What: The latest performance-enhancing supplement from Healthspan Elite’s Informed-Sport accredited range. This fast-releasing caffeine chewing gum provides an energy boost in as little as 10 to 15 minutes – much quicker than a cup of coffee, which takes on average 45 minutes to kick in.
Why: The benefits of caffeine on performance are well documented and include an increase in energy and focus, as well as a reduction in perceived exertion and pain. All products in the range are batch tested and Healthspan Elite is a partner to Team Sky, Southampton FC, British Sailing, Scottish Rugby, Sport Wales and The English Institute of Sport.
Paul Mullan, head of sports science and medicine at British Sailing, was among the leading experts who zbatch-tested the caffeine gum with athletes and he was impressed with the results. “When applied on top of an optimal dietary intake of balanced nutrients, Kick-Start gum has several interesting performance impacting applications,” Mullan said.
