Let's go into the specifics of two Volchem supplements, Mirabol e isodrinkThe first consists of a powder that dissolves perfectly in liquids (but also in yogurt, for example) with a high quantity of proteins. isodrink instead it is a isotonic supplement very versatile, perfect during exercise, but also suitable for hydrating before and after training.
We tried these two supplements, but to better contextualize we asked for some more information from Andrea Volpato by Volchem.
Mirabol, not just proteins
It looks like an impalpable dust at times (we tried it in the neutral flavour) and one of the main and particularly appreciable characteristics is that it melts completely and quicklyCombined with liquids (for example water, milk and/or fruit purees), or with more or less dense yogurts, Mirabol it does not clump, it is not annoying and invasive, with the added value of the neutral taste that does not alter the aroma of the basic food with which it is combined. Furthermore, it is not sweet and does not induce saliva. Protein and a large variety (and quantity) of amino acidsi, but also the glutamine, Volchem Mirabol is complete in every respectIt is gluten-free and has a less than 1% lactose.
We can consider the Mirabol a specific supplement for recovery?
Mirabol is a supplement with a very high whey protein content and is ideal for muscle recovery after training and to promote protein synthesis.
When is it most effective?
Whey proteins are rapidly absorbed and can be taken throughout the day. For athletes, it is recommended to take it after training or after a competition..
A supplement like the Mirabol, so rich and complete, does it interfere in any way with normal nutrition?
No, and it is necessary to respect the indicated doses, unless you have particular pathologies, since it is a product used by athletes. As always, If you are following a specific diet, it is advisable to consult your nutritionist to include the product in the diet.
Isodrink, universal isotonic
It's not that easy to find a saline-based supplement, effective, suitable for different moments of the day and with a pleasant taste that doesn't tire. Sometimes the isotonic supplements and soluble foods in this category are too sweet, too high in carbohydrates, or too low in fat and to find the right balance between hydration, gratification and energy supply, they must be combined with other supplements.
Volchem Isodrink has everything you need and it's very good. There is a optimal amount of carbohydrates, completely tolerable even by those who are not used to taking high doses of sugar, suitable for before, during and after activities. There are the mineral salts in non-excessive quantities and those most involved in sweating and during exercise. There is a notable amount of Vitamin C.
Here too we have a fine powder supplement (not in crystals) which dissolves very easily, with a pleasant taste (we tried the peach one), intense, but not too sweetEven on hot days, when it inevitably heats up inside the bottle, it never gives off a “chemical” or overly sugary taste.
What role do glucose polymers play?
I glucose polymers, or corn maltodextrins, are indicated in endurance sports and induce a high glycemic response.
Volchem Isodrink, a rehydrating drink with lots of carbohydrates. Can we also consider it an energy drink?
The tonicity or osmolarity of a solution is determined by the number of charged particles dissolved. The osmolarity of blood is approximately 300 mOsmol/liter so a drink is hypo, iso or hyper-tonic if its osmolarity is respectively less than, equal to, or greater than 300 mOsmol/litre. 30 gram solution of Isodrink allows you to have one isotonic drink, 301 mOsmol/liter. It means an osmolarity equal to that of blood.
What does it mean from a physiological point of view?
It depends on the goal you have set. The advantage of Isodrink is that it offers a constant and optimal balance, when you are looking for an energetic, hydrating/energetic and re-hydrating effect. 30 grams of Isodrink dissolved in half a litre of water they allow you to satisfy different needs.
An isotonic drink with a high glycemic index. Is Isodrink recommended for specific moments during exercise?
As mentioned above, when the indicated doses are respected, Volchem Isodrink is always suitableTaken before exercise, it's useful for storing energy and staying well hydrated. Taken during exercise, it's useful as a supplement, and afterward, it's a great aid for recovery.
