Featured: Coming Soon… Epic Sport

Epic SportHave you ever wondered what affect any fitness supplements you take might have on your cardiovascular health? We were excited to hear about a new supplement that comes with a free state-of-the-art fitness tracker app. For the first time, users can measure improvements to key output indicators such as central vascular age, maximum heart rate, rate of oxygen uptake and mean arterial blood pressure with the swipe of a smartphone. EPIC Sport is a new supplement which helps athletes to improve their performance, endurance, recovery and mental alertness by improving the flow of oxygenated blood around the body. Its unique patented technology means sportspeople can see visible evidence of its benefits, as the accompanying smartphone app uses the mobile phone’s camera to record increased blood flow and oxygen levels in the skin, tracking variations in light reflectance with more accuracy than the green light technology used in most wearable devices. A baseline reading is taken before consuming EPIC Sport, and then a subsequent reading is taken after exercise when the epicatechin – the key bioactive ingredient – reaches a peak, around two hours after consumption. As well as short-term performance enhancement, users are able to easily see the chronic improvements in their cardiovascular health over time.

EPIC Sport is due to launch in the UK this summer. It is available as a seven-sachet pack, including mobile phone app and data storage.

Price: £19.95 www.EPICSport.co
