Maple's science: Maple syrup is a 100% natural product that has not been transformed, that contains no artificial colors and no preservatives. It contains a high volume of carbohydrates which are easily metabolised in glucose by the body during effort, providing the energy needed to perform and to increase resistance. After workout, it helps restore carbohydrates reserves rapidly. Being a source of potassium, calcium and magnesium, maple syrup is a must because these three minerals have an important role in muscle contraction and release. It is also an excellent source of manganese and zinc, two minerals necessary for muscle recovery. Maple syrup is a natural energy source that contains lots of antioxydants. A total of 63 antioxydants compounds have been found in this bio-organic cocktail. Those nutrients have the capacity of neutralising free radicals which protects cells from the oxidizing stress generated during long term effort. In other words, the intake of antioxydants before and after workout reduces muscular fatigue and eases recovery.

Sea Salt: Sodium is an electrolyte essential to life. It is also the electrolyte that is mainly lost in sweat. Consequences of Insufficient Dietary Sodium as with over-consumption, there are performance consequences and health risks associated with under-consumption of sodium including:
- Muscle cramping
- Heat illness
- Inability to properly rehydrate and restore electrolyte balance after exercise
- Increased risk for hyponatremia (diluted levels of sodium in the blood usually caused by excessive water intake).
Sodium helps hydration retention and prevents muscular cramps. Optional on short span efforts (an hour or less), it is essential on a 90 minutes and over cardiovascular effort.
