Probiotics for Sports Nutrition

Exercise burns up to 15% of the total amount of calories from protein by extracting particular amino acids from muscle tissues. It causes microscopic damage to the muscle fibers, resulting in muscle soreness or stiffness. Consuming an adequate amount of protein after a workout repairs and builds new muscle tissue.

Exercise comprises the production of quick energy which can cause the Gastrointestinal (GI)  disturbance by inducing the blood flow and heat generation. GI complaints, such as cramps, nausea, vomiting and diarrhea are the associated causes of sport induced gut dysfunction.

A healthy gut can improve digestion by increasing the bioavailability and absorption of nutrients that are vital to muscle repair and keeping inflammatory responses in check. Probiotics influence digestion by lowering the incidence of GI symptoms, reducing inflammation associated with gut dysbiosis and improves athletic performance by protein utilization.
