01 — Race Preparation
Goal: Support recovery while training volume rises
Daily
- 1 sachet every day
- Easy / short days: Take it 45 min before bed
- Long easy sessions: Take it 30 min before the start of the training session
Goal: Natural adaptation — keep PLASMAIDE targeted
USE WHEN NEEDED
- Do not take PLASMAIDE nightly
- Take only before your highest intensity sessions, ~30–45 min pre-session
- Usually 1–2 sachets per week
Goal: Maximise recovery and race-readiness
Nightly
- Take 1 sachet every night, 45 min before bed
- Add 1 extra sachet, 30–45 min before the training session
Stage Races
- Take 1 sachet 30 minutes before each stage to prepare for the day's effort
- After each stage, take 1 additional sachet in the evening to speed up recovery
- For 1 week after the race, continue with 1 sachet daily to maintain recovery
- For optimal preparation, take 1 sachet daily for 3–4 weeks before the event
- On event day, take 1 sachet 30–45 minutes before the start
- Take during the race every 4-6 hours, when there is a 30 min gentle section (eg downhill or recovery section)
- After the event, take 1 sachet in the evening to start the recovery process
- Continue with 1 sachet daily for 2 weeks post-event for full recovery
CYCLING & WASHOUT
- For optimal athletic benefits we recommend athletes cycle on and off PLASMAIDE to ensure the body receives the acute nitric oxide effects for race day and does not get acclimated to PLASMAIDE and its adaptogenic functions.
- After your event we recommend a washout period of at least 14 to 21 days during which no PLASMAIDE is used.
