226ers was born within the long distance triathlon, in order to help the triathletes cope with 226 kilometers, the toughest test in the world with a specific distance.
The long distance from the triathlon consists of 3,860 m of swimming, 180 km of cycling and 42.2 km of race on foot (the same as a marathon), which represents a total of 226 km that must be covered individually, unable to roll in a platoon or wheel in the cycling sector. Triathletes dedicated to this discipline can devote to training up to 40 hours per week. In such a demanding evidence, both in competition and in training, nutrition takes special relevance, since the body feels continuously subject to the limit and must perform 100%.
We are aware that carry uNa balanced and lifestyle -oriented diet of the athlete and with quality foods is very important, but that due to the amount of physical effort we make and the stress to which we submit to the body, this is not always enough. Foods alone are not enough to meet all the nutritional needs of our body when facing sports activity, therefore complementing our food with quality supplements.
Jesús Sánchez, CEO of 226ers and the one who was Ironman® European champion in 2012 in its age category, considers that "In addition to providing energy during exercise, you must have a good taste, have quality ingredients and not assume digestive problems." Therefore, it is committed to gluten -free nutrition (all 226ers products are gluten free), based on the extent possible in natural ingredients and reducing the maximum components such as sugar and lactose. Pnillars that consider fundamental and optimal sports nutrition for its mission.
- Quality carbohydrates.
Under normal conditions, carbohydrates are the main source of energy from which our body is nourished while we perform a sports activity. Keeping carbohydrate reserves well loaded during the 90 minutes of the game is essential for players to maintain the demanding rhythm that a match poses. For this, it is important to have quality sports supplements rich in quality carbohydrates, which do not suppose heavy digestion and give you all the energy to perform optimally. For this, 226ers has different sports drinks, which can be adapted to the athlete's profile, at the time of intake or the type of exercise, in which the only carbohydrate is amylopectin. This carbohydo has a very low osmolarity, which makes it easy to digest and highly available energy, which considerably reduces digestive problems, dehydrations in conditions of high temperature and moisture, at the same time avoiding the unwanted peak of energy. Another option is the extensive line of Bio Energy Gels, with which they can contribute immediate energy of the highest quality with different contributions of caffeine and mineral salts. As well as the extensive line of Endurance Fuel Bars, composed of natural ingredients and very varied in flavors.

- Hydration.
Hydration is key to maintaining performance, avoiding fatigue problems, performance drop and cramps, especially under conditions of high temperature and humidity. In maximum performance conditions, water is not enough to optimally hydrated the body. Through sweating the human body gives off a large number of mineral salts, mainly sodium, that water itself is not able to replace. For this we have the 226ers Isotonic Drink in several flavors and supplements of mineral salts: the 226ers Salt Electrolytes and the 226ers Sub9 Salt, with a high sodium concentration.

- Recovery.
After a great physical effort and subsequent wear and tear of the athlete's body, as a game is, a good recovery is crucial for players to reach 100% at their next appointment. Here they take special relevance proteins of rapid assimilation and high biological value, in addition to other agents that influence tissue recovery. Therefore, it is important to have a quality recuperator whose composition and relationship of ingredients ensures rapid recovery. In this aspect 226ers works with high protein relationships in relation to carbohydrates (amylopectin), which guarantees a perfect recovery. This explains why 226ers recovery is the market leader in recovery drinks in resistance sports.
