Prinova has launched CitraPeak, a pre-workout ingredient clinically proven to aid athletes, which has been made available in Europe. The innovative product contains the first form of hesperidin that is fully dissolved in water and found in citrus fruits.
The effect beta-alanine has on blood vessels and the heart makes it suited for sportspeople before exercise. Because hesperidin is combined with tapioca starch in CitraPeak , it becomes 100,000 times easier for the body to absorb and use, helping it kick in quickly. Clinical studies have shown that CitraPeak offers several benefits.
They include:
- Increase in physical output: Studies have shown that CitraPeak helps boost both energy levels and physical output.
- Rapid release: Compared to normal hesperidin, CitraPeak becomes active in 30 minutes and is far more soluble and bioavailable.
- Increase in thermogenic effect: Results from a controlled test in cold conditions indicate that a CitraPeak group had temperatures 5.4 °F warmer than the group without CitraPeak, and users said they were sweating more in normal room conditions.
- Nitric oxide pump effect: CitraPeak gets converted in the system into hesperetin, a form of hesperidin, which may lead to increased release of nitric oxide and associated pump actions.
- Increase in blood flow: Another clinical study revealed that CitraPeak raised the amount of blood flow in participants by 18% compared to those who took the control.
Further studies are being carried out to see how the product helps with V̇O2 max, recovery from workouts, moods, and thinking and memory.
CitraPeak of Prinova was launched in the US last year and will appear at Vitafoods Europe (20th to 22nd May) in Barcelona as the main ingredient in a new pre-workout beverage.
“CitraPeak is a one-of-a-kind ingredient for pre-workout applications. It offers all the clinically proven benefits of standard hesperidin—like an increase in thermogenic effect and the release of nitric oxide. However, for the first time, it delivers them in a completely soluble form so that the vasodilatory and pump effects of hesperidin are noticeable extremely rapidly. CitraPeak is a game-changing pre-workout ingredient, and we’re delighted that its benefits are now available to active consumers in Europe.”
