Intra Workout

Types of intra-workout supplements

Intra-workout products are designed to be sipped or taken during a session. The range falls into a few groups: carbohydrate drinks such as SAN Intra Fuel and Trained by JP Performance Fuel; amino acid blends such as Scivation Xtend and Kaged Muscle Intra-Workout; electrolyte products including BioTechUSA MultiSalt and Applied Nutrition hydration tablets and cans; and energy gels from Applied Nutrition, BioTechUSA and XO Fitness. Nutrend also offers IsoDrinx and Carbodrinx powders.

Which type suits me?

Longer sessions often call for carbohydrate and electrolytes, while shorter gym sessions are where amino blends tend to be used.
