INSTEAD OF ENERGY DRINK AND COFFEE
We can boost ourselves without harmful additives, side effects and skyrocketing blood pressure. But what does this have to do with watermelon?
American elite athletes have been using a naturally derived, licensed (doping- and side-effect-free) product for years, which not only significantly pushes the fatigue threshold, but also increases physical strength and reduces mental fatigue, while not raising blood pressure. It does not contain sugar or artificial additives, as in energy drinks, it does not contain caffeine or taurine, but according to many, it is much more effective.
Its effectiveness is so convincing that it has spread from the world of competitive sports, first among hobby athletes, and then among people who live a physically and mentally active life. Many people have replaced their morning coffee with it, others drink it to avoid the afternoon low. Consumed before running, weight training, cycling, martial arts or any other physical activity, it is now one of the most popular sources of energy, but it is also used for physical work. What is this super substance?
THINGS YOU DIDN'T KNOW ABOUT PEANUTS AND MALIC ACID
Watermelon contains the amino acid citrulline . Citrulline is a precursor of arginine production, it naturally increases the synthesis of arginine and ornithine. Thanks to this, it supplies blood to the muscles, increases strength levels and improves performance. Of course, you can't eat enough watermelon to feel the positive effects of citrulline, but the good news is that you can get it in a concentrated form, as a food supplement. But citrulline is only one side of the coin…
The other big gun is malate , better known as malic acid, the natural constituent of fruits. Malate jump-starts the aerobic metabolism and accelerates the recycling of lactate. In this way, the use of malt reduces the root causes of fatigue.
NOW COMES TO THE POINT
It is clear from the above that citrulline and malate are effective energizers by themselves, but there is a special combination of these two substances, which is simply called citrulline -malate. There are several versions with the same name, but the real one is the 2:1 citrulline malate. It is a white powder that can be mixed with water and consumed. It is unnecessary to flavor it with aromas, since it has a pleasant, cooling, citrusy taste by itself; it's like lemonade without the sugar, but not as sour. In the heat of summer or heated up from sports, the taste is especially refreshing, and the effect is unsurpassed.
Pure citrulline malate is also available in Hungary, marketed by Panhellen under the name Radical. Today, more and more domestic competitive and hobby athletes use it on a daily basis. If you want more energy, mental freshness and less fatigue, try it yourself. The icing on the cake is that it is not expensive: you can get it in a 100-serving package for around HUF 8,990, so 1 serving is approx. HUF 89, which is not much compared to a coffee, not to mention energy drinks and energy gels costing hundreds of forints.
