ALPHAZER
Enerfuel Liquid 300 ml - One Shot

Enerfuel® Liquid is a new generation dietary supplement, which takes the value of supplementation to a new level to promote intense and prolonged performance, in the form of a practical bottle that is ready to use and to go into action quickly.

Enerfuel® Liquid is born from the constant study and research of the work of the Alphazer® R&D department, which avails itself of the precious support of many athletes who, with continuous monitoring and feedbacks, can directly create products that meet their main needs in searching ever higher performance. This starts with the management of blood sugar to obtain greater energy stability and clarity, further favored by the energy boost given by caffeine. The combination of these components also promotes better oxygenation to the muscles involved, a rapid removal of lactic acid but without ceasing to support hydration, an extremely important factor in maintaining a performance as constant as possible.

Enerfuel® Liquid uses a series of top quality nutrients and new generation active elements without equal on the market, such as: Isomaltulose Palatinose®, Cyclodextrin Cluster Dextrin®, L-Citrulline, Beta-Alanine, Taurine, Coconut water freeze-dried, Caffeine, Watt'sUp®, Pycnogenol®, and Glycerol. Let's see their characteristics in detail.

Ciclodestrine(Cluster Dextrin®) are now the most innovative form of carbohydrates to be taken before / during / after performance. This very advanced form of carbohydrate, which has brought about a real revolution in the field of sports supplementation, is made up of particular glucose polymers, obtained from the reaction between amylopectin and a specific enzyme. This allows the formation of glucose polymers with a very particular cyclic structure, with exceptional characteristics of use and an average molecular weight of 160,000 Dalton. Furthermore, these polymers have a very low osmolarity, which favors a very rapid gastric emptying and an equally rapid intestinal absorption. The energy will then be released gradually, in order to provide “ready to use” energy.
Thanks to the listed characteristics, Cyclodextrins are the most soluble and rapidly absorbable form of new generation carbohydrate, compared to any other source (such as maltodextrin and glucose / dextrose). They also have an additional advantage: long-lasting energy support, which will be constantly favored over time, without incurring glycemic spikes and "crashes" and without excessively raising insulin levels. These problems, together with the limitations given by gastrointestinal disorders, have in the past often limited the use of carbohydrates during training.

Isomaltulose _(Palatinose ™) is a carbohydrate, a disaccharide made up of glucose and fructose. In nature it is present, albeit in rather low concentrations, in honey and cane sugar syrup. Its production takes place through modern enzymatic conversion techniques starting from sucrose and, like sucrose, is totally digested in the intestine. A peculiar structural feature is that the bonds of the molecules that form isomaltulose (alpha (a) -1,6-glycosidic) are more stable than those of the molecules present in sucrose. Per this reason, this disaccharide is highly appreciated by athletes who want to maintain optimal performance: blood sugar and insulin levels increase significantly less than when other sugars are consumed. The particular bond existing between its two components (fructose and glucose) is in fact such as to slow down the absorption rate. Subsequently our intestinal disaccharidases, enzymes capable of breaking the bond between the two sugars, will favor the absorption and bioavailability of the individual compounds. However, this process takes place much slower than what happens for other more well-known sugars (such as sucrose). Consequently, the blood glucose level and the insulin level will have a decidedly lower rise and without fluctuations, thus widening the temporal extension of the glycemic curve. This makes isomaltulose a slow-release energy source, able to support the body during prolonged and high intensity training sessions. without running into performance drops due to hypoglycemia or influenced and compromised by annoying gastrointestinal disorders (frequent with the use of other simple sugars). The effects of this disaccharide are confirmed both by the scientific literature and directly by athletes on the field.

L- Citrullineit is a non-essential amino acid, which takes its name from the fruit in which this substance was first isolated (watermelon, in Latin “citrullus”). It performs important functions in the body, as a key intermediate in the urea cycle, where superfluous amino groups are eliminated. The urea cycle is a cycle of biochemical reactions that produces urea starting from ammonia, a substance that is "toxic" to the body. The accumulation of which also hinders the formation of muscle glycogen and favors the onset of fatigue. The production of urea, enhanced by the introduction of Citrulline, is therefore essential for the elimination of these waste substances, which can affect the performance of athletes. Citrulline is also known for its stimulating action on vasodilation, as it is converted into L-arginine, thus obtaining a massive production of nitric oxide (NO). NO is a powerful molecule, which dilates blood vessels to allow muscles to receive more oxygen and nutrients, while at the same time removing metabolic wastes. Citrulline is also known for its antioxidant effects, and from recent experimental studies, also for its anabolic and anti-catabolic activities.

