Poliquin - Rise - Intra-Workout

Rise is the perfect workout supplement with muscle-building BCAAs and hydrating electrolytes. This combination of nutrients lets you push your limits in the gym and avoid the post-workout crash that leaves you feeling depleted for the rest of the day. The ingredients in Rise are highly beneficial to physical performance, supporting hydration, protein anabolism, pH balance, and muscle buffering.

To maximize your efforts in the gym, excellent nutrition makes all the difference. Whether you’re training to compete for a championship or you simply want to get the most out of your physical self, the nutrients in Rise will help you perform at your best:

Electrolytes
Electrolytes are at the core of peak athletic performance: They enable forceful muscle contractions, help the body handle the stress of training, and support recovery after muscle damaging workouts.*

You lose many of the body’s natural minerals throughout the day, so it’s important to replenish them through nutrition. Rise contains the key electrolytes potassium, magnesium, and sodium that amplify hydration and allow you to replenish water and energy stores so you can bounce back faster after intense workouts.

Beta Alanine
When it comes to pumping out every last rep, beta alanine can give you a lift. Beta alanine buffers lactate that is a byproduct of intense exercise. Lactate buildup coincides with increased muscle acidity, hindering function. When your muscles burn from running up the stairs, that’s due to lactate buildup. Great for improving high-intensity aerobic capacity, beta alanine also increases the anaerobic threshold, meaning you can train at your peak for longer.*

Branched Chain Amino Acids
If building muscle is a goal, the BCAAs are an imperative: These three amino acids have a unique chemical structure that allows them to skip the normal digestive process and become quickly available to repair muscle or be used as energy. Leucine is especially important, providing the signal to switch to an anabolic state – where the body stops breaking down muscle and starts to rebuild it.*

What Makes This Product Different?
Instead of needing to buy three different workout supplements, Rise combines the synergistic nutrients you need for peak performance in one. Adding electrolytes to your BCAAs helps keep you hydrated and topped up with important minerals and salts while allowing you to maximize muscle performance during exercise. Throwing beta alanine into the mix ensures your body has the nutrition to reach your genetic potential.

Rise is designed to keep you from feeling drained and achy in the post-workout recovery period.  BCAAs improve energy status in muscle while kickstarting muscle repair and limiting protein breakdown that leads to muscle loss and soreness. Hydration is key for helping your body cope with stress. The adrenal glands, which release the hormone cortisol are responsible for maintaining healthy electrolyte balance. Chronic stress can make the adrenal glands unable to keep up with these demands, resulting in mineral imbalances that comprise hydration and make you feel “blah.”

Another benefit: All the ingredients in Rise are natural and it doesn’t have any added sugar or artificial colours or favorings that can compromise your health.  

Who Can Benefit From Rise?
Anyone who wants to optimize their workouts during intense training can benefit from Rise. Supplementation is especially important for those who sweat intensely and can’t replenish electrolytes through diet alone. Rise is a game changer for individuals who have a low total protein intake or limit animal proteins, such as vegans.
 
Vegetarians are at risk of low BCAA and beta alanine levels. Beta alanine is completely absent from the vegetarian diet and studies show non-meat eaters have 26 percent lower muscle carnosine levels. Something similar occurs with BCAAs, since the primary dietary source is animal protein.

Rise can be used to offset muscle loss in long-duration endurance athletes or when dieting. Rise is also a great tool when training in a fasted state. It can also be helpful when recovering from an injury or in older adults who are at risk of muscle loss.
