Bulk Nutrients use in Motocross
Motocross riders need a balanced diet to help maintain energy and focus during a race, as well as to aid them in recovery.
Let’s break down what a Motocross rider needs in their diet, and some of the supplements that can help in all areas of health, nutrition and wellness.
- Carbohydrates: Carbs are the primary source of energy. Bulk Nutrients’ Carb+ is a product designed to give long lasting energy, making it perfect for on-bike training days, when doing long moto’s, or race days. Carb+ is a unique blend of three carbohydrates that offer different functions and work together to provide a balanced fuel source. Look to start taking it in a small dose the afternoon before race day, then again the morning of. Take 40g of Carb+ in a 30ml scoop, mixed with 400-600ml of liquid.
- Protein: Adequate protein helps repair muscles that are stressed during rides, ensuring you recover the best you can. We recommend Bulk Nutrients’ Protein Matrix – it’s up to 81% protein per serve (very high for a blend) with BCAAs that are essential for muscle recovery, low in fats and carbs and with a lactase enzyme, making it easier to digest. We recommend a 30g serve (1 rounded scoop) after training or a race day, with milk or water.
- HCP – Hydrolysed Collagen Peptides (HCP) is another awesome product from Bulk Nutrients. Collagen proteins are the building blocks of the connective tissue and tendons within the body, which makes HCP a unique protein for supporting mobile joints, and cartilage- a must for sports that are prone to injury. For general use and to receive maximum benefits, consume 25 grams (approximately ¾ flat scoop) daily.
- Vitamins and Minerals: Essential for supporting all aspects of the body.
- Vitamin C: Supports the immune system and helps with the repair of tissues.
- Vitamin D: Important for bone health and muscle function.
- B Vitamins: Aid in energy production and red blood cell formation.
Bulk Nutrients’ Vitamin C Powder can assist in supporting a healthy immune system, reducing fatigue, and aiding in the absorption of other vital nutrients such as iron – take when feeling down, mix with liquid and drink.
Proviotic Capsules – Bulk’s Proviotic Capsules contain Vitamins A, C, D and E, as well as a full array of B Vitamins alongside several essential minerals including Zinc, Magnesium and Calcium. A typical serve is two capsules daily.
Vital Pre Mix – Bulk’s Vitamin and Mineral Pre Mix is a combination of vitamins and minerals, based on the Australian recommended daily intake (RDIs). This product is designed for those making their own meal replacements, or for anyone looking at a convenient way to ensure all RDIs are achieved in a simple, convenient powdered form.
- Hydration: Staying hydrated is crucial. Water is essential, but during long rides or intense sessions, electrolyte-rich drinks can help replenish lost minerals.
Electrolyte Plus is a tasty drink designed to be taken during exercise and works to improve hydration by replenishing glycogen and electrolytes. Electrolyte Plus is perfect for endurance athletes or those needing a kick during grueling training sessions. Bulk Nutrients also have Electrolyte Blend. Consume 60g (approximately 1.5 scoops) of Electrolyte+ before or during training. An extra dose should be taken during each additional hour of intensive exercise. Combine powder with approximately 500ml of liquid
