Endurance athletes regularly push their bodies to the limit in order to beat their opponents and achieve a personal best. Maintaining fitness and the ability to compete at top levels without suffering injury and loss of stamina is a constant struggle. Most athletes find they need to boost their diet with sports supplements but getting the balance just right is crucial.
CNP Professional, a specialist leading sports nutrition company, has researched exactly what these endurance athletes need to keep competing at their peak performance levels and launched the Endurance Stack – a combination of the best supplements to fulfil maximum energy demands and optimise recovery before, during and after an event.
“As former athletes ourselves we understand the demands sport places on the body,” says Kerry Kayes, founder of CNP. “With the Endurance Stack we’ve put together a package of three of our popular products to help the athlete go that extra mile.”
The Endurance Stack contains a 500gm tub of Pro Energy, a complex carbohydrate energy fuel that is ideal for carbohydrate loading in the run-up to an event or before training. It can be used the night before and even up to two hours before the event without the risk of bloating. Pro Energy contains a blend of time-release maltodextrin for a sustained performance.
Keeping hydrated during a long event is absolutely essential so CNP has included a 500gm tub of Pro Hydrate in the Endurance Stack. Pro Hydrate is a complex carbohydrate drink that provides sustained energy during events plus electrolytes to replace lost salts and improve hydration. With added protein, Taurine, for super hydration and to increase blood flow to the muscles, Pro Hydrate out performs water or isotonic drinks that do not encourage fluids into the blood and cells until dehydration has started.
To give the body the nutrients it needs to recover from long periods of intense exercise recovery CNP recommends using the third component of the Endurance Stack – a 1.2kg tub of Pro Recover. Pro-Recover is a post-workout drink containing a blend of high glycemic (fast-acting) carbohydrates and fast-acting proteins to aid muscle repair and strengthening. It also contains Vitamins C and E, antioxidants that help to limit the muscle damage caused by intense exercise.
Each component of the Endurance Stack is taken individually and full instructions for mixing the supplements are included on the respective tubs. The Endurance Stack is available from the CNP website www.cnpprofessional.co.uk at a discounted price of £33.72 – a saving of 28 per cent on the price of the individual items.
