FitGen Compete R155.00 (30 g) FitGen Compete is the young athlete’s best friend on the ‘big day’. This product is an advanced formulation specially created with young sportspeople in mind. It contains a host of vitamins, minerals and amino acids in the correct proportions, as well as glycaemic carbohydrates. As the body’s energy provider, carbohydrates fuel immediate energy requirements during competitions. They also get stored for future use (in the form of glycogen, in the muscle). If carbs aren’t supplied steadily during exercise, stores become depleted rapidly. The hormone, insulin, drives glucose into the muscle cells. Sometimes, too much insulin is released, resulting in too much glycogen, and the dreaded ‘sugar crash’. FitGen Compete is designed in such a way as to avoid this situation, and promote optimal carb release during competing. Available in various flavours. FitGen ProFit HP Shake R650.00 (1040 g) Protein powders are a great way to repair and strengthen muscles from any type of workout. FitGen ProFit HP Shake is a whey-based protein supplement packed with all the nutrition a young athlete needs, to perform optimally. Whey can be absorbed quickly in the body. This makes it beneficial for stimulating muscle growth and development, in conjunction with regular strength training. Whey has also been known to improve body composition. FitGen ProFit HP Shake comes in various delicious flavours, and contains Potassium, Magnesium and Phosphorus, the essential micro-minerals your body can’t manufacture. This is the ideal supplement with added BCAA for young athletes who need more protein in their diets. FitGen Product Guide 9
