Power boost

For athletes, runners, or anybody dedicated to consistent exercise, power boost is the preferred beverage. The cocoa bean is the first ingredient, prized for its delicious flavour, high antioxidant content, and cardiovascular health benefits. 1 coconut oil is added to provide a rich source of medium-chain triglycerides (mcts), a type of energy that the body prefers to burn rather than store as fat. Numerous studies indicate that MCT energy may improve endurance during extended exercise sessions.

Amino acids are another ingredient in the power boost mix that supports optimum athletic performance and recovery. The amino acid glutamine, which the muscles naturally manufacture, helps the body recover from strenuous or extended exercise or stress. Research indicates that augmenting the body’s availability of l-glutamine can improve sports performance.

We also include the three branched-chain amino acids (bcaas): valine, leucine, and isoleucine. These amino acids support the synthesis of energy in every cell and are thought to be necessary for human nutrition. Our bodies break down existing muscle tissue to produce extra bcaas if they are not sufficiently present in the meals we eat, especially after prolonged effort. Research indicates that taking BCAA supplements may assist in reducing mental exhaustion during strenuous exercises like long-distance running in addition to preventing muscle loss. An essential source of bcaas, power boost supports lean muscle mass and sharper attention during exercise.

Naturally free of allergens

Equally significant to what we include in purenourish is what we leave out. Purenourish is free of trans fats, artificial flavors, and artificial colors. It is also free of dairy, soy, and gluten. Purenourish is sweetened with xylitol and luo han guo extract, two natural sweeteners that have fewer calories than sucrose, which is why it’s a good option for low-glycemic diets.

Purenourish’s mild and sweet flavor works well both on its own and when combined with other flavours. For a tasty variation, try it with fruit, in a smoothie, or combined with our beauty or power boosts.
