Maltodextrins are water-soluble complex carbohydrates obtained by hydrolysis from starch; depending on the degree of depolymerization, more or less long glucose chains are obtained, characterized by the "dextrose equivalent" (DE) index inversely proportional to their absorption speed. Depending on their energetic role, they are widely used in "pure" form especially in endurance sports, but are also very useful in the case of activities aimed at increasing body mass, in order to avoid the depletion of reserves and therefore a decrease ponderal.

Proteins are complex nitrogenous organic compounds which, like other nutrients, must be ingested regularly through the diet. Protein requirements are generally related to body weight, but also to the physical activity carried out daily; people who practice competitive sports and bodybuilders, for example, need a higher protein intake than normal, due to the greater muscle work which increases turnover; furthermore, they contribute to an increase in lean mass and support normal bone trophism.

One of the strong points of the product is the combination of these two macronutrients (whey proteins and maltodextrins) with micronutrients such as vitamins and minerals, which intervene in numerous organic reactions also related to sporting activity, amino acids such as glutamine, BCAAs and arginine, particularly abundant in muscle tissue, and other functional substances. In particular, vitamins such as thiamine, riboflavin and vitamin B6 help to support normal energy metabolism, i.e. the production of cellular energy from food; furthermore, vitamin B6 contributes to the regular metabolism of proteins and glycogen and to the normal formation of red blood cells, responsible for transporting oxygen to the tissues.

Niacin, folic acid and magnesium help reduce tiredness and fatigue, while vitamin E and zinc are useful for protecting cells from oxidative stress, which is particularly marked in athletes who train regularly, who consume a large quantity of oxygen. high. Although physical activity helps protect the body from these threats, the production of free radicals in the athlete is increased, therefore some vitamins such as vitamin E and some minerals such as zinc are of particular importance in these conditions. Vitamin B6, folic acid and riboflavin also contribute to the regular functioning of the immune system; magnesium, calcium and potassium intervene in the processes of muscle contraction and relaxation, proving fundamental for integration during intense sport and in nerve transmission mechanisms.
