Flapjacks are certainly delicious, but nutritionally advantageous to the health conscious gym-goer? Not really! Of course your average 'confectionery' flapjack is not designed for someone who is on his or her way to the gym to try & hit a deadlift personal best, or a weight trainer rushing out the door without time for breakfast. These are times for low GI carbohydrates & protein which give you the energy you need to get going & the protein to protect & repair muscle fibres. But this is what all protein flapjacks aimed at hard training individuals provide, so what else can be added to make it more than just another protein flapjack? Let's start with caffeine. No introduction needed as its positive effects on mental acuity & energy levels are well documented, along with the ability to reduce fatigue & tiredness. Taurine, which works synergistically with caffeine to boost mental performance & mood as well as increasing the VO2max, which basically means you can train harder for longer. Add Glucoronolactone into the mix (which improves reaction times) along with a potent B vitamin blend for energy release, & you have the perfect combination of nutrition & mental energy to get you through the day.
