Ever wondered why you consistently cramp after a fight or a training session? Maybe your muscles feel more battered and bruised for lengthier periods of time than you would like after intense exercise.

Musashi Electrolyte formula is designed to combat these common problems – and they can become problems if you do not pay attention to detail. Recovery equals improvement and if you wish to advance your progress you must pay attention. Electrolytes are important for maintaining fluid levels in the body, muscle contractions and nerve impulse transmission.

During strenuous bouts of training you sweat losing precious water, which contains sodium and potassium. Water losses are greater than electrolyte loss, which leads to an imbalance resulting in extreme fatigue, dehydration and muscle cramps. Not what is needed for maintaining optimum performance levels.

It is important to keep replenishing and hydrating your body just for the normal every day functions that your organs perform such as the kidneys, heart and liver. Our bodies are made mostly of water so it is obvious why we should keep hydration at its optimum to ensure the heart functions at its supreme level and your kidneys are able to process waste from the body. With Hydration from Musashi Electrolyte formula comes the essential minerals sodium and potassium, extremely important to maintain the required balance. On top of these must have minerals are the inclusion of BCAA's in to the Musashi Electrolyte Formula. Have you ever noticed the next day after a fight or intense training session that your muscles are particularly sore? BCAA's are well known for reducing muscle tissue soreness. The branch chain amino acids, Leucine, Valine and Isoleucine are three out of the eight essential amino acids required, as they cannot be synthesised by the body. Because of this we must ensure we get these amino acids from either food or supplementation. Supplementation takes away the guesswork of working out which food is most abundant in these aminos and is absorbed faster and easier by the body. BCAA's prevent the breakdown of muscle tissue by the body during exercise making them anti-catabolic. They are also anabolic because they help build muscle. They are fantastic for fat loss as they ensure that you don't enter a catabolic state where your body breaks down its own muscle tissue. Consistent amounts of muscle tissue equal consistent fat loss.

Also present in the Musashi Electrolyte formula is the amazing amino acid Glutamine. L-Glutamine is the most abundant amino acid in the body but in times of stress, whether it is exercise or illness, the bodies' needs outstrip its supply. Glutamine prevents muscle breakdown while ensuring protein synthesis and optimum glycogen uptake.

Last but not least the inclusion of antioxidants into this fantastic formula obliterates the free radicals that unfortunately tend to be present when you are training. Free radicals are an absolute no go as far as ensuring good health and consistent progress in your chosen sport. The Vitamins C & E are an essential part of this formula and not only help destroy the free radicals but play a major role in a healthy immune system keeping cold and flu's at bay.

So the next time you are looking for a good all round formula to improve your performance and help you recover in record time- think: Musashi Electrolyte formula.
