WHY SUPPLEMENTS?USE
When compe�ng in endurance events, you can burn around 4 000 kcal (16 700 kJ) over a period of four hours. Endurance athletes need top-quality nutritional support for peak performance.
To put that into perspec�ve, that’s the equivalent of one 1 kg tub of USN Pro Recover. It is therefore crucial to consume enough easily diges�ble nutrients during and a�er your rides. Protein, as found in Pro Recover, is vital for muscle recovery as it’s broken down into amino acids to feed your working muscles. The following pages will discuss the usage and benefits of each product.

The harder your body works, the higher your demands for phosphates and electrolytes (your body’s ‘salts’) are. When you’re depleted, you compromise strength, endurance and physical and mental energy. Cramp Block should therefore be used daily. Maintain your phosphate satura�on with 2-4 tablets daily. For phosphate loading leading up to a race: Start 4-5 days prior by taking 6-8 tablets daily and then 2-4 tablets the morning before your race. In the case of stage races, take another four tablets a�er each stage. Phosphate loading for strength, endurance, recovery and fatigue reduction.
