Natural Origins’ Baobab powder-based formulation comes from a responsible and sustainable supply chain and was developed for training and intensive physical exercise. Different tests carried out on athletes on its nutritional benefits, namely during the Paca Raid sports event, confirmed the interest of this super fruit for the sports nutrition market. Indeed, the Baobab pulp has not only tonifying, invigorating and energising virtues (1), it also has prebiotic qualities benefitting digestive health (2).

  Source of soluble fiber which contributes to reducing the risk of cardiovascular diseases (cholesterol reduction), mangoes have antioxidant properties based on its high level of polyphenols and carotenoids (beta-carotin and violaxanthin). Mangoes encourage intestinal passage, satiety, and indicate a low glycemic load.

Ideal for athletes: performance, endurance, hydration and recovery

Our product is rich in prebiotic fibers (50% of RDA) is adapted specifically for athletes because it provides energy necessary for the body during and after physical exercise. In fact, carbohydrates from fruit (273 kcal/sachet), antioxidant vitamin, along with magnesium minerals (5% of RDA), potassium (8.5% of RDA) and calcium (5% of RDA) contributes to improving physical performance while encouraging good recovery.

For example, there is an equivalent of 300 mg of potassium in a shake, which compensates mineral loss due to sweating during an hour of endurance and rehydrates the body. Baobab Workout Powder is an essential input of energy which allows the sportsperson to avoid bouts of fatigue. Absorbing sugars is facilitated by the large amount of soluble fibres which decreases the glycemic index during exercise.
