BLITZ: Training Complex - Berry Blast

KEY INGREDIENTS IN OUR BLITZ: TRAINING COMPLEX

Palatinose

A scientifically-advanced sugar substitute – does more than add sweetness to AMRA Blitz. It also delivers a steady, slow stream of glucose while you’re training to prevent energy dips when you’re pushing hard. Since it’s low on the glycemic index, you get a long-lasting stretch of glucose that’ll keep you powered up all day. What makes Palatinose different from other types of sweeteners is the unique structure that requires multiple metabolic steps to break it down and release the glucose your body can use for energy. That slow release of glucose gives you steady blood sugar instead of a high and subsequent crash that comes with other sugar sources. Though it tastes sweet; it sits low on the glycemic index, and supports appetite control, smashes cravings, and helps you reduce fat and build lean mass.

Beta-Alanine

Beta-Alanine helps the body produce carnosine – a protein building block found in the muscles, heart, brain, and other parts of the body – which boosts exercise performance. By reducing acidity in your muscles, it increases muscle endurance, increases your exercise capacity, and reduces fatigue. Its ability to boost exercise performance, as well as its immune-enhancing and antioxidant properties, make it possible for you to go harder, longer. Beta-Alanine also supports muscular endurance so you can have more productive, harder workouts while boosting muscle mass, particularly when engaging in anaerobic exercises, such as weight lifting.

Cluster Dextrin

Cluster Dextrin – known as a game-changer in carb-based sports drink supplements – provides athletes a sustained release of energy. It is processed by the stomach quickly, which means it’s ready for your body to burn as fuel in short order. Furthermore, you won’t get that bloated feeling that comes with so many other carb supplements. Clinical trials show that Cluster Dextrin increases the time it takes to reach a state of exhaustion, while also decreasing the stress hormone response due to exercise. The bottom line? Cluster Dextrin helps you perform better and recover faster. As an advanced complex carbohydrate source, its low glycemic index means you’ll get the energy you want without a blood sugar spike, and it’s easy on the stomach.

Glutamine

Hard workouts and physical activity can dehydrate your body and drain your cells of glycogen, the energy stores you need to keep your muscles powered. L-Alanine and L-Glutamine, and is clinically tested to aid with hydration while boosting recovery via the promotion of healthy muscle repair. Glutamine may help reduce fatigue or decrease muscle soreness during and after exercise.

ElevATP

ElevATP combines ancient peat and apple polyphenols to increase endogenous ATP levels while supporting better performance, power, and strength. Awarded the Ingredient of the Year in Sports Nutrition Category in 2018, ElevATP provides fuel for your muscles to run on. ElevATP not only supports ATP production, but boosts athletic performance, improves power output, supports strength and lean muscle, and reduces performance decrements that are associated with overreaching while training.

BCAAs (L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine)

L-Valine, L-Isoleucine, and L-Leucine are all branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), a term that refers to their chemical structure. These amino acids offer some important benefits to athletes, including the ability to increase muscle growth by stimulating muscle protein synthesis, the body’s muscle-building process. BCAAs also help reduce exercise fatigue and decrease muscle soreness, and by reducing exhaustion and fatigue while training, it gives you the ability to increase the intensity and duration of your workout. You’ll be able to go harder, go longer, and crush those training goals on and off the track.

Electrolytes

Electrolytes – chemicals that conduct electricity when they’re mixed with water – help regulate muscle and nerve function, balance blood pressure, keep the body hydrated, and more. Electrolytes found in the human body include phosphate, sodium, bicarbonate, chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium. Failure to replenish your electronics or stay hydrated during exercise can lead to an electrolyte balance that causes symptoms like muscle spasms, excessive fatigue, weakness, confusion, changes in blood pressure, and more. Intense exercise – when you’re pushing hard and sweating profusely – can result in an electrolyte imbalance, and boosting the body with electrolytes will help prevent problems like muscle spasms and fatigue that can prevent you from reaching your goals.
