Food composition in a dry powder form for endurance training-racing, and metabolic efficiency

Abstract

Disclosed is a dehydrated blend of C8-C10 Medium Chain Triglycerides and the amino acid Glutamine. The present invention provides either a full formulation (zone 2, aerobic intensity) in its own right or a partial substitution (zone 3-4, higher intensity) for carbohydrates in fueling formulations or an additional fuel substrate alongside carbohydrates (zone 4-5, high-intensity training-racing) in such formulations. The product serves as a food ingredient in endurance fueling products like drinks, gels, powders, bars, gummies, etc., promoting enhanced fuel-substrate oxidation to support training-racing intensities while mitigating well-known risks associated with high carbohydrate fueling. These risks include gut/GI distress, reduced aerobic training adaptations, reduced lipolysis, fat oxidation, reduced glycogen retention, elevated lactate production, and chronically heightened blood-sugar levels.
