The normal functioning of the human body relies on the support of various essential nutrients, especially for individuals in a state of exercise. Supplementing sufficient protein and amino acids can achieve the goals of increasing muscle mass and reducing fat. However, considering people's current dietary habits, although the nutrients provided by daily food intake can meet the basic needs of the body to some extent, they are limited in supplying the above-mentioned nutritional elements for individuals in a state of exercise. Therefore, sports nutrition food has emerged to meet this demand, providing different nutritional supplements through various food ingredients, thereby achieving the goals of protecting the body's functions and enhancing exercise effects. Based on previous studies on sports nutrition food ingredient lists in China, the author found that commonly used ingredients in sports nutrition food in China are mainly concentrated in the following aspects.
Soybean Peptides
Soybean peptides are one of the most common ingredients in sports nutrition food and an essential component of the human body during exercise. Taking the human body in a normal state as an example, the absorption of external proteins generally takes 2 to 4 hours. However, when proteins are hydrolyzed into low molecular weight polymer peptides, their absorption by the human body is significantly accelerated. Based on this, soybean peptides, as easily digestible and absorbable low molecular weight single proteins, can rapidly replenish the energy consumed during exercise, alleviate muscle fatigue caused by intense exercise, and interact with substances in the human serum to enhance the reserve of testosterone in the body. This helps combat the formation of free radicals in the body and protect muscles, among other purposes.
For instance, after intense exercise, athletes should timely supplement a large amount of low molecular weight proteins represented by soybean peptides within 1 to 2 hours after exercise. They should also drink at least around 500 mL of plain water to ensure the functioning of the body and achieve better exercise effects while enhancing overall health.
Branched-Chain Amino Acids (BCAAs)
Various activities of the human body rely on the actions of different amino acids, with branched-chain amino acids being an essential component. In the context of sports nutrition food in China, branched-chain amino acids typically refer to leucine, isoleucine, and other similar amino acids. They are nutrients that can enhance the metabolic efficiency of the human body and provide energy to skeletal muscle groups. It is worth noting that compared to other types of amino acids, branched-chain amino acids are more easily metabolized and absorbed by the body without causing a burden. Therefore, they are commonly found in sports nutrition food.
Creatine
Creatine is a highly common substance in the human body, typically composed of amino acids such as arginine and glycine. Under the action of creatine, the explosive power of the muscles in the human body can significantly increase, thereby helping athletes achieve better sports performance. In nature, creatine is widely found in animal meat, organs, and other areas. Regular exercisers can supplement creatine by moderately consuming meat or organs. In the human body, creatine is generally present in skeletal muscle groups, and varying amounts of creatine can also be found in the heart, brain, and male testes. A relatively higher level of creatine can effectively enhance muscle tension during exertion, thereby improving the strength of skeletal muscles, the heart, and other areas. Therefore, creatine is a commonly used ingredient in sports nutrition food.
Glutamine
Proper supplementation of glutamine can partially meet the body's needs during exercise and effectively alleviate the negative effects caused by substances such as lactic acid on the body during exercise. The remaining glutamine can also be transported to other parts of the body through metabolic activity, achieving the goal of protecting the body. For the human body in a non-exercising state, glutamine can be obtained through daily food intake and can also be synthesized by the body itself. However, for the human body in an exercising state, the glutamine produced through these two channels is insufficient to meet the demand. Therefore, glutamine is also commonly found as an ingredient in sports nutrition food.
Maltodextrin
Carbohydrates are often considered a "bomb" to be avoided by many fitness enthusiasts, but little do they know that carbohydrates are an important nutrient that cannot be ignored during exercise. Moderate intake of carbohydrates can help restore liver glycogen and muscle glycogen to their original state, ensuring the body's optimal condition and enabling further, more intense physical training. Maltodextrin is a low-energy, high-efficiency carbohydrate category. Adding this substance in appropriate amounts not only aids in the rapid recovery of liver and muscle glycogen but also prevents excessive energy intake when supplementing with sports nutrition products. Therefore, maltodextrin is one of the commonly used ingredients in sports nutrition products. For example, during long-distance running, athletes can consume maltodextrin, soy peptides, and fats in a ratio of 6:2:2 according to their individual needs. This ensures that the athlete's body remains in optimal condition and enhances the effectiveness of the exercise.
