Sports Nutrition

When you provide your body's cells with the nutrition they need, you enable your body to function at its very best. As a result, your metabolic rate improves, you feel more balanced, your immune system is supported, energy levels soar and your body can stay active longer.

Micronutrients are required for you to get the maximum benefit from the macronutrients(protein, carbohydrates and fats).

Many sports people  consume sugary snacks and drinks which can put the body in storage mode when it needs to be in release mode.

Athletes and their nutritionists spent much of their time focusing on two aspects of sports nutrition - quantity (how much food the athlete is eating) and quality (the type of nutrient, such as carbohydrate, protein or fat). Now, researchers have confirmed what bodybuilders and strength athletes have known for years - the fact that nutrient timing also makes a big difference to gains in performance.

Herbalife24 is the new range aimed at elite athletes and used by teams such as Barcelona FC. Formula 1 gets unbelievable results, Formula 1 Sport even better!

Fuelling at Meal Times

Formula 1 - Easily absorbed and assimilated "6 star fuel" . Soy protein, complex carbs, vitamins and minerals. Mixing with water is a good option prior to the workout or competition as many athletes don't like milk sugar (lactose) prior to exercise. Add fruits.

New Herbalife 24 Formula 1 Sport -  Milk protein, complex carbs, vitamins and minerals. Includes L-Glutamine supports muscle growth and immune function. Even more micronutrients than the regular Formula 1, as exercise drains nutrients from the body.

Formula 2 -  Take this micronutrient supplement with meals. We're seeing a gradual erosion of the nutritional value of food... in everything from the vitamin C content of oranges through to the zinc and copper levels in corns and other grains. Micronutrients play key roles in the metabolism of carbohydrates and fats which are your primary muscle fuels during exercise. They’re also involved in the repair and building of muscle protein in response to training. If a particular micronutrient is in short supply, its enzyme is like a motor with fouled spark plugs; it can’t function at full capacity, and you can’t operate at your best.
