Intra-Workout Supplements

Intra-workout supplements are any products that can be taken during athletic performance.

Gensan intra-workout supplements are designed to increase strength during exercise, maintain a stable blood sugar level, and combat muscle fatigue while ensuring optimal hydration and immediate recovery.

During long or very intense workouts, carbohydrate intake can help better manage energy needs: Cyclodex Complete, a cyclodextrin-based supplement, provides energy gradually and with good gastric tolerance. In cases of heavy sweating or high temperatures, a hypotonic drink with electrolytes, such as Ipotonic Adhoc Plus, is a good addition to the routine for those seeking hydration and fluid-electrolyte balance. For those looking for convenient formats, gels such as Carbogel offer convenient carbohydrate management during activity. Creatine powder is included in daily intake protocols for saturating muscle stores and is not strictly related to intake during training; It can however be included in an intra-workout drink as the timing of intake is flexible and it is often combined with carbohydrates for convenience.

• Assess the duration and intensity of your workouts: for short and not overly intense sessions, water may suffice, while intra-workout supplements become useful when you exceed 60-70 minutes, have many demanding sets, or engage in endurance sports; the longer and more continuous the effort, the more it makes sense to consider carbohydrates and electrolytes to better manage energy depletion and sweating. In these contexts, energy gels like Carbogel or complete blends like Cyclodex Complete find their most natural use.

• If the focus is energy, consider gels or powders based on carbohydrates and cyclodextrins. If you need to manage energy drops in races or long outings, Carbogel offers a blend of carbohydrates with different absorption rates, designed to provide immediate and longer-lasting energy in a practical, portable format. For those who prefer a drink to sip, Cyclodex Complete combines highly branched cyclodextrins, BCAAs, creatine, potassium, and magnesium, making it interesting for intense and prolonged efforts where a well-tolerated carbohydrate supply and a more complete formulation are needed.

• If you sweat a lot or train in the heat, prioritize a hypotonic drink with electrolytes. On hot days, during indoor workouts in poorly ventilated spaces, or when you notice particularly abundant sweating, a solution like Ipotonic Adhoc Plus can be a targeted choice: it is a powdered hypotonic drink based on mineral salts, designed to replenish water and salt losses and support fluid and electrolyte balance. You can use it alone for moderate workouts or combine it with gels and carbohydrates for longer sessions.

• Incorporate creatine into your daily routine: powdered creatine is suitable for adults who perform intense physical exercise and is generally taken daily for defined periods, according to the doses indicated on the label. The timing of intake is flexible: you can add it to your intra-workout drink (for example, together with Cyclodex Complete) or take it at other times of the day. It is always recommended to seek advice from a nutrition professional.
