A Close-Up Look: SPORT boost

Lisa-Marie Müllner, RINGANA/ Research & Development

Summer – sun – movement: the next part of our summer blog series is devoted to the subject of sport. Since it’s so important to consume the right nutrients and get adequate fluid when practising sport, today we’re putting our SPORT boost “under the microscope”. In this instalment, Lisa-Maria Müllner from our Research & Development Department explains this innovative product in detail.

Why is it so important to supply our bodies with fluid when doing SPORT?
When we do sport, we lose more fluid, partly because of sweating. If we don’t replace that fluid, our cells gradually dry out. Even a slight lack of water can lead to a serious drop in performance. That’s why adequate fluid intake is crucial for performance before (prehydration), during and after sport, as well as afterwards during the regeneration phase.

What is SPORT boost and what is it used for?
SPORT boost is a sophisticated carbohydrate-electrolyte solution with carbohydrates that quickly and lastingly deliver energy, along with sport-relevant minerals, electrolytes and valuable bioactive components. This means that it lastingly helps to maintain athletic endurance and improves the absorption of water during physical activity. After sport, SPORT boost helps to replenish empty stores and promotes regeneration.

The new version of SPORT boost has a deliciously refreshing and exotic citrus flavour. In addition, it is naturally vegan and is produced sustainably.

What makes SPORT boost different from other carbohydrate-electrolyte solutions?
SPORT boost contains everything that an effective sports drink needs but without any artificial additives or flavourings. It scores with carbohydrates of varying complexity, electrolytes such as potassium from coconut water powder, chloride and sodium from sea salt, iron from Aspergillus oryzae fungus, and magnesium as citrate. In addition SPORT boost contains a lot of sport-relevant bioactive components and this is what sets it apart from the competition. These components include: polyphenol-rich extracts such as ViNitrox ™ apple-and-grape extract, Berryshield™ sour cherry extract, Recoverben® lemon verbena extract, L-Carnitine, BCAA from fermentation and natural Vitamin C from the acerola cherry. The fruity flavour is provided by passion fruit, sour cherry and lemon.

For whom is it suitable?
SPORT boost is ideal both for weekend warriors who do sport occasionally and for athletes with a daily training programme. It boosts performance, particularly with regard to endurance sports such as running, cycling, hiking, football and many others. SPORT boost is also the perfect companion at the gym, or when doing zumba, konga and the like, and it promotes athletic wellbeing.
