PhD Battery +/-3 Description
Energy output is a complex matter. We all need a certain amount of carbohydrates
to ensure that our glycogen stores are fully stocked to ensure we can perform
to our optimum ability during exercise. This is an accepted fact. Slightly
more complicated is the matter of pre-workout energy continuation and post
workout glycogen replenishment. Different carbohydrate sources with different
Glycemic measurements are required to satisfy these varying requirements.
It's additionally important that along with the triple-charged carbohydrate
content of Battery +/- 3™, amino acids that are vital to the muscle
preservation process are also included.
This is why PhD invented Battery +/-3™
Step 1- Long and mid-term energy- Battery+/-3™: contains fructose
and maltodextrin to ensure that when taken before and during exercise,
the blood sugar spike will not be so great that it impairs long and mid-term
performance. Fructose has a low glycemic rating (GI 23) so it's conversion
to blood sugar is slow and steady. Maltodextrin has been used throughout
the years as a complex carbohydrate, though in reality, it is sufficient
for mid-term energy storage and additionally effective when used post
exercise to replenish glycogen stores and ensure complete and efficient
recovery from training.
Step 2- Immediate glycogen replenishment: High Impact carbs Dextrose
monohydrate has a high-glycemic rating ensuring immediate and effective
glycogen replenishment and an instant elevation of blood sugar for complete
recovery. This particular process becomes vital upon the conclusion of
a workout. This is the period when glycogen reserves have been drained
and need immediate replenishment.
Step 3- Added Branched Chain Amino Acids and L-Glutamine: BCAA's are
considered the critical cluster of amino acids, the most vital of all.
PhD Nutrition consider Leucine, Iso-leucine and Valine as integral inclusions
within Battery+/-3™ for the important role they play in helping
the body preserve muscle tissue throughout times of stress and during
and after periods of intense exercise.
Leucine, Iso-leucine and Valine have long been heralded within the sports
nutrition world. BCAA's are needed for the maintenance of muscle tissue
and appear to preserve muscle stores of glycogen. This ensures an anabolic
and anti-catabolic environment, therefore minimising any potential muscle-loss
whilst maximising the potential for muscle repair. Due to this glycogen-sparing
action, BCAA's may help prevent muscle breakdown during exercise. L-Glutamine
is one of the most used supplements within sports nutrition and in particularly
the body building world. Famed for its ability to aid in the anti-catabolic
process, L-Glutamine is a vital inclusion within Battery+/-3.
Recommended Use:
Before: Use a 40 gram serving of Battery+/-3™ immediately prior
to intense exercise, whether this be weight training, cycling, long distance
running, rugby, it doesn't matter. Any athletic pursuit that requires
sustainable energy.
During: As glycogen stores begin to dwindle, fatigue may set in. This
is when a 40-60 gram serving of Battery+/-3™ during exercise can
be vital. If you are in the middle of a 2-3 hour run or bike ride, using
Battery +/-3™ during exercise could be your saviour.
After: Upon completing an intense workout, glycogen reserves are diminished.
You need replenishment and quickly. The simple carbohydrates present in
Battery+/-3™ will do the job and they'll do it quick. I always have
reservations about simply using dextrose alone at this period. In the
past, when following this practise, I experienced a huge blood sugar crash
some 45-60 minutes later. If you cannot eat at this period, then the crash
is not healthy. This is why we include fructose in the product. Battery+/-3™
will be ingested quickly enough to replenish muscle glycogen stores, but
not so quick that the crash will occur. Depending upon body weight and
exercise performed, I would recommend between 60 grams (3 scoops) and
100 grams (5 scoops) of Battery+/-3™ at this stage.
