Good performance on the bike starts with training, healthy nutrition, and sufficient recovery. Sports supplements for cyclists can be a targeted addition to this.
From daily support to sports nutrition during a long ride: the Sanas range offers various options. Which products suit which moment?
Daily support for cyclists
Cartiplus
Cartiplus is a collagen shot with vitamin C. Vitamin C contributes to normal collagen formation for the normal function of cartilage and bones. This makes Cartiplus easy to integrate into the daily routine of an active athlete.
Vitamins and Immunoplus
Vitamin supplements are particularly interesting when there is a concrete need for them. Therefore, have any potential deficiencies assessed by a doctor or dietitian.
Immunoplus also fits within the Sanas range. It boosts your immunity, perfect for traveling athletes. Always check the composition and recommended daily allowance for vitamins and minerals.
Sports supplements for cyclists for exertion
Beet Fuel
Beet Fuel is a concentrated shot based on beet, among other ingredients. Beets are naturally a source of nitrate. The body can convert nitrate into nitric oxide (NO), a substance involved in regulating blood flow, among other things. Nitrate is one of the supplements for which there is scientific evidence in specific sports situations.
Creatine
Creatine is mainly known from strength sports, but it can also be interesting for cyclists who perform many short, explosive efforts. Think of sprinters or riders who repeatedly need to accelerate. Creatine supports energy supply during short, maximal efforts.
Beta-alanine
Long-term use of Beta-alanine increases the amount of carnosine in the muscles. Carnosine plays a role in buffering acidification during intensive efforts. The effect builds up over several weeks. Therefore, it is not a supplement you take only just before a competition.
What do you use while cycling?
During long rides, carbohydrates, electrolytes, and fluids are central.
Isotonic Sports Drink combines fluids, carbohydrates, and minerals like sodium. Energy gels offer a practical way to take in extra carbohydrates on the go. For those who prefer solid food, there are also Energy bars.
Sanas deliberately keeps this sports nutrition practical. This way, you can combine gels, bars, and sports drinks according to the duration and intensity of your ride.
Guaranol, Alphamax, and Nitro Fuel
There are also options for specific race moments. Guaranol is a concentrated caffeine shot. Alphamax delivers 90 grams of carbohydrates per 500 ml bottle and can be useful when eating becomes difficult during an intensive race phase.
Nitrofuel is a pre-workout shot containing caffeine, L-citrulline, beta-alanine, taurine, and L-carnitine, among other ingredients. With caffeine-containing products, always consider your total caffeine intake.
How do you support your recovery after cycling?
After a tough training session or race, carbohydrates and proteins are important for your recovery nutrition.
Recovery Shake combines both in one convenient shake. Carbohydrates help replenish your energy reserves, while proteins contribute to the growth and maintenance of muscle mass.
Casein Shake contains casein, a slow-digesting protein. This means it can be used, for example, in the evening to further supplement your daily protein intake.
Choose supplements according to your goal
Not every cyclist needs every supplement. First, look at your training load, diet, and goals. Then, specifically choose which sports supplements for cyclists can be a practical addition.
