Faster, more highly, further? The performance assistance from the chemistry laboratory

Baking powder:

(sodium hydraulictowards carbonate) is to help muscles to perseverance, whose acidity rises by the load strongly. The acid is actually neutralized in the blood by 3 to 4 teeloeffel baking powder, but only each second examined sportsman brought more performance. Baking powder for perseverance sport is unsuitable: " the low acidity of the blood obstructs the oxygen feed to the muscles ", says Alexandra gives, institute for nutrition sciences of the University of pouring.

Guarana:

is particularly well-known as aphrodisiac in South America. The fruits of the schlingpflanze contain high-dose koffein and strengthen the cycle. " sexual stimulating is to work Guarana in a dose of 50 milligramm ", so Guenter wagner of the institute for sport nutrition. The sporty performance can be increased only with many higher quantities - and those are considered as Dopingmittel. Hydroxymethyl butter acid: (HMB) applies at present with US-STRENGTH-PORT-LEARN as secret tip to the structure of muscle. HMB is a natural product of the fat metabolism. Active sportsmen, who took HMB, added body fat than a group of comparisons in four weeks doubly as much muscles and lost more as the three-way quantity, resulted in a study of the Iowa State University. Side effects were not observed, acknowledgement by subsequent studies are necessary.

Bloom bluetenpollen:

apply under runners as secret tip to faster recovery and higher efficiency. Reason: Bloom bluetenpollen contain 13 vitamine, 16 mineral materials and 107 enzymes or. Coenzyme. Despite one of " expert " recommended daily rations of eight gram positive effects are hardly provable. Koffein: increases the mental Fitness, by energizing the production of the hormone Noradrenalin. Also sportsmen koffein helps, by driving tiredness out, which fat metabolism activates and preserves so the energy stores in the muscles. But " already from four to five cups coffee dopingrelevante concentrationconcentration concentrations in the urine can be achieved ", say Dr. Kurt Kurt-Reiner Geiss of the institute for sport, medicine.

Kreatin:

The normal daily requirement is with two gram; half is the remainder in the food (particularly in meat and fish), produces the body into liver, Bauchspeichdruese and kidney. A study of the University of cathedral shows that kreatin improves the performance with short, intensive muscle loads. For perseverance sportsmen kreatin has to offer against it nothing. Of high doses (over 20 gram daily) or continuous income (longer than four to five days) sport physician warns Dr. Geiss: " the danger of injury would rise strongly! " Tablets from the pharmacy are in the case of doubt first selection.

L-Carnitin:

immune system is involved in the feed of fatty acids high-energy in the cell and stimulates. The body manufactures it sufficiently. Who supplies with the food more (particularly much stekct in lamb), can its physical performance hardly improve, so a new study of Dr. Lothar Rokitzki from Heppenheim. Exception: Perseverance sportsmen, who run more than sixty kilometers in the week.

Taurin:

is strongly disputed. While the institute for sport nutrition did not find effect, a study of the institute resulted in for sport, medicine and nutrition that Taurin lowers the concentration of the stress hormones adrenalin and Noradrenalin and the regeneration phase shortened. Sportsmen held out during maximum permissible load up to 25 per cent longer. Also these tests must be repeated and acknowledged.

Testosteron:

and other hormones are highly concerned on the black market: So-called anabole Sterioide imitates the effect of the male Sexualhormons Testosteron in the body. Consequence: muscles grow, one become more aggressive. Fatal side effect of the Dopings: Liver damage, acne, hair failure, increased Herzinfakt and impact accumulation risk.
