[Manga version] The relationship between performance and energy utilization! "Cystine" utilizes lipids as an energy source and relieves fatigue

We get a lot of nutrients from our daily meals, but how do we make energy from them?

Energy is essential for performance, so it’s bad if you don’t know about it. That’s right…

coach!

When you exercise, your energy comes mainly from carbohydrates and fats.

But nutrients cannot be used as energy as they are, they need to be converted into a substance called ATP. How is ATP made?

Inside the cells are organelles called mitochondria, which act as factories that make ATP.

The amount of ATP produced by mitochondria changes, and the amount of ATP you can produce affects how tired you feel during exercise. In other words, there is a possibility that endurance can be improved by efficiently producing ATP from carbohydrates and lipids.

But... mitochondria are vulnerable to oxidative stress caused by exercise, so if that happens, the amount of ATP produced by mitochondria will decrease, so what should we do?

In such cases, it is time for the amino acid "cystine" to come in handy.

There is data that shows that cystine protects against oxidative stress caused by exercise and relieves fatigue during exercise.

What's more, it enhances the utilization of fatty acids during exercise, potentially allowing you to use more lipids as an energy source. Isn't that amazing?

"Cystine" has the potential to reduce fatigue and maintain performance.

By increasing the available energy sources, fatigue during exercise is reduced! Increasing endurance has been one of my challenges, and "Cystine" looks like it will help!

"Cystine" helps increase the energy sources available in the body!