Beta -Alanineit is a non-essential amino acid, well known in the sports world for its effectiveness and credibility, supported by excellent confirmation given by numerous scientific studies. Once taken, β-alanine is combined with L-histidine to synthesize Carnosine, a dipeptide that is the real protagonist of the "buffer" effect on lactate. The supplementation of Beta Alanine has been shown to raise the levels of this molecule in the muscles by 80%, where it will act as a neutralizing agent towards hydrogen ions. In practical terms, it will reduce the accumulation of the annoying lactic acid in the muscles, significantly reducing muscle fatigue. Beta-Alanine is also an excellent antioxidant, useful against the formation of free radicals produced by exercise. The integration of this amino acid leads to increases in performance in terms of strength, and is recommended not only for training aimed at body building or Energy sports, but also in sports with sprint or intensity changes (such as cycling, athletics, crossfit or triathlon). Its supplementation for this type of sport allows a greater performance in terms of performance, proving to be a powerful support to curb fatigue and dispose of lactic acid. Furthermore, the supplementation of Beta-Alanine has also been found to be useful in preventing muscle decline (sarcopenia) in elderly subjects. but also in sports with sprints or changes in intensity (such as cycling, athletics, crossfit or triathlon). Its supplementation for this type of sport allows a greater performance in terms of performance, proving to be a powerful support to curb fatigue and dispose of lactic acid. Furthermore, the supplementation of Beta-Alanine has also been found to be useful in preventing muscle decline (sarcopenia) in elderly subjects. but also in sports with sprints or changes in intensity (such as cycling, athletics, crossfit or triathlon). Its supplementation for this type of sport allows a greater performance in terms of performance, proving to be a powerful support to curb fatigue and dispose of lactic acid. Furthermore, the supplementation of Beta-Alanine has also been found to be useful in preventing muscle decline (sarcopenia) in elderly subjects.

Taurine is a conditionally essential amino acid, known in sports supplementation as it promotes the reduction of oxidative damage induced by intense physical exercise . It promotes better peripheral oxygenation, as well as counteracting the accumulation of lactic acid, helping to maintain a more efficient muscle contractility, even during intense physical exercise. Its action intervenes in neurotransmission, membrane stabilization and neurological development, delaying the onset of central fatigue and muscle fatigue. Taurine also plays a fundamental role in the synthesis of bile acids, it is important for vision and eye health.

Coconut water has proven to be an excellent ally for the hydrogen-saline replenishment of the athlete and for its excellent thirst-quenching property, containing a high concentration of highly bioavailable mineral salts. In particular, in its composition we find potassium in high quantities (600 mg per liter, double compared to that contained in a banana), but also magnesium, sodium, calcium, phosphorus, manganese, zinc and iron. It is a food of great value, fat-free, cholesterol-free and with very little sugar.

Caffeine is the most historically used natural ergogenic substance in sports, as it contributes to increasing resistance to fatigue and improving performance, increasing tolerance to fatigue and pain threshold and also improving concentration. It is a psychostimulating substance capable of improving performance by promoting the use of fats as fuel, saving carbohydrates. It influences many biological reactions and, although its effects on the organism are numerous, most of them are due to its stimulating effects. A level of caffeine intake of up to 400mg per day does not pose safety problems in adult individuals but rather has a positive effect on the performance of most athletes.

Watt'sUp ® is a bioflavonoid derived from sweet orange in hesperidin. It is used for its properties in all types of sports, from strength sports to endurance sports, thanks to its ability to make the action of the mitochondria, our cellular "energy center", more efficient. By generating more ATP at constant oxygen levels, this results in increased energy, aerobic endurance, and anaerobic Energy. Furthermore, it improves tissue oxygenation, has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

Pycnogenol ® is a patent composed of a mixture of antioxidants extracted mainly from the French maritime pine bark . It represents one of the most potent antioxidant complexes in nature, as well as having a number of beneficial properties for various other aspects of health. In the field of sports performance, it is used not only as a very powerful antioxidant against free radicals produced by exercise, but also to improve resistance to fatigue, bringing a marked improvement in vascular microcirculation, capillary resistance and oxygenation of peripheral tissues. 

Glycerol _, or Glycerin, is a chemical compound consisting of two primary alcohol groups and a secondary alcohol group, and is known in sports as a hyper-hydrating agent with osmotic properties. It is used to prevent and mitigate states of dehydration with negative consequences on performance (but also on the entire health of the athlete). It is particularly known by cyclists, marathon runners or athletes who have to face long duration races and / or in adverse weather conditions, where it is easy to dehydrate. Glycerol acts on several fronts and once taken orally, it moves rapidly through the body fluids before being metabolized, and increases the osmotic pressure and the total volume of water in the body through the process of "osmosis". This happens because the water is able to diffuse across body membranes in response to changes in osmotic pressure. These changes are often caused by an imbalance between molecules on both sides of the membrane in question (in humans most commonly salt and water), and the body is well-calibrated to maintain intracellular osmotic pressure. The cells, in fact, regulate their volume to take into account the external pressure shifts. In raising the osmotic pressure inside the body fluids, glycerol for a certain period of time attracts and retains a greater influx of water throughout the body (up to its physiological metabolization), as if it were a "pump", increasing its overall volume effectively.
