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.
