Understanding the “Ups” & “Downs” of Exercise
Although we are told that exercise is good for our bodies, what we are unaware of is that exercise pushes the body beyond its usual capabilities (resulting in muscle damage). With the right amount of recovery time and appropriate nutrients, the body will efficiently repair and rebuild towards an increased level of strength and endurance (this is known as the adaptation syndrome). To continually improve our level of fitness, these principles must be supported by the right amount of nutrients and antioxidants. If these essential nutrients are provided, this will boost exercise performance and reduce exercise recovery time.
During exercise, our bodies will:
Increase the rate and amount of oxygen utilised
Increase metabolism (burn more calories)
After a bout of exercise, our bodies will:
Have an increased accumulation of toxins (free radicals) and by-products (lactic acid)
A reduced physical resistance due to increased exercise demands
Free Radicals and Lactic Acid
Since exercise increases the amount of oxygen used in the body, this causes an increased production of unstable molecules called free radicals. These highly reactive molecules can damage cells and are believed to be the main cause of sore, aching muscles a day or two after exercise (known as delayed onset muscle soreness, or DOMS).
Wastes/By Products
Since exercise increases metabolism, there is an increased production of waste and by-products. Collectively, these wastes need to be quickly eliminated and neutralised to reduce muscle soreness and improve exercise recovery.
Reduced Physical Resistance
Since we are “overloading” our bodies with physical stress, it takes time to repair and replenish the cells after exercise (this is known as exercise recovery).
Intra Helps Support An Active & Athletic Lifestyle

Intra For Energy
Intra contains ingredients that fully support the energy system. Without these essential nutrients, the body could not reach optimal levels of activity. German chamomile, ginger root, bee pollen, and Chinese pearl barley are some of the ingredients in Intra that promote energy.
Intra For Physical Stress
Adaptogens
Normalise and raise an individual’s resistance to all forms of stresses in the body (including the physical stress associated with exercise). Intra contains the following adaptogens:
Siberian Ginseng
A classical adaptogenic herb
Siberian ginseng has been extensively researched by the Russians, and at one time it was popular among workers and athletes in that country to improve performance and endurance, as well as prevent sickness in the workplace.
Siberian ginseng has been scientifically shown to increase energy and stamina and help the body resist viral infections and environmental toxins.
Reishi Mushroom
In the Orient, Reishi is considered a Fu Zhen herb (immune modulation).
Reishi has various applications, including acting as an adaptogen in helping the body fight the effects of all forms of stress.
Intra For Antioxidants
Antioxidant supplements have been shown to be effective in reducing delayed-onset muscle soreness and improving exercise recovery. Juniper berry, liquorice, rosehip, schisandra berry, and passion flower contain antioxidants such as vitamin C and flavonoids that destroy free radicals and toxins caused by exercise.
