A particular product, very effective, but to be used after proper testing

The Company

Watt+ was established in 1997. The founders and current owners are Marco Favaron and Guido Vantini, reached this milestone by pharmaceutical research: both graduates with relevant experience in prestigious research institutes in Milan, in the United States, Switzerland and then in primary pharmaceutical companies. The curriculum vitae of Mark and Guido is also found in the philosophy of production +Watt, where the materials of the highest quality and each product should see the light only on the basis of scientific research bases.

Products +Watt

The range +Watt is comprehensive and wide, suitable for all sports and special needs that may go by increases in muscle mass, energy recovery, reduction of fat, etc. Among the tonic, in addition to the product Energy Stack, we find the product Caffeine+ and two integrators based on zinc and other principles.

The product on test: Energy Stack

Energy Stack è un integratore alimentare a base di caffeina e la presenza di carboidrati (maltodestrine, fruttosio e destrosio) presenti nella soluzione è finalizzata a contrastare il gusto amaro della stessa caffeina. L'efficacia del prodotto si basa quindi sulla possibilità di fornire all'organismo una dose relativamente alta di caffeina, carnitina e vitamina C. La caffeina, come è noto, è in grado di stimolare la secrezione di ormoni, l’adrenalina e la noradrenalina, tramite cui si ottiene, poi, un incremento del metabolismo dei grassi e del metabolismo basale, oltre ad un potenziamento dello stato di veglia ed una diminuzione della percezione del senso di fatica. La quantità di caffeina contenuta in un flacone, 180 mg, corrisponde a circa due caffè espresso; valore che si deve tenere in considerazione per la sua assunzione e per evitare effetti collaterali dovuti all'abuso di caffeina. La carnitina è stata aggiunta in quanto indispensabile nella lipolisi, quindi la sua assunzione determina un generale miglioramento del metabolismo energetico, senza effetti collaterali, visto che l'assunzione di carnitina, anche ad alti dosaggi, non ha mai indotto effetti collaterali nocivi. Energy Stack is a food supplement made of caffeine and carbohydrate (maltodextrins, fructose and dextrose) in the solution is to counteract the bitter taste of caffeine itself. The effectiveness of the product is based on the possibility to provide a relatively high dose of caffeine, carnitine and vitamin C. Caffeine, of course, is able to stimulate the secretion of hormones, adrenaline and noradrenaline, which is obtained by then, an increase in the metabolism of fat and basal metabolism, over to strengthening of the state of wakefulness and a decrease the perception of a sense of fatigue. The amount of caffeine contained in a bottle, 180 mg, equivalent to about two espresso; value that must be taken into account for its recruitment and to avoid side effects due to the abuse of caffeine. Carnitine was added as needed in lipolysis, and its intake leads to a general improvement of energy metabolism, without side effects, since the assumption of carnutina, even at high doses, it has never caused harmful side effects.

The test

Given the small sample that was provided we can only give impressions on Energy Stack. The taste on the palate is very sweet, but this is not the important thing; initially its effects are invalid and should be a time varying from 10 to 30 minutes to start to feel the effects. The time difference depends on the sensitivity of the subject to caffeine. Indeed its recruitment can improve the physical, with a significant increase in heart beats and the ability to push on the pedals. You feel stronger and more energy available, this is true, but it is also true that if you spent a lot, with an accumulation of lactic acid in the legs, in that force majeure is not a proper action on the pedals, hampered by fatigue and muscle pain especially. The effect, however, is still noticeable and helps to overcome moments of crisis or difficult stages of the race. This effect continues for about 1 hour, after which the action begins to decay. That is why we were better in the street to divide into two or three appointments, instead of just one. In this way there is less the increase in heart beats and the largest force after the recruitment, but the state of general well-being is available for a longer period. His assumption, then, if it is without doubt a positive and make a real improvement in performance must be carefully calculated and we can provide for different uses: from energy reserve in case of crisis, or additional resources in the final stages of the competition or by stimulating Fund for the duration of the race. In each case must be found to its tolerability with your body and the right methods of recruitment, which will also take into account time of assimilation.

Conclusions

Energy Stack is an integrator really effective, does not cancel the effects of fatigue, but can have, after his appointment, a period of force that otherwise would be unthinkable. The product fails to eliminate the pain or muscle cramps but increases the ability to work under a more heartbeats, resulting in increased performance. However taken after careful consideration of its effects and the proper intake during the race. This may be one solution or divided into several times, even in this case you need a proper trial in training before taking in the race.

The price

Energy Stack has a price of 4,00 Euro of the pack of 2 vials. A good price, good if view of its excellent efficacy.

Is suitable for

Athlete: is a product for agonist, to assess the time and mode of recruitment for maximizing the positive effects of its recruitment
GF cyclist tourist: it can be taken as an emergency, for use when you are now finished all the stocks of energy

Positive aspects

Effectiveness of the product
Easy assimilation

Negative aspects

It should be used with due caution to avoid an overdose of caffeine
