The most demanding athlete knows all too well the importance of an effective food supplement combined with their comprehensive daily nutrition. Science and the feedback received from the frontline regarding athletes’ needs allow us to make significant progress in developing increasingly-effective supplements. In recent times, one of the most important topics regarding nutrition and sports supplements concerns the specific “peri-workout” period, being before, during and after sports training. It is a critical time for the athlete, given that particular systemic biochemical situations arise that can be manipulated, favouring both the performance itself and - above all - the subsequent recovery, ensuring faster and more effective recuperation. In this regard, “intra-workout” drinks have become increasingly popular. Until a few years ago they were overly subject to “restrictions”, with a tendency to provoke an overload of the digestive organism, taking away precious blood from the muscles, frequently causing gastrointestinal disorders or dips in blood glucose with consequent obvious negative effects on training. With the new intra-workout beverage concept, all these factors have been brilliantly overcome. Yamamoto® Nutrition was the European innovator of this type of integrative support during and after training, with the launch of particular and specific elements such as cyclodextrins, various forms of hydrolysed proteins, or L-Alanyl-L-Glutamine (Sustamine) to name a few. With the development of the “FLEX SERIES” range, being highly sought-after by our Mr Olympia 212 Flex Lewis, we present the workhorse by which it is represented, a mixture to be taken in the “intra-workout” period, developed to better support the needs of any high-level athlete, with the best that science and quality raw materials can offer the market. From these principles comes ENERGAN - from the athlete, for the athlete - supported by the most advanced scientific research. ENERGAN is a beverage based on Highly-Branched Cyclodextrins (HBCD or, Cluster Dextrin®), an element that has brought the concept of using carbohydrates during training to a new level, becoming a true support and markedly-influential sustenance during the workout and for muscle recovery. Cyclodextrins are the most innovative form of carbohydrates to date, best taken during and/or after training, being particular glucose polymers derived from the reaction between amylopectin with a specific enzyme to form a glucose polymer with a characteristic cyclic structure bearing an exceptional applicative potential. Cyclodextrins have an average molecular weight
