Description

The invention relates to specialized products that can be used as additional nutrition for people who are actively involved in sports.

The well-known BCAA product - PLUS for nutrition of athletes, produced in the form of capsules containing (per 10 capsules): L-leucine - 1500 mg, L-valine - 1320 mg, L-isoleucine - 960 mg, vitamin C - 90 mg, vitamin B6 - 9 mg (TU 9223-005-18934223-00).

This product is intended for additional nutrition of athletes during intensive training and provides muscle growth, increased energy production and a decrease in catabolic effect on muscle tissue.

However, the proposed complex is not balanced in composition. BCAA PLUS does not affect the detoxification of ammonia, an increased amount of which is released during intense exercise, which in turn has a detrimental effect on the intestinal microflora and toxic effects on brain cells.

In addition, a strong tension of the abdominal muscles often leads to a violation of the motor-evacuation function of the intestine, which is also not regulated by the product used.

The above processes have a stressful effect on the entire body of the athlete, causing a significant violation of his immunity.

The objective of the invention is to create a product that is balanced in composition, which comprehensively compensates for the catabolic processes that occur in athletes under intense stress, and can be effectively used in the nutrition of athletes to normalize metabolism, gastrointestinal tract functions, increase immunity, and reduce the toxic effects of protein waste. fatigue.

The problem is solved due to the fact that the product for the nutrition of athletes "Sportamin" contains a complex of amino acids, a complex of vegetable dietary fiber, as well as stevioside with their weight ratio, respectively (65-75) :( 20-26) :( 0,1- 0.5), and the complex of amino acids consists of L-arginine, L-valine, L-leucine and L-isoleucine, and the complex of vegetable dietary fiber is made from gum arabic and fructooligosaccharides, taken in the ratio by weight (40-60) :( 60 -40). In a preferred embodiment, the amino acids are used in the following ratio, parts by weight: L-arginine 18.0-24.0; L-valine 12.0-16.0; L-leucine 25.0-28.0; L-isoleucine 10.0-14.0. The protein product may be granulate with a moisture content of 3.0-5.0 wt.% Or tablets with a moisture content of 3.0-5.0 wt.%.

The technical result achieved by the invention lies in the fact that the ratio of branched chain amino acids (ARC) experimentally worked out for the product “Sportamine”, namely L-valine, L-leucine, L-isoleucine, provides the body with easily and quickly utilizing substrates that contribute to increase muscle performance, reduce the catabolic effects of increased loads and accelerate the restoration of the energy potential of protein cells after increased physical exertion.

This is due to the fact that ARCs are used as effective energy donors - with increased physical activity, ARCs in the proposed ratios can provide up to 40% of the body's energy needs, thereby exerting an anti-catabolic effect. The uniqueness of the ARC lies in the fact that they are fast-absorbing amino acids and the reaction of energy release from them goes directly to the muscle tissue, while other amino acids are metabolized in the liver. Protein molecules are almost 35% composed of ARC and failure of any of them will result in loss of muscle mass.

With increased physical exertion, muscle fatigue increases due to depletion of muscle glycogen reserves. As glycogen (muscle fuel) reserves begin to decline, ARCs are sent to the exercised muscles to support their energy needs. The more intense the body works, the faster the depletion of glycogen stores occurs, the more significant the role that ARCs play as an alternative source of muscle fuel.

In addition, the increased introduction of ARC into the body reduces the ratio of tryptophan: ARC, as a result of which the level of serotonin in the brain decreases and mental fatigue is inhibited.

At the same time, the combined use of ARC with complex sources of carbohydrates (gum arabic and fructooligosaccharides) significantly increases the effect of muscle glycogen recovery and, accordingly, muscle energy.

In addition, the combined use of ARC with L-arginine significantly increases their absorption, because arginine stimulates the production of insulin, without which the absorption of amino acids noticeably worsens.

