ICON Nutrition, a UK-based sports nutrition company have recently agreed to support my training and recovery. Here’s a bit about them:
ICON Nutrition are based in East Yorkshire and were established in January 2012. They offer an evidence-based approach to nutrition and are compelled at helping athletes from grassroots to elite level perform better, recover faster, reduce inflammation, and keep a strong immune system.
They have a small but extremely strong product portfolio which focuses on four unique areas: Performance in Sport, Muscle Recovery, Reducing Inflammation, and Supporting A Healthy Immune System. I’ll briefly touch on some of their more popular products.
100% WHEY PROTEIN: EVOLUTION
ICON’s protein powder is sourced from hormone free grass fed cows making it rich in BCAAs and other minerals and each flavour tastes like a delicious milkshake. Per serving provides 25g of protein and just 125kcals.
CREATINE FRESH
ICON’s innovate approach to creatine supplementation led them to produce Creatine Fresh. Creatine Fresh are mint flavoured chewable creatine tablets that are much easier to consume on a daily basis then creatine powder. Typically creatine powder is hard to consume due to its bitter taste and difficult mixability. Just chew on 4-6 creatine tablets per day to keep your muscles saturated with 3-5g of creatine allowing you to enjoy improvements in strength, power and performance. Creatine is a safe natural supplement and can be used by both males and females.
ZMA
ZMA is a very popular night time recovery supplement. ICON only use the registered SNAC labs approved ZMA formula which is the only formula backed by trustworthy research. Data shows that strenuous exercise results in body losses of zinc and magnesium which can have a negative effect on several important functions within the body and impair a person’s recovery. ZMA helps replenish these important minerals in a single daily serving. ZMA is a night time supplement that you take before you go to sleep. Anecdotal evidence shows a direct correlation with deep restful sleep, vidvid dreams and ZMA consumption.
IGNITE PRE WORKOUT
ICON Nutrition's pre workout is made for natural athletes that want greater energy & focus, and an increase in strength, powder and muscular endurance. Somedays you just don’t feel like working out, this is the best time to take Ignite. Each Ignite tub fuels 40 awesome workouts!
