Box of 10 vegan and organic energy compotes 65g / Apricot

The benefits of apricot for athletes:

For athletes, apricot can be integrated into the diet in several ways:

Pre-workout snack: Eaten fresh for a supplement fast in energy.

In recovery: Natural sugars and nutrients help replenish energy stores and support muscle recovery.

In summary, apricot is an excellent fruit for athletes, offering benefits ranging from improved digestion and antioxidant protection to providing rapid energy and general health support.

This energy puree with apricot should be consumed when you want a quick boost of energy before a difficult course. As it is very liquid, it is digested very quickly and passes quickly into the blood to "feed" the muscle cells.

We advise you to take a bottle every hour during exercise (in order to bring 30g of carbohydrates per hour for efforts of less than 3 hours) at the rate of a third of a gourd every 20 minutes. It is resealable, so you don't need to consume everything in one go like with a classic gel. This results in too much sugar intake which can have a counterproductive effect during exercise (Hypo reaction, cotton legs...). A regular supply to your body is better than the "yo-yo effect".

Remember to hydrate regularly after each dose to remove sugar from your mouth. Allow approximately 500ml of water per hour. If you wait until you are thirsty to drink it will be too late.

In addition to regular physical activity, it is recommended to maintain a varied and balanced diet and a healthy lifestyle.
