SHOT PRE MATCH+

During physical activity, energy reserves are depleted and since they are limited, if not adequately and promptly restored, can occur a sudden drop in performance. For athletes engaged in prolonged physical effort, it is very important to supply energy to the active muscles.

SHOT PRE MATCH+ is a food supplement based on carbohydrates, vitamins, caffeine, taurine and mate extract, in practical ready-to-drink shot. The product is suitable for athletes who are preparing intense training or important races and competitions. SHOT PREMATCH+ provides vitamins C, B12 and niacin, which contribute to normal energy metabolism, to the reduction of tiredness and fatigue and magnesium, which supports regular muscle function. The mate extract, on the other hand, has an antioxidant and tonic action against physical and mental tiredness, while caffeine helps to increase the state of alertness and improve concentration.

SHOT PRE MATCH+ also contains maté extract rich in polyphenols (including flavonoids), phenolic acids (chlorogenic and caffeic acids), methylxanthines (caffeine) and saponins. On a sporting level, the most interesting activities of matè extract are:

• tonic-stimulating action: helps fight fatigue, increasing physical energy and sense of vigor and improves attention;
• antioxidant action: counteracts the action of free radicals, which are produced during physical activity.

Finally, SHOT PRE MATCH+ is enriched with caffeine and taurine.

Caffeine is a fat-soluble molecule that belongs to the methylxanthine family. The action of caffeine at a sporting level has been investigated for several times and it has been shown that this substance has positive effects in endurance sports and, according to more recent analyses, also in short-term and high-intensity exercises. The ergogenic effect of caffeine occurs through direct and indirect action. The direct action is linked to the ability of caffeine to act as an antagonist of adenosine, reducing the sensation of perceived fatigue. The indirect action, however, is linked to the ability of caffeine to stimulate the release of catecholamines (adrenaline and norepinephrine) which play a role in the control of motor and mental functions. Some studies have shown that caffeine is able to implement cognitive abilities, improve alertness and attention levels, mental clarity and memory, the ability to concentrate and make decisions. Furthermore, it is able to stimulate an increase in the pain threshold and slow down the onset of fatigue.

Taurine is an amino acid derivative synthesized by our body starting from methionine and cysteine ​​in the presence of vitamin B6. It is found in many body areas including brain, skeletal and smooth muscle, myocardium and retina. At a sporting level, the scientific literature on the use of taurine to improve physical performance is conflicting, some studies have shown that supplementation could be useful for:

• reduce oxidative damage induced by intense physical exercise
• increase cardiac contractility during exercise, allowing better peripheral oxygenation
• delay the onset of central fatigue and muscle tiredness.
