Polyphenols
A schedule for training blocks and races
The base serving, outside the race period.
One way in regular training, another around a race.
Stick to one agreed plan.
You do not have to take this product all year. A schedule should have a defined goal and length.
The race-period serving still needs to be agreed against the current label. If stomach complaints appear, stop taking it and have them checked.
Worth knowing
How do I take it around a race?
4 capsules a day in two portions of 2: from 4 to 7 days before the race, on race day and for 2 to 4 days after. Compare the serving for that period with the label on your pack.
Why does the race-day serving fall about 2 hours before the effort?
One to two hours before effort is the timing from studies on anthocyanins and extracts. Our blend differs in raw material and in the amount of substance, so it does not reproduce that protocol directly.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
Why is it not taken every day all year?
The schedule is tied to training blocks and races. In a quieter period an open pack is not a reason to keep taking it.More in the guide (in Polish): Polifenole w okresie startowym: czego naprawdę dotyczą badania
Does more mean better?
No. Do not raise the serving beyond the schedule or beyond the label.
Can it cause stomach complaints?
Yes, tolerance of extracts is individual. Try the product outside important races. If complaints get worse, stop taking it and find the cause.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
Can I combine it with Omega-3 or Complex?
Check the ingredient lists, the instructions and the medicines you take. One product range does not mean every combination and every serving is right. Complex does not cover the whole need for micronutrients.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
How many protocols does a pack cover?
Count the days. 7 days before the race, race day and 4 days after is 12 days, so 48 capsules at 4 a day. That leaves 12 capsules in the pack, which is 6 days at 2 a day.More in the guide (in Polish): Polyphenols: plan stosowania, tolerancja żołądka i ile porcji jest w opakowaniu
Does it replace fruit and vegetables?
No. Vegetables and fruit give fibre, water and many other nutrients. An extract does not replace that.More in the guide (in Polish): Cierpka wiśnia i sen: jak czytać wyniki badań, zanim uwierzysz w melatoninę
