Q&A
| Q: |
When is the best time to use Myoplex® Sport
- before or after activity? |
| A: |
Myoplex Sport can be used either before or after activity.
It is especially beneficial when used before endurance activities
such as basketball, cycling, or distance running. The specialized
carbohydrate blend in Myoplex Sport helps to maximize glycogen
storage and provides adequate energy for prolonged exercise
[exertion]. Myoplex Sport is also valuable as a post-activity/exercise
meal supplement. Research has shown that consuming a carbohydrate
and protein combination post-exercise boosts insulin (a nutrient
storage hormone) and increases amino acid availability, protein
synthesis, and muscle tissue repair over carbohydrates alone.1,2,3
The carbohydrate and protein formula in Myoplex Sport has been
scientifically proven to stimulate insulin secretion and nutrient
storage more effectively than whole food meals consisting of
either carbohydrates alone or a carbohydrate/protein combination. |
| Q: |
Why are complex carbohydrates important? |
| A: |
Complex carbohydrates offer steadier levels of energy than
do simple carbohydrates and have a less pronounced impact on
blood sugar levels. Simple carbohydrates release sugar into
the bloodstream very rapidly. Although this is beneficial for
replenishing muscle sugar (glycogen) stores after an intense
training session, it may not be a wanted effect at other times
throughout the day. Consistent highs and lows of blood sugar
levels may contribute towards fat storage and lethargy. Complex
carbohydrates typically release sugar into the blood at a steadier
pace which may result in more consistent energy levels and a
lower likelihood that they will be stored as body fat (when
used in moderation). As such, the complex variety should be
the primary source of carbohydrates with meals each day. The
Myoplex Sport Bars and Powders contain a quality source of complex
carbohydrates for sustained energy levels for maximum performance. |
