ProAction Mineral Plus 400 g supplement

Mineral Plus is an isotonic salt product, designed for complete reintegration of liquids and salts lost during and after physical exertion through sweating, particularly sodium, magnesium, potassium and chlorine; preventing, among other things, the onset of muscle cramps. It is also fortified with maltodextrins and dextrose to promote energy during activity, as well as immediate and gradual energy recovery after exercise. Intake of water alone increases susceptibility to cramps, Mineral Plus, thanks to the presence of carbohydrates and minerals, decreases the likelihood of muscle cramps occurring. In addition to Magnesium, Sodium and Potassium, ProAction Mineral Plus contains maltodextrins, a source of readily available carbohydrates that develop a lower osmotic pressure than simple low-molecular-weight carbohydrates, 1/5 of the weight of glucose; this ensures rapid gastric emptying and therefore faster plasma absorption. The intake of maltodextrins is very useful during physical activity, when it comes to endurance training over a long period of time, as they help stabilise energy intake over time, thus avoiding spikes or sudden drops in blood glucose.

Mineral Plus has a special saline energy formulation and also contains dextrose, which is the body's main quick-use energy source and can also be stored in the muscles in the form of muscle glycogen. Dextrose is therefore very useful during sporting activity, when the muscles must always be supplied with fuel in order to avoid the infamous “seizure” or simply energy drops. Thanks to the presence of slow and fast carbohydrates, Mineral Plus can also be taken before training or a competition, when it is important to arrive in optimal condition with an ideal energy level. During endurance sports, it is important to try to keep the energy level constant, which is why for physical exertion lasting more than an hour or of particular intensity, it is also necessary to supplement with products that are immediately assimilated and do not require digestion. We recommend using Mineral Plus from an hour after the start of physical activity, when the need for saline rehydration becomes essential for physical balance.

Why is it important to replenish mineral salts?
Mineral salts perform very important functions for our bodies, in fact they regulate processes such as oxygen transport to cells and muscle contraction essential for movement and the functioning of the nervous system. When exercise goes on for several hours or is done in hot, humid environments, it is essential to replenish sodium lost through sweat to prevent hyponatremia. Mineral Plus is an isotonic product, which means its intake does not dilute the blood and counteracts hyponatremia compared to hypotonic drinks or water intake alone.

Suggested Use
Dissolve 30 g of the product (two tablespoons) in 500 ml of water. Take before, during or after physical activity.

Why choose it
Mineral Plus is essential for the body's salt rehydration as it is rich in Magnesium and Potassium. It prevents the onset of muscle cramps, so it is especially useful in long-duration sports. In addition, the supply of Maltodextrin and Dextrose also provides constant energy during exertion. It also provides sodium and chlorine, which are essential to replenish during and after physical exertion. Since it is an isotonic product, it avoids hyponatremia that could come from ingesting only water and hypotonic products.
