficiency during physical efforts.
