In this blog post, we will delve deeper into the significance of antioxidants, the role of Spectra® in promoting antioxidant balance, and its incorporation into pre-workout and hydration support supplements.

The Importance of Antioxidants

Antioxidants are the molecules that combat oxidative stress. As the name implies, it’s “anti” (against) “oxidants.”

The body produces antioxidants, and we can get them through a diet rich with various fruits and vegetables.

Antioxidants Balance Out Oxidative Stress

In a perfect world, there should be a balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant levels in the body.

However, an imbalance, whether due to environmental stresses, diets with limited fruits and vegetables, or heavy training, can lead to a state of elevated oxidative stress.

Why Athletes Can Benefit From Antioxidant Support

Both endurance and weight training promote the production of free radicals by reactive oxygen species or ROS, leading to increases in oxidative stress.

That means, those who train hard, without additional nutritional intervention, may lose the delicate balance between oxidative stress and antioxidant support.

Enter Spectra® for Antioxidant Support*

Spectra® Total ORAC is a patented blend of various fruit, vegetable, and herb extracts that can help stimulate antioxidant activity.*

By harnessing the power of these natural sources, Spectra® aims to work as a defense against excessive oxidative stress, especially that which is brought on by intense training.

Of course, it’s not a replacement for whole fruits and veggies, which, regardless of your supplementation, should provide the bulk of your antioxidant intake. With that said Spectra® can allow you to get antioxidant support when it’s hardest to get them from foods: around your training.

Look For Spectra® In Your Pre-Workout and Electrolyte Supplements

At Kaged, we know that an effective pre-workout is about so much more than jacking yourself up with excessive stimulants.

This allows you to get Spectra® at important times around your workout, known as the peri-workout window.
