● Endurance activity-specific energy
● Twofold energy from MCT fats and sugars
● With isomaltulose and beetroot juice
VO2 Aerobic Gel is an innovative single-dose pocket sized energy supplement designed for those who practise medium-intensity aerobic sports activities, that is between 30 and 60% of the maximum rate of oxygen consumption (VO2max).
At this metabolic rate during an aerobic exercise, the energy sources used by muscles are preferably fats and glucides in a somewhat balanced manner.
Until now, sports nutrition has always had little consideration for the use of fats as a source of energy, as their most natural form, oils, is more difficult to use and low-performing.
The digestion of fats takes up to 3 hours.
More recently, the introduction of particular fatty acids, the MCTs (medium chain triglycerides), which are simpler short-chain fats (6-12 carbon atoms), has been been gaining more interest in the field of sports nutrition and in diets called ketogenic, used both for sport and therapeutic purposes.
We know that fats, unlike other sources of energy, produce 9 kcal per gram, which means that they are able to provide energy for a long period of time, although it’s not as powerful as the energy gained from sugars.
Compared to common lipids, MCTs are much more rapidly absorbable and usable fats.
Moreover, VO2 Aerobic contains isomaltulose (Palatinose™), a low glycaemic index sugar, which guarantees constant and long-term energy.
Beetroot juice, which is a great resource in sports nutrition thanks to the presence of nitrate, provides a supply of complex sugars, facilitates the production of nitric oxide, and together with arginine AKG helps to supply muscles with oxygen, reduce fatigue, improve performance and accelerate recovery.
PACKAGING Monodose 30 ml Cola flavoured.
