Agisko Energy Gel

GENERALITIES:

Agisko Gel is an innovative product of outstanding quality and extremely technical. It is the final result of many years of study and research. It is made up of simple, medium and complex carbohydrates and MCT's and represents the result of years of study in the field of energetic foods.

The special composition of this product has been studied both to provide first quality energy during physical activity and to allow the body to optimise recovery times.

Agisko Gel aims at satisfying the demands of athletes practicing a physical activity with commitment. Therefore, they must be able to rely on products which can guarantee them a high, long-lasting, healthy, digestible energy supply and which can respond to their expectations, even in most extreme circumstances.

As result of it’s particular composition and gel consistence Agisko gel is the most digestible and safe energy product on the market and it is far ahead of all the other energy supplements.

AGISKO CARBOHYDRATES:

Even though sugars are the core of metabolism, they must be used with caution: as a matter of fact, the intake of too many sugars of the wrong type before or during an effort can prove to be counterproductive and provoke a situation known as "reactive hypoglycaemia". This is a frequent mistake that happens using many of the energy products on the market. It can be avoided using Agisko Gel, whose carbohydrate mix does not change the glycaemia curve.

OTHER BENEFITS OF AGISKO GEL’S CARBOHYDRATES:

If compared to products containing only few kind of carbs, the Agisko’s multicarbohydrates presence guarantees a greater absorption and therefore the maximum use of the energy they offer. Using products which provide “fuel” only through the usual carbohydrates (maltodextrine, fructose, sucrose) there is the serious risk of exploiting the energetic potential only partially, for saturation phenomena may arise.

AGISKO MCTS (MEDIUM CHAIN TRIGLYCERIDES):

These are special fat acids which boost unique physiological characteristics and, if added in extremely precise percentages to carbohydrates, have a very particular metabolism in the human body.

We use MCT's in Agisko Gel for:

• ADDITIONAL ENERGY SOURCE:

  If properly used and administered with a balanced dosage, MCT's offer enormous advantages to those a practicing physical activity for they allow the use of an additional energy source and therefore have more glycogen at disposal under normal circumstances when it would be over. MCT's are rapidly absorbed as glucose, but without the same negative effects of glucose on insulin.

• PROTECTIVE FUNCTION:

  Another very important aspect linked with the presence of MCT's is the protection function which these substances offer to the cardiac muscle. In biochemical literature there are numerous references to this characteristic of MCT's. Other types of products may create an energetic unbalance between voluntary muscles and the cardiac muscle. This does not benefit at all from the carbohydrates intake. Agisko Gel, thanks to its particular composition contributes to rebalancing this gap.
