Supplements are popular among those who want to improve their workout performance. While most focus on pre-workout and post-workout supplements, there are plenty of benefits associated with intra workout supplements.
Enhancing your workouts is essential if you want to perform at your best, and intra-workout supplements are here to help.
Pre – and post-workout supplements are what you take before workouts.
In contrast, intra-workout supplements are those you take during your workouts.
There are different types and each has their own specific benefit.
Most are available in easy, convenient ways to consume such as powder, liquid, or capsule form.
Still, while pre- and post-workout supplements are more popular, intra-workout supplements have their own important roles to play when it comes to helping you reach your fitness goals.
Types
These supplements are available in three main types: amino acids, BCAAs, and carb transport.
Amino Acids
Known as the building blocks of proteins, amino acids are necessary for building muscle and ensuring they function properly.
Furthermore, the most essential amino acids are leucine, lysine, threonine, valine, histidine, isoleucine, methionine, tryptophan, and phenylalanine.
BCAAs
Short for branched-chain amino acids, BCAAs are one of the most important amino acids for building muscle.
They play an essential role in the body’s use of sugars, glutamine, alanine, and other compounds and amino acids.
Carb Transport
One way to help increase the body’s level of insulin sensitivity is to take carb transport supplements.
These supplements benefit workouts by using amino acids and carbohydrates as energy during exercise.
Benefits
BenefitsIntra-workout supplements benefit the body and health during workouts in a variety of ways.
They help increase energy, increase endurance, improve hydration, and reduce muscle breakdown.
More Energy and Endurance
These supplements help reduce fatigue, allowing people to push themselves farther and see results quicker.
They are also helpful for people who are working out while fasting or on a low-carb diet, as they may experience fatigue from these activities.
Better Hydration
One great benefit of these supplements is their electrolyte content, a necessary component of workouts if you want to stay hydrated.
Long workouts lead to a high amount of sweating and loss of water.
BCAAs help provide the electrolytes you need without the high sugar content found in popular sports drinks.
Decrease in Muscle Breakdown
People who workout often worry about muscle breakdown, especially if they are on a calorie deficit or workout during fasts.
Exercise in these circumstances can lead to a catabolic state, which leads to the body using muscle and fat for energy replenishment.
Amino acids and BCAAs help provide the fuel the body needs without having to use muscle as energy.
