Yamamoto Nutrition Legionarius 720 grams. Food supplement of Palatinose® isomaltulose and branched chain amino acids in a ratio of 2:1:1 from vegetal fermentation with the addition of coconut water and salts in citrate form.
YAMAMOTO® NUTRITION Yamamoto® Nutrition Legionarius - Food supplement of Palatinose® isomaltulose and branched chain amino acids in a ratio of 2:1:1 from vegetal fermentation with the addition of coconut water and salts in citrate form.
Legionarius is a food supplement of Palatinose® isomaltulose and branched chain amino acids in a ratio of 2:1:1 from vegetal fermentation with the addition of coconut water and salts in citrate form. The product is enriched with magnesium and potassium, which contribute to normal muscle function, and with vitamins B6 and B12, which together with magnesium contribute to normal energy metabolism and the reduction of tiredness and fatigue.
To maintain a prolonged performance over time without physical or concentration drops, it is necessary for the athlete to have constant energy support, avoiding dehydration as much as possible. Yamamoto® Nutrition's mission has always been to search for the most effective products created from excellent raw materials and designed to meet the needs of athletes of all levels. Thanks to the meticulous collaboration with professional athletes, to the continuous listening of their needs and to the collaboration between the international MMA champion Alessio Sakara and Dr. Gabriele Trapani (Director of the Research and Development Department, Yamamoto® Nutrition) we have created Legionarius, a supplement that supports the intense and prolonged training sessions typical of fighters and all combat disciplines, Cross Trainers, triathletes, marathon runners, cyclists and bodybuilding enthusiasts.
The professional is a "holistic athlete", intensely engaged on an aerobic and anaerobic basis, who combines reactivity with athletic gesture. He therefore needs to maintain his resistance for prolonged periods without energy drops, concentration drops or digestive disorders. Furthermore, he must be able to recover as quickly as possible.
Legionarius is a Special Edition developed on the needs directly indicated by the profound experience of a champion of the caliber of Alessio Sakara. Our research and development department has therefore focused on the most important critical issues that can arise during training or in a competition, to create a product designed "by athletes for athletes".
Legionarius is a mixture of elements to be taken during training (through your own water bottle) that allows you to create a gradual wave of energy to support the muscles engaged in the effort thanks to:
Branched chain amino acids with a very high degree of solubility from vegetal fermentation
Mineral salts in citrate form
Coconut water
In order to have the best energy output, in fact, in a delicate phase such as that of performance, the athlete must introduce fuel with high nutritional value and well tolerated by the body.
Isomaltulose Palatinose™
Isomaltulose (Palatinose™) is a disaccharide sugar with a low glycemic index whose molecule is formed by the union of two monosaccharide sugars, glucose and fructose. It is a natural sugar present in small quantities in honey and cane sugar, which has a sweetening Energy equal to 45-50% compared to sucrose (white sugar). Recently it has been finding more and more application as an ingredient in sports drinks for its interesting properties. Characterized by a very gradual process of absorption and release into the bloodstream, isomaltulose has a moderate glycemic curve over time, without peaks or sudden drops that can occur with other sources of carbohydrates (glucose or maltodextrins). It has therefore proven to be a slow-release energy source that can support the body during even very prolonged training sessions. Thanks to its structural characteristics, in addition to not excessively raising blood sugar and insulin Energy, it does not lead to the onset of gastrointestinal disorders such as fermentation phenomena, nausea, osmotic diarrhea, providing constant energy and hydration thanks to a reduced osmolarity.
Branched-chain amino acids
Branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs) are known and appreciated by both Energy and endurance athletes. These are three of the essential amino acids:
Leucine
Valine
Isoleucine
Three substances that our body cannot produce on its own and must introduce through food. BCAAs are absorbed through the intestinal mucosa and, through the blood, pass as free amino acids directly into the tissues. Unlike other amino acids, they are metabolized directly in the muscles, without being broken down or rebuilt by the liver. BCAAs have always been used in sports because they represent a large portion of the essential amino acids present in human muscles. They are taken to counteract muscle degradation (catabolism) induced by training and are potentially beneficial in Energy and endurance sports both as support for the muscles and to help counteract the onset of fatigue. During long sessions of intense physical activity, it is easy to be close to exhausting muscle glycogen. When this happens, you enter a state of energy "emergency", for which the body will use an alternative energy reserve, activating the enzyme involved in the oxidation of BCAAs in the muscle. It will therefore draw on the source of muscle Protein, to the detriment of performance itself and muscle recovery.
Mineral salts, electrolytes, coconut water
In addition to the blood sugar balance, which we have already discussed, another factor is also essential for athletes: hydration. An excessive decrease in fluids can, in fact, be detrimental to performance and health. To alter performance, it is enough to exceed the threshold of 2% of the initial body mass of fluids lost and not compensated. When this threshold is exceeded, the main physiological changes that can be observed are a series of disorders that go beyond the drop in performance. I am talking about an accelerated degree of psychophysical fatigue, an increase in temperature, heart rate (due to a reduced circulating blood volume), glycogen consumption, altered metabolic functions, gastrointestinal disorders, headaches, cognitive disorders, up to collapse. It is therefore clear that maintaining a good electrolyte balance before, during and after a performance is essential. Thanks to the LEGIONARIUS drink, it is possible to combat dehydration thanks to the contribution of precious support elements such as:
Electrolytes
Magnesium
Potassium
Chlorine
Furthermore, there is the added value of a natural pool of microelements with high rehydrating Energy such as coconut water, which help to stay correctly hydrated and prevent cramps caused by intense sweating or activities carried out at high temperatures.
Yamamoto® Nutrition relies only and exclusively on certified and accredited raw materials. Raw materials certified as grade A for the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety Issue 8 and produced in facilities registered by Informed-Sport. Once the raw material arrives in Italy, it is subjected to strict quality tests. The batches are sampled and tested before proceeding to the creation of the finished product according to regulations and production in Italian factories. In addition to analyses on intolerances such as gluten and lactose.
