What are Intra-Workout Supplements?
An intra-workout supplement is something you can take during your workout or sport to help maximise your performance in the gym, on the track, or on the pitch.
From intra-workout carbs to amino acids, we’ve got a range of products to help push your performance. Check out of specially designed Intra Workout, our refreshing formula is perfect for sipping on during any workout. We’ve combined fast-releasing carbs, with amino acids, and electrolytes to help replenish the salts lost through exercise.
Our Intra-Workout Carbs
Taking carbohydrates during exercise can help boost your performance, providing that quick source of energy — when you need it most. Carbohydrates are a key source of energy for your body, making our range of carbs perfect for keeping you topped up and ready to achieve your goals.
Our 100% Dextrose Glucose Carbs are made entirely from dextrose powder. This sweet-tasting carb is fast-absorbing and perfect for anyone looking for a super-quick boost of carbs.
We’ve also got 100% Maltodextrin Carbs, that are packed with 50g of carbs per serving — that’s fast-digesting for a great immediate energy source.
Our Intra-Workout Amino Acids
With a 2:1:1 ratio of leucine, isoleucine, and valine — our Essential BCAA 2:1:1 provides the optimal ratio of amino acids to support your fitness goals. As they’re essential amino acids, they can’t be produced by the body, so must come from our diet.
If you’re looking for our most advanced amino formula, The Amino+ is for you. Powered by PhaseTech™ delayed-release technology, and packed with 14g of amino acids, it’s delivers the perfect boost when you need it most.*
And, if you’re looking for a supplement that provides a stimulating caffeine pick-me-up, The Amino Energy will help fuel your body and mind.1 With 3g of BCAAs, natural sources of caffeine, and vitamin C, it’s the ideal intra-workout supplement to help you reach your fitness goals.*
