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.