It is known that increased loads and consequent protein breakdown lead to an increase in the concentration of ammonia and, accordingly, intoxication of the body. The introduction of arginine into the Sportamin composition enhances the detoxifying effect of the product by activating the urea formation cycle and removing ammonia from the body. In addition, arginine stimulates the synthesis of immunoglobulins and enhances the phagocytic activity of neutrophils, thereby increasing the body's immunity. Arginine also contributes to the relaxation of blood vessels, improves blood circulation in them, thereby, firstly, helps reduce fatigue, and secondly, provides the prevention and treatment of hypertension.

The introduction into the product of a complex of vegetable dietary fibers consisting of gum arabic and fructooligosaccharides in the proposed ratios has a number of positive effects:

- ensures the intensive growth of positive human autoflora of both bifidumbacteria and lactobacilli, which helps to increase immunity, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, improves liver function;

- the pH of the medium in the intestine decreases, thereby having a detoxifying effect on ammonia and other nitrogenous slags;

- provides a normalizing effect on blood sugar and cholesterol.

The stevioside used in "Sportamine" helps to normalize the immune system, blood circulation, and maintain blood pressure within normal values. This is ensured by flavonoids, vitamins (C, E, etc.) present in its composition, microelements (selenium, potassium, iron, calcium, magnesium, etc.).

The presence in the product of a complex of soluble dietary fiber, consisting of gum arabic and fructooligosaccharides in the proposed ratio, makes it possible to obtain granules of the required size and good tableting without the use of technical additives.

The protein product "Sportamine" is obtained by mixing the components, followed by granulation and encapsulation or tabletting, depending on the selected form of the product.

The mechanism of action of the Sportamin product on the body of people who are actively involved in sports is as follows.

The research involved two groups of volunteer athletes of 10 people each, who had no deviations in health status. The first group received “Sportamine” twice a day for 21 days. The second group “Sportamin” did not receive. All those participating in the experiment continued the usual mode of activity: a weekly training cycle with one day of rest, two workouts per day, the nutrition of the subjects did not change compared to the initial period. "Sportamine" was prescribed 2 times a day, 10 capsules 30 minutes before the start of the workout and 5 capsules immediately after the workout.

In the experiment, a study was conducted indicators of homeostasis, the dynamics of psycho-emotional condition, general and special performance, the recovery of athletes after a load of 14 ^th, 21 ^th day of admission "Sportamina" and after seven days of receiving the end.

Throughout the entire period of the examination, daily medical monitoring was carried out: both objective and subjective indicators were recorded.

The use of "Sportamin" showed an increase in such integral indicators as the total work done in the test (on average by 18% against the control) and work per kg of weight (by 22%).

In the blood plasma of athletes, the level of serum albumin increased from 36.2 ± 1.2 to 41.2 ± 2.1 g / l.

“Sportamine” had a pronounced prebiotic effect on the state of positive microflora: the number of bifidobacteria increased in the experimental group on average 70-100%, lactobacilli - by 40-70%.

The level of ammonia and urea in the blood of the athletes of the experimental group was normal and were at the level of 18.5 ± 3.8 (μM / dL) and 220 ± 22 (μM / dL), respectively, which is 16-22% lower than the group not using Sportamine.

Athletes of the experimental group noted the good tolerance of "Sportamin", the absence of elements of fatigue, vigorous, active state.

Thus, in the mechanism of influence of “Sportamin” the following elements of influence on the body of athletes are distinguished:

- a complex of vegetable dietary fiber (Flora) provides an intensive growth of positive microflora, improves the functioning of the gastrointestinal tract, helps to reduce the level of ammonia, improves tolerance of increased levels of protein sources;

- amino acids with a branched side chain increase the level of energy supply with increased physical exertion, reduce fatigue, and shorten the recovery period;

- arginine provides normalization of ammonia levels, an increase in the level of albumin in the blood, an improvement in the microcirculation of blood vessels, thereby providing an improvement in immunity and a decrease in fatigue.

The synergistic effect of the components of the Sportamin product on the most important metabolic elements, providing increased absorption of ARCs, significantly increases exercise tolerance, athletes' performance, reduce toxic effects, improve immunity, reduce fatigue accumulation and accelerate recovery during periods of intense physical exertion.
