Intra-workout formulas: how to choose
When shopping for intra-workout formulas, start by comparing products on their actual label details rather than choosing on name or pack design alone. Sports-nutrition formulas are designed around different points in a training routine, so ingredient profiles vary by product type. Powders, capsules and ready-to-mix products can offer different serving options.
Useful points to compare include:
- Formula type: Compare carbohydrate, amino-acid, electrolyte and stimulant ingredients where relevant.
- Timing: Use the product label to understand whether a formula is intended before, during or after training.
- Serving size: Check the amount per serving, number of servings and any added flavours or sweeteners.
Vitamin360 lets you compare intra-workout formulas from different brands in one place. Always read the product description, ingredients, allergen information and directions before purchase, and choose a product that matches your dietary preferences and intended use. If you are pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication or managing a medical condition, ask an appropriate healthcare professional before using a new supplement.
