Natural supplements for sport
Reaching the top will no longer be a problem for you: set your goal, and Sport 1 Endurance will take care of the rest!
Sport 1 Endurance is the 100% natural supplement made with specific active ingredients to support the body during physical activity.
Sport 1 Endurance is made with Damiana[1], Suma[2], Cordyceps[3] and Eleutherococcus[4], all as standardised dry extracts.
These are plants with adaptogenic properties, meaning they can promote endurance during physical exertion and allow you to counteract fatigue. What’s more, Sport 1 Endurance contains no caffeine or other stimulant substances.
This way, your muscles benefit, you reduce the likelihood of fatigue-related cramps and you keep your concentration high during training. All in a 100% natural way, without putting strain on your nervous system or your body in general.
Like strawberries and cream, Sport 1 Endurance and Sport 2 Recupero simply belong together.
With its natural active ingredients, such as Spirulina[5], Maqui[6], Pomegranate[7], Elderberry[8] and Grape Seed[9],
Sport 2 Recupero lets you support your body during the post-workout recovery phase.
Spirulina, a freshwater alga, is made up of 60% protein, which tired muscles need as nourishment and support for recovery. You’ll be back in action more quickly.
And all without interfering with the normal physiological function of the thyroid. In fact, Spirulina contains no iodine.
Thanks also to Pomegranate[10] and Elderberry[11]:
- you provide your body with antioxidants to counteract muscle tiredness,
- you neutralise the action of free radicals, which normally build up during physical activity,
- you promote normal sweating and the elimination of toxins.
Grape Seed supports microcirculation and promotes cardiovascular function, both of which are necessary to bring tired muscles the nourishment they need to recover.
The main allies for winning on the field are antioxidants, and the Glutatione Forte formulation is rich in them.
Specifically, reduced Glutathione and Quercetin are highly active antioxidants, as highlighted in particular by two scientific studies[12]-[13]. With the Glutatione Forte formulation, you get the maximum permitted amount of both.
On top of that, the Glutatione Forte formulation also contains Selenium[14], Fallopia[15] and Bilberry[16], which, thanks to their antioxidant properties, complete the work of supporting the body and promoting all-round wellbeing.
With the right intake of antioxidants, you counteract fatigue, support the elimination of toxins, have just the right amount of energy to burn and recover quickly from tiredness.
As the saying goes, “the more, the better”: Organic Maqui Juice[17], obtained by pressing the remarkable Maqui fruit, is also rich in antioxidants.
Of all the fruits found in nature, Maqui is the one with the highest antioxidant content.
In this way, your muscles are nourished, supported during exertion and protected from the action of free radicals – a very important factor for anyone who trains and puts their body through physical exertion every day.
Supplements for sport and energy
During training sessions, competitions and the most important matches of your sporting life, it’s important that your energy never runs out. Here to help you are:
Energea+ New Formula is the supplement with a specific formulation to promote the production of new energy by the body, completely naturally and in harmony with your wellbeing.
Inside you’ll find Spirulina[18], Ashwagandha[19], Royal Jelly[20], Ginseng[21], Grape Seed[22] and Manganese[23], which are useful for counteracting tiredness and regaining vitality.
All without resorting to caffeine, thus preserving the wellbeing of your nervous system and heart.
Thanks to the unique combination of active ingredients in Energea+ New Formula, you keep up your motivation during training and counteract the energy dips that can occur during physical exertion. By naturally supporting your body, you can get through even the most demanding moments, when you need to show constant commitment and achieve a specific goal.
To pair with Energea+ New Formula, we have Goji Juice, obtained by pressing Goji berries, which have long been known for their invigorating and adaptogenic properties.
Thanks to the antioxidants contained in Goji berries[24], you counteract the feeling of tiredness and are better able to withstand the fatigue of your most intense days.
Supplements for sport and endurance
If you’re a sporty type, the word quit is definitely not in your vocabulary.
Determination and consistency are your bread and butter, and you’re certainly not one to stop at the first stumble.
Sport 1 Endurance is the supplement for you.
Its formula is based on Damiana[25], Suma[26], Cordyceps[27] and Eleutherococcus[28]: thanks to the specific properties of each ingredient, you feel stronger and can take on challenges to the very best of your abilities.
Whether you play sport at amateur or competitive level (football, tennis, swimming, cycling, running, gymnastics, etc.), thanks to the unique combination of plant compounds in Sport 1 Endurance:
- you feel less tired and counteract energy dips,
- you have greater endurance during physical exertion,
- you reduce the onset of muscle cramps caused by fatigue,
- you concentrate better and keep your eye on the goal you’ve set yourself.
In this way, you take a completely natural approach and your body works in optimal conditions.
Salugea has also formulated a dedicated Programme for those who, perhaps like you, have made sport their life.
We’re talking about the Intensive Ironman – Ironwoman Programme, already tested first-hand by professional athletes.
It’s a 100% natural supplementation plan covering 3 whole months which, by combining the different formulations of the various products, looks after the body’s overall wellbeing to counteract muscle tiredness and fatigue.
