Before Activity

U NITRATE is a concentrated beetroot shot containing 500mg of nitrate (8mmol). We have chosen to increase the amount of nitrate in U Nitrate from the 400mg that several others have, up to 500mg (+25%).- If you have a VO2max of 60ml/kg/min or lower, then 500mg (8mmol) seems to be sufficient. If you have a higher oxygen uptake, we recommend taking 2 shots (see instructions).Usage:Drink 1-2 U Nitrate shots 2.5 hours before activity.Avoid spitting during the period from intake to the start of the activity as this interrupts the vasodilating effect of nitrate. You can drink and eat other things during this time, but your saliva, where the conversion from nitrate to nitrite should occur, should not leave the oral cavity and should be swallowed again. It's nothing you need to worry about, just do as usual, but just remember not to spit frequently during these 2.5 hours.Developed by Biomedical Scientists in Sweden to ensure that you as a customer always have safe and high-quality products.All ingredients are approved by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). 100% vegan.Manufactured according to HACCP / GMP.Questions & Answers:How does U Nitrate work? The nitrate comes from beetroot concentrate and is converted through a series of steps into nitric oxide (NO), which is the active substance that dilates/relaxes our blood vessels. This reduces resistance in the blood vessels, increases blood circulation, and improves the efficiency of oxygen transport to the working muscles.Do I need to buffer U Nitrate? If you have an oxygen uptake above 60ml/kg/min, we recommend taking 2 shots 2.5 hours before activity. If you want to guarantee a maximized effect, you can also buffer the levels by taking 1 shot per day for 4-7 days before a competition. With buffering, it is sufficient to take 1 shot 2.5 hours before the start, regardless of oxygen uptake.

U LOADER contains Palatinose as the sole source of carbohydrates. Palatinose is the brand name for the sugar Isomaltulose. It is a sugar with a low glycemic index (GI32), which is not optimal for a sports drink when you want quick energy, but for a carb loader, it is perfect. It has a 100% uptake and provides 4kcal/g, which is equivalent to the carbohydrate sources we have in our sports drinks.The main reason we chose Palatinose is that it is the first and so far the only sugar that has the international stamp "Happy Tooth" given by Tooth Friendly International to products that do not have a negative impact on our teeth. Palatinose is not an efficient carbohydrate source for a sports drink as it is absorbed 4-5 times slower than our carbohydrate sources in sports drinks and gels. The energy is therefore delivered slowly to our muscles, which is not desirable during training and competition.During a carbohydrate loading period lasting 2-3 days before a competition, the speed of uptake does not matter much (i.e., whether the carbohydrates are stored as glycogen in the muscles in 10 minutes or after 40-50 minutes). Considering that Palatinose is tooth-friendly, we have chosen it for our U Loader.Pro tip:Creatine Monohydrate in combination with carbohydrates has been shown to lead to 82% faster glycogen storage compared to carbohydrates alone over a 24-hour period. Therefore, we recommend adding creatine if you are in a last-minute situation and need to top up your stores. During a normal loading period of 2-3 days, the body has time to store the carbohydrates as glycogen in the muscles, so there is no need to optimize with simultaneous creatine intake. However, if you are in a last-minute situation and want to be optimal, it is a tip to consider.Developed by Biomedical scientists in Sweden and manufactured in Sweden. Manufactured according to HACCP/GMP. All these steps are quality guarantees to ensure that you, as a customer, always receive a safe and highest quality product.All ingredients are approved by EFSA (European Food Safety Authority). 100% vegan.Q&A:Can I mix U Loader with more water? Absolutely, you can mix U Loader however you like to achieve the flavor strength you prefer. It works just as well with 300ml as with 1 liter. Our recommendation is 2 scoops in 300ml for the best taste. But you can adjust the dilution to your liking.Can I drink U Loader when I'm exercising at a low intensity? Absolutely, you can use U Loader as a sports drink. For doses up to a maximum of 60g of carbohydrates per hour during low-intensity workouts, it functions as an effective sports drink. For higher doses or during more intense workouts when the stomach is a bit more stressed, it is better to use our specialized sports drink U Sport 1:0.8, as it has a more efficient carbohydrate ratio for faster and higher uptake, which is gentler on the stomach.

Acid-resistant bicarbonate capsules that help you pH buffer to better manage "lactic acid" during intervals Umara's U Bicarbonate increases blood pH so you can train harder during your intense sessions such as intervals and threshold workouts. The container includes 500 capsules with 1g of bicarbonate per capsule. This provides 20-30 doses depending on body weight (see table below).   How does bicarbonate help your performance? Our body has a pH of 7.4, and bicarbonate, which buffers pH, itself has a pH value of 8.3. Research shows that if you ingest bicarbonate in sufficient quantity, you will increase your body's pH and then have a little extra capacity before the muscles become too acidic, and you can't perform. You can simply spend extra time at or above threshold, or push out that last minute on the final interval. The problem that previously arose was the gas formation that occurred when the bicarbonate with pH 8.3 passes through the stomach with pH 1.5. The significant difference in pH between bicarbonate and the stomach creates a strong chemical reaction when the basic meets a very acidic environment, resulting in a reaction with gas formation = not nice for your stomach. Umara has solved this by encapsulating the bicarbonate in special acid-resistant capsules that pass through the stomach and release the bicarbonate first in the small intestine, where it is then absorbed into the blood. The difference in pH between bicarbonate and the small intestine, where the bicarbonate is absorbed, is low, which reduces the risk of stomach problems but maintains the effect. #sciencebyumara   Recommended intake based on body weight* The following recommendation is the standard recommendation and provides 0.3g of bicarbonate/kg body weight (equivalent to 1 capsule per 3.3kg body weight), which research has shown to be a performance-enhancing dose when bicarbonate is ingested in powder form. Start with an acute dose and use buffering only if you cannot handle the acute dose. Body Weight (kg)* 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 Capsules per day over 3 days** (pcs) 24 26 28 30 32 34 36 Acute dose 2-3h before activity (pcs) 18 19 21 23 24 25 27 With capsules, it is theoretically possible to lower the dose towards 0.2g of bicarbonate/kg body weight according to the following table. Our recommendation is to start according to the below table with 0.2g/kg body weight. If it works well, gradually increase towards 0.3g/kg according to the above table. But intake according to the table here under is a good starting dose for most.  Body Weight (kg)* 60 65 70 75 80 85 90 Number of capsules 2h before activity 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 *The intake recommendation refers to a person of normal weight (BMI 20-25). The capsules are taken with 500ml of water **The buffering dose is distributed over 2-4 intakes per day with 300-500ml of water per intake. The last intake is 2-3h before activity.  Developed by Biomedical Scientists in Sweden and manufactured in Sweden.
