As their name implies, intra workout supplements are dietary supplements that you ingest during workouts in order to maximize your workout experience. They can come in the form of either a powdered beverage that you add to water (much like a post-workout and pre-workout drink) or a pill that you take with your food after you finish eating. This is a particularly good option for busy professional athletes who don't have time to prepare a healthy meal beforehand but need an energy boost during their workouts. Intra-fit drinks usually come with the added advantage of providing you with extra protein and carbohydrates to fuel your body as you exercise without the guilt of using up valuable protein and carbohydrates with food. They can be taken just before and after your workout session, or combined with other supplements to make them even more effective.
The most popular Intra-fit supplements include HGH, the human growth hormone. This is a naturally produced product which is released by the pituitary gland. It enhances lean muscle mass, builds lean muscle, and helps your body metabolize protein and carbohydrates so that it can be converted into lean muscle tissue. It also helps your body produces higher levels of endurance, improves your immune function, increases blood flow to the muscles, and supports the functioning of your thyroid and pancreas. HGH is often taken as an injection or taken as a supplement to be distributed through the skin or to be taken before and after your workout session.
Another important Intra supplement is baasol. Baasol is derived from the root of the plant barberry (Rubia cordifolia). This ingredient is known to have beneficial effects on protein synthesis and metabolism. It also enhances the burning of fats and cholesterol. BCAAs, or Biogenic Amino Acids, are extracts from milk thistle (Cyperus rotundus). This ingredient not only enhances protein synthesis and metabolism but also speeds up the accumulation of amino acids in your muscles.
