SFuels ZONE 2 is specifically designed to optimize the benefits of aerobic training by focusing on efficient breakdown and oxidation of fat, while also promoting aerobic adaptations. Unlike traditional carbohydrate-based sports nutrition, SFuels ZONE 2 utilizes fuel-nutrients to support enhanced aerobic adaptations like mitochondrial biogenesis, and elevated lipolysis and fat oxidation. By design, SFuels ZONE 2 includes no sugar or carbohydrates to support the avoidance of blood-sugar/insulin spikes which blunt lipolysis, fat-oxidation efficiency and aerobic adaptions.
Using SFuels Extended Substrate and with no added carbohydrates, SFuels Zone 2 gives athletes the confidence of maximizing Zone 2 aerobic training development.
SFuels Zone 2 takes a 3 pronged approach to support Gut Resilience during Aerobic training.
This includes -
1. A reduced carbohydrate dependency and intake, will lower the known risks of high-carbohydrate consumption during endurance training/racing,
2. The gluten-free, sugar-alcohol-free formulation of SFuels Zone 2 minimizes the triggers known to add further risk of gut distress to training and racing. SFuels also excludes Fructose from its training products in avoiding Gut-membrane and aerobic adaption de-training risks from day-to-day over-consumption of Fructose.
3. SFuels Extended substrates uses select MCT fatty acids and Glutamine to both fuel and provide nutrition to support Gut membrane integrity. This supports building Gut resilience during training.
Maintaining proper electrolyte balance is crucial for athletes, especially during extended periods of training and in hot or humid conditions. To offset the electrolyte loss that occurs through sweat, higher doses of sodium and potassium supplementation are often warranted. Athletes who follow a lower carbohydrate protocol should supplement with electrolytes. It's important to consult with a healthcare provider or sports nutritionist to determine the appropriate electrolyte supplementation based on individual needs and training conditions.
SFuels ZONE 2 delivers 12X Glutamine per serve, compared to 1st generation SFuels TRAIN, thanks to the dosage efficiency of SFuels Extended Substrate.
