Yamamoto Nutrition Glycogen Cluster Dextrin is a food supplement with highly branched cyclic dextrin, coconut water, potassium, flavonoids and magnesium. The most demanding athlete knows well the value of an effective food integration combined with his meticulous daily diet and in recent times, among the most important topics is nutrition and integration aimed at the "periworkout", i.e. before, during and after the performance. "Critical" moment for his own conditioning to performance and subsequent recovery. In this regard, "intraworkout" drinks have gained increasing importance and use, which until a few years ago could have been too susceptible to excessive commitment of the body for digestion, with relative subtraction of precious blood from the muscles, frequent gastrointestinal disorders, or of glycemic drops with consequent obvious negative alteration of training. With the new concept of intraworkout drink, all these factors have been overcome, to allow the body builder, the fighter but also the cross fitter as well as the endurance sports athlete, to make use of everything that an effective integration of precious elements can make. Yamamoto Nutrition has been an innovator in Europe for this type of support integration during and after performance with the launch of particular and specific elements such as cyclodextrins or the various forms of hydrolyzate (Peptpro and Amizate) or Alani-l-glutamine ( Sustamine) and today presents another new "intraworkout" supplement based on highly branched cyclodextrins (Cluster Dextrins) with the addition of orange flavonoids (Watt's up), powdered coconut water, magnesium and potassium citrates and sodium chloride .

Cyclodextrins are by now the most innovative form of carbohydrates to be taken during and/or after training, particular glucose polymers which are obtained from the reaction between amylopectin with a specific enzyme, forming a glucose polymer with a particular cyclic structure with exceptional characteristics of use, with an average molecular weight of 160,000 Da, with very low osmolarity which favors very rapid gastric emptying and equally rapid absorption by the intestine which will then gradually release "ready to use" energy, all to the advantage of the 'athlete looking for real performance support and to promote the most efficient recovery. Cyclodextrins are the most soluble and rapidly absorbed form of new generation carbohydrate than any other source such as maltodextrin and dextrose, with the further advantage that more constant energy support will be favored over time, without spikes and respective glycemic "crashes" and without excessively elevating insulin levels. This reason, together with the limitations given by gastrointestinal disorders, have often been a major limitation to the use of carbohydrates during training. Not anymore today, thanks to all these characteristics, any athlete who finds himself carrying out work of particular intensity and with a certain duration, will be able to benefit from cyclodextrins, which were specifically created to support a prolonged energy release, a more constant and disturbances of any kind such as bloating, flatulence, nausea or osmotic diarrhoea. Intended as a post-workout supplement, cyclodextrins will be precious elements that will quickly replenish the glycogen used for faster recovery.

As Yamamoto is always on the lookout for innovative elements of proven efficacy, in Glycogen we find an interesting novelty which is added to the cyclodextrins: WATTS'UP, a flavonoid derived from sweet oranges. WATTS'UP is coming to the fore for its triple action relevant to all types of sporting activities, from strength sports to endurance sports, thanks to its ability to make the activity of the mitochondria, "our powerhouse" more efficient cell, generating more ATP at constant oxygen levels. We will have more aerobic endurance and more anaerobic power, and the most interesting thing is that all of this is based on clinical studies in a prestigious scientific journal (Maastricht, The Netherlands, January 5th, 2018 Journal of Sports Science and Medicine).

Studies on this flavonoid demonstrate a clear increase in aerobic and anaerobic capacity/power in the athletes involved in the study through a direct improvement in mitochondrial activity. The dose contained in a single serving of Glycogen is sufficient to benefit from these positive effects of increased power and resistance.Watts'upp has a very high bioavailability and acts after a few minutes from its intake, for which it finds excellent synergy with the rapid activity of cyclodextrins, to allow muscle work of maximum yield over time.

Coconut water powder can be considered as a real pool of electrolytes with very high bioavailability. Its concentrated content in mineral salts such as magnesium, potassium and calcium, will promote maximum hydration of the body during physical activity hydrated during physical activity, and supporting the body in moments of intense effort and high sweating without causing any discomfort gastrointestinal. To further improve the body's hydration, counteract fatigue resulting from excessive fluid loss, and the onset of cramps, Glycogen also contains potassium citrates, magnesium, and sodium chloride. Glycogen Cluster Dextrin is a highly effective intraworkout drink in supporting medium and long-term performance, with strong electrolyte support, guaranteed with maximum tolerability and intestinal absorption capacity, which can be suitable for all sportsmen, from body builders to cross fitter, from the fighter to the cyclist, which also lends itself to being further combined with other rapidly assimilated nutritional elements such as branched chain amino acids, essential amino acids or hydrolysed proteins please a further boost to recovery, thanks to the supply of reconstruction material to the muscles under effort or after effort.
