Do you usually go to the #gym? Do you train or practice any #sport? If the answer is yes, do you take pre-workouts before training to improve your #performance? . . Are you familiar with the words #creatine, #betaine, #caffeine, etc.? . Which supplements can you use without having negative side effects? . I personally try to limit the intake, but if #chronic #fatigue (CFS) afflicts me I must admit that I use supplements of all kinds... to train every day and to oxygenate my #body. A great help to improve #digestion and #training comes from betaine. Do you use it as a #supplement? Betaine HCl is used to make the #stomach acidic and to #help digestion, especially #protein, and I must say that in moments of stress it has been useful a lot in digestion, if taken before meals. As for sports, it seems that (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3844502/) "6 weeks of betaine supplementation improved body composition, #muscle size, work capacity, attenuated a rise in HCTL, tended to improve power, but not strength in resistance trained men ". . . What is betaine? . "Betaine anhydrous is a chemical that occurs naturally in the body." It can also be found in foods such as #beets, spinach, cereals, seafood, and wine ". (Https://www.webmd.com/vitamins/ai/ingredientmono-1008/betaine-anhydrous) Quinoa had the highest amount of betaine measured (3900 μg/g) according to https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24128557. More in-depth research is necessary but from my personal experience I can say that betaine helps very much in the digestion of proteins and creatine, betaine and caffeine are a great help in the days when the #energies are at the lowest levels. #Healthy #lowfodmap #dessert #recipe ---------------------------------------- 233 Kcal (12 F, 15 P, 15 Carbs, 2 g of dietary fibers) Ingredients are: 10 grams of beetroot powder, 200 grams of almond unsweetened milk, 10 grams of #gelatin, 10 grams of #quinoa flour . . #fodmap #fodmapdiet #foodie #foodporn
