December 14th, 2009Sportlegs: Common Side-Effects Include Winning…
Sportlegs is an all-natural lactic acid buffer. Most athletes out there know that this is a ‘good thing,’ but not many people know how/why this product actually works. How does Sportlegs allow you to workout longer and harder than the competition??
Lactate, or lactic acid, has long been regarded as a ‘waste product’ produced by muscles during intensive training. However, new research from the past 20 years or so has proved that this substance is not merely a byproduct of anaerobic exercise, but a key fuel source for your muscles.
Muscles pass lactic acid between themselves to power ‘short-burst’ or ‘sprint’ activities. Most competitive sports or training routines are nothing more than a series of these short-term sprint style motions.
When your body is at rest or experiencing low levels of activity, your muscles are able to produce and consume equal levels of lactic acid. In this balanced state, you experience no muscle pain or soreness. When you increase your level of activity by training or competing, your muscles produce too much lactic acid too fast. Your body cannot deal with this rapid influx of lactate, and lactic acid begins to accumulate in your muscles.
The harder you exercise, the more lactate is produced and consequently accumulated. Your muscles absorb this excess and feel heavier. The stored lactate quickly becomes acidic and even harder for your body to process, leading to worse accumulation and serious performance deterioration.
Unlike other calcium and magnesium supplements which contain citrates, phosphates, and carbonates, Sportlegs is made (almost exclusively) of lactates. Taking Sportlegs before exercise, therefore, mimics the start of sports or exercise and allows your muscles to begin adapting before you even begin to train or compete! The lactate hoodwinks your body into producing less lactic acid and prepares it to begin consuming lactate at a faster pace.
Less lactate accumulation means less waste retention in your muscles, which helps you recover faster and helps relieve post-workout soreness.
Unlike ordinary vitamins, there is no loading phase for Sportlegs. You get the same results regardless if you have been taking them for one day or ten years. There are no side effects of Sportlegs and it is completely legal. Athletes can rest assured that no cross-contamination occurs during production, and they are getting exactly what they think they are getting.
Pain doesn’t discriminate. Whether you are a cyclist, a runner, or a mountain biker, the “burn” will eventually catch up to you. Luckily for us, Sportlegs is here to push us through the every day limits and achieve the ultimate.
