Intra-Aid (Universal Nutrition)

Advanced Bodybuilder's Intra-Workout Performance Drink!

Proper workout nutrition (intra-workout) is an area that is being supported by a legit, growing body of science. Intra-workout nutrition represents the next big nutritional frontier for bodybuilders and weightlifters. Even so, many lifers often ignore this period. Why is targeted intra-workout supplementation so important? Here's a short list: proper rehydration, muscle and liver glycogen re-synthesis, improved immune function, decreased muscle catabolism, increased muscle protein synthesis, increased muscle anabolism, faster recovery and training at a higher intensity. It's amazing how so many benefits can get overlooked. Intra-Aid brings intra-workout nutrition into the 21st century. It's a combination of key complexes that work in synergy to maximize the aforementioned benefits of workout supplementation.

Intra-Aid consists of 5 potent components: fast-acting hydrolyzed protein, a highly specialized carbohydrate blend, critical electrolytes, an essential amino acid blend, and key ergogenic agents. Intra-Aid combines all of the scientific benefits of proper intra-workout supplementation, leaving out the guesswork. The gym water fountain and popular high fructose "sports" drinks may be good for the regular athlete, but for the serious weight lifter, they just can't compare.

Intra-Aid is a great blend, with EAAs, beta alanine, carbs and whey. It gave me great pumps and recovery, as well as endurance to get through a killer workout. Mixability was flawless, and the Blue Raspberry flavor is delicious! Can be expensive, but you get what you pay for.

Universal Nutrition brought about Intra-Aid in my opinion as an answer to the successful IntrAbolic from Athletic Edge Nutrition. Intra-workout products are the new rage right now in the bodybuilding world. Universal brought about Intra-Aid to keep your muscles fresh between sets allowing them to recover and performing at their best. You train at a high intensity and Intra-Aid will help that. Ingredients include 8 grams of protein, a carb blend that includes wazy maize, hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate, and the endurance enhancer beta-alanine. The flavor I had was blue raspberry and it mixed very easily. The taste is great, especially at its coldest. I liked it on the rocks or in real cold water. I did not tingle that much while taking this product. This is unlike IntrAbolic or Bodywell Nutrition's First Order. I can say I did feel stronger between sets. Vascularity was a little better with this product, but it was hard to tell considering I was taking animal pump too. I feel it is a great product and should be compared to IntrAbolic.
