The Antidote To Conventional Nutrition Theory.

Forget the fads, the hype, the latest too-good-to-be true claims for polymerized bee pollen, blood boosters, and exotic supplements. And consider three very simple, very basic facts about sports nutrition, transcribed from notes and conversations with Enervit founder Dr. Paolo Sorbini.

Fact 1
Your body needs to be continuously supplied with energy during physical activity to extend perform-ance and minimize fatigue. The more effectively you supply nutrients, the more effectively your body performs. This is particularly critical for cycling, where athletes put out more watts of power over a longer period of time than virtually any other sport. Which brings us to Fact Two.

Fact 2
The longer the activity, the more nutrition your body needs to take on. And conversely, the more difficult it becomes to take on nutrients without overloading your ability to digest the food you’re taking in.

Fact 3
Whether you’re racing or training, your digestive tract fatigues the same as rest of the body’s muscles. So as a cyclist, you need to continuously supply nutrition in a format your digestive tract can turn into energy to achieve optimal cycling performance.

Enervit makes a unique integrated nutrition system that addresses all three categories of athletic nutrition— energy, hydration and recovery—with products optimized for your body’s specific energy requirements in a variety of training and competitive situations. Sure, it’s a more complex, more sophisticated energy strategy than the usual hodgepodge mix of bars, gels and liquids. But you only need to try it once. And let the results speak for themselves.

THE ENERVIT SYSTEM AND HOW TO USE IT.

Sustained Energy for endurance and long term activity. These products contain a mix of maltodextrins and fructose in a mix of different length carbohydrate chains designed to deliver quick energy while sustaining longer-term energy levels. Available in solid, gel, or liquid form to match your body’s digestibility needs during workouts and in competition.

Quick Energy Burst for a short-term, high-intensity power and mental clarity boost during or near the end of the event. No caffeine, no stimulants, just instantly convertible Maltodextrin and B vitamins to dramatically increase energy output for the last 45 minutes of—or intense intervals within—a workout or race.

Hydration liquids and tablets (!) to keep your body cool and working efficiently. Hydration products are among the most effective ways to replace minerals and salts during activity to prevent onset of cramping. Drinks should be isotonic (less concentrated than blood plasma) for fastest-possible absorption, and relatively low in sugars. For cyclists who prefer to drink water, tablets can contain concentrated doses of electrolytes and are easily handled and consumed, even during competition.  

Recovery is the other half of exercise. It’s as important as the workout or competition itself, and proper recovery starts as soon as your heart rate begins to drop. Properly formulated recovery products contain rapid-absorbing carbohydrates to recharge glycogen levels, branch chain amino acids to restore muscle tone and mass, and glutamine to counteract fatigue and increase the immune system’s defense mechanisms.
