Ginger shot for athletes: improved performance and faster recovery

Waarom topsporters gember gebruiken voor herstel

Delayed Onset Muscle Soreness (DOMS) treft elke sporter na intense training. From day 24-72 you will be given training frequency at 30%. This may be due to the fact that the pharmaceutical industry does not have to worry about it.

De wetenschap achter gember en sportprestaties

A landmark study by Black et al. (Phytotherapy Research, 2010) toonde aan dat dat dat gemberconsumptie spierpijn na excentrische oefeningen met 25% vermindert. The mechanism: gingerol contains COX-2 (the enzyme that blocks ibuprofen), but it does not work.

Turmeric: from sporter's bondgenoot

Curcumin vermindert DOMS met 17-21% vergeleken met placebo (Nicol et al., European Journal of Applied Physiology, 2015). When combined with piperine and zwarte pepper (2000% absorption) with gingerol, there is a potent anti-inflammatory trio which is specifically designed for the NF-κB-pathway — the central mechanism of the trainings-induction mechanism.

Het suikerproblem for sportsmen

A "sport grade" contains 34g per 100ml of insulin that is administered by the vet brand and reacts with hypoglycemia triggers - it is recommended that it be used in sports. INTI contains 1.19g per 100ml: it has an anti-inflammatory effect and a metabolic control effect.

FAQs

Do you want to know if you don't have sports services?
Studies suggest dat dagelijkse inname (neither alleen op trainingsdagen) the best effective is. Neem it 30-60 minutes for direct training.

Is gember veilig in combinatie met sportvoeding?
Ja. It may also be possible to interact with creatine, protein, and other gangbare supplements.

Vervangt gember ibuprofen volledig?
For chronic reviews in the DOMS you will find the results of the NSAIDs are correct. Voor acute injuries moet je altijd een arts raadplegen.
