Nutrient Breakdown:
Sodium: Maintains Fluid Balance
Sodium is needed in the body for a number of reasons, the most important for endurance athletes is its role in the maintenance of extracellular fluid volume which influences the hydration of an athlete.
It is also important for the uptake of nutrients such as hexose (carbohydrate) and amino acids (protein).
During extended periods of exercise it is important that sodium levels are replenished. As the body's Sodium concentration falls ECF (extracellular fluid) falls which can have detrimental effects to the body's cells. Physiologically this will present as dizziness and faintness.
Sodium Citrate: Stops Cramps
Sodium citrate is added to the Tailwind Nutrition products to act as a pH regulator. When the muscles are working for extended periods of time, muscle pH will decrease and cramps take effect. The role of sodium citrate is to delay the effects of this lowering pH and prevent the build up of lactic acid in the athlete's muscles to help reduce cramps and allow them to run, cycle or row for longer.
Potassium: Stops Muscle Weakness
Potassium is essential for the acid-base regulation and to maintain the electrophysiology of nerves and muscles. A deficiency in Potassium (caused by prolonged sweating during physical activity) can alter the electrophysiological characteristics of cell membranes causing weakness of the skeletal muscles.
Carbohydrates and sugar (present as glucose and sucrose): Energy Provider
Sugars and soluble carbohydrates are fundamental for providing energy for the maintenance of life. During exercise sugar in its simplest form of glucose is fundamental for the ease of metabolism into expendable energy.
Calcium: Strong bones and Muscle contraction
Calcium's primary role is structural, around 99% of calcium is found in bones and teeth. A prolonged calcium deficiency will increase the risk of low bone mineral density and stress fractures in athletes. It is also an essential mineral for muscle function and contraction as well as being essential for synthesis and breakdown of glycogen fuel stores in your muscles.
Magnesium: Relaxes Muscles
Magnesium works closely with Calcium: while Calcium is important for the contraction of your muscles, Magnesium helps them relax. Therefore, it is clear how important the combination of both Calcium and Magnesium is for healthy muscle function.
