ENDURANCE SUPPLEMENT GUIDE

THE IMPORTANCE OF USING THE CORRECT SUPPLEMENTS

Endurance athletes need top-quality nutritional support for peak performance.

When competing in endurance events, you can burn around 4 000 calories (16 700 kJ) over a period of four hours.

To put that into perspective, that’s the equivalent of one 1 kg tub of USN Pro Recover. Therefore, consuming enough easily digestible nutrients during and after your rides is crucial. Protein, as found in Pro Recover, is vital for muscle recovery as it’s broken down into amino acids to feed your working muscles.

The following pages will discuss the usage and benefits of each product.

CRAMP BLOCK

Phosphate loading for strength, endurance, recovery and fatigue reduction.

The harder your body works, the higher your demands for phosphates and electrolytes (your body’s ‘salts’) are. When you’re depleted, you compromise strength, endurance and physical and mental energy. Cramp Block should be used daily.

Maintain your phosphate saturation with 2-4 tablets daily.

For phosphate loading leading up to a race: Start 4-5 days prior by taking 6-8 tablets daily and then 2-4 tablets the morning before your race. In the case of stage races, take another four tablets after each stage.
