      What Are the Ingredients in an Intra-workout Product?

      Intra-workouts contain a wide variety of ingredients. While ingredient profiles vary, most products contain a blend of the following types of ingredients:

      • Amino acids (especially BCAAs) – Amino acids are often added, either in protein powders or as isolated amino acid supplements. Amino acids play many roles in the body, but are particularly important for building muscle. Branched chain amino acids, or BCAAs, play a vital role in protein synthesis and the building of muscle tissue. Supplements containing amino acids can help you extend your workouts, and get a jump-start on recovery.
      • Creatine – Creatine is one of the most commonly used performance enhancers. Known for its ability to improve athletic performance and help you lift more weight, creatine is a common ingredient found in intra-workouts. Beta-alanine, best known for its ability to improve short-term muscle performance is also commonly added.
      • Carbohydrates – Carbohydrates, or carbs, are an essential part of these supplements. Carbs are a great source of natural energy. They are digested quickly and converted into glucose, one of the body’s prefered sources of energy. Intra-workouts use fast-digesting carbs, such as maltodextrin, that are digested rapidly, providing immediate energy for your workout.
      • Electrolytes – Often, electrolytes such as magnesium, potassium, etc. are added to these supplements to improve hydration. Electrolytes help you stay hydrated, which can help increase the length of your workouts while protecting your body from dehydration and over-exhaustion.
