While pre- and post-workout supplementation tends to be quite widely discussed in fitness circlesm topic, you won't find much about choosing the right supplements during training. And that's where Super Intra, the supplement behind Robert Humpál (Supertrénr), comes out of the blue, costing 60 crowns for a single dose. And even though we don't usually pay much attention to the so-called intra workouts, this time we couldn't help ourselves, even considering the very high price.
Content of the review
So what is Super Intra like? And is it even worth the money? That's what we'll discuss in this independent review.
Composition, which perhaps can not be faulted
For us, traditionally the most important aspect when choosing a supplement is the composition. And in the case of Super Intra, we have to admit that we have nothing to complain about. Rather than a list of ingredients, we bring you a list ofsome interesting points that are definitely worth highlighting from the ingredients:
- While the vast majority of competing supplements contain cheap sources of carbohydrates such as maltodextrin and others, Super Intra relies on cyclic dextrin (called dextrin). Cluster Dextrin®), which is the top carbohydrate source for intensive training athletes.
One serving contains a gram of sodium chloride (i.e. common salt), as both chloride and sodium tend to leave the body through sweat during strenuous activity. In contrast, calcium or magnesium, for example, which many competitors use, leaves only minimally during sport and it is good that Super Intra does not contain it. - It contains a combo of supplements to promote blood circulation, such as beetroot extract or citrulline malate
- The amino acid blend will definitely come in handy for hard training athletes too.
In short, the sophistication and thoughtfulness of this supplement can be clearly seen in the ingredients alone. Super Intra contains only the best quality stuff on the market, and in addition to the previous information, it is a good example that the usually used creatine monohydrate is this time replaced with creatine hydrochloride, which usually suits even individuals who do not find monohydrate good for their stomach.
Hassle-free preparation and convenient use
Since Super Intra is drunk during training, this naturally assumes that you will have some sort of bottle or shaker with you at training. And in that case, of course, you will dissolve this supplement without any problems. We recommend drinking it, based on the advice of the SuperCoach, in the first half of your workout to give all the substances enough time to be absorbed.
What do we say about the price?
Probably the only problematic aspect of Super Intra is, of course, its price. As we announced earlier, for one dose you pay 60 crowns and for the whole pack with 30 doses then at the time of writing this review you will pay 1790 crowns. That's frankly a pretty high price and we can imagine that a lot of athletes who would potentially be interested in the supplement might be put off. On the other hand, however, from a manufacturer's perspective, we completely understand that the price reflects the cost of high quality raw materials.
Who is Super Intra suitable for?
It is perhaps more appropriate to compare the price of Super Intra in the context of who this supplement is suitable for. From our perspective, it is either endurance athletes who will get the most out of it, who will especially appreciate the cyclic dextrin, sodium and theamino acid load, or strength athletes who are trying to get in a maximum of intense and hard training several times a week. For the beginner who trains for maybe an hour and spends half of it watchingor chatting with a sparring partner, these advanced supplements are probably just a waste of money. And if you're advanced and fitness is a priority for you, you probably shouldn't mind paying that much extra for quality, well-built supplements.
What effect will you notice?
In terms of effect, Super Intra is unbeatable. It's good for better blood circulation, but also for energy, as a good portion of cyclic dextrin works perfectly. And the best thing for us - even though we are relatively advanced athletes in our editorial team, we have no problem Super Intra worked for us even at half the dose, which, by the way, is recommended by the manufacturer for women. And if you use only half dose regularly, the price drops to 30 crowns and the pack is enough for more than two months of intensive training. And that is simply and simply worth it.
How do we rate the taste of Super Intra?
Taste-wise, we'd like to say Super Intra doesn't offend, but it doesn't delight either. The taste is not very strong, although there are hints of blood orange, of course. On the other hand, we have to admit that a bland taste is probably a better option than if Super Intra were sour and bold, like the mango pre-workout Pumper we reviewed recently. Ultimately, we have to say that even if you're not going to get excited about this Intra workout...you'll probably be able to drink it without any problems and maybe even enjoy it to the extent that you can.
In conclusion, all that is left to say is that this supplement will definitely come in handy for hard training athletes.
