 Reviews:

The athletes of Sporter team have tested the isotonic Litorsal anti-seizure product. Here is the opinion of Vasile Panciuc:

Litorsal contains all the necessary nutrients - water, salts and carbohydrates. During cycling, all the muscles are involved, the body is moving and this has a very good effect on the general body condition. However, when pedaling on a regular basis, it must be remembered that muscle aches will occur at the beginning. This is especially true in the spring when you ride a bicycle after a long break. To avoid this, it is good to take isotonic products. They should be taken periodically during exercise, anticipating thirst. The recommended dose is several times per kilometer. I tested more isotonics and I liked Litorsal. At first, muscle pain diminished, and then disappeared altogether. Now I can just go cycling and do not worry about pain in my muscles again. One of the main advantages is that it's cheap. It is sold in effervescent tablets, one tablet per liter of water. Therefore, 1 liter of isotonic costs only 7 lei. It is very pleasant that the taste is not too concentrated and you don’t feel an unpleasant taste after you drink it. Really an effective product!"

Another review to be taken into account comes from Romanian cycletourist Ciprian Zamfirescu, who crossed the whole of Southern Europe on his bike in 67 days:

“Sports drinks keep body life thanks to carbohydrates and electrolytes. They do not saturate the body with all the necessary elements but stimulate energy production and muscle contraction. Also, isotonics enrich the body with vitamins. Many athletes use these drinks when doing intense cardio workouts and exercises that require strength. At such times, the body sweats deeply, which can lead to dehydration. Replacement of normal water with isotonic allows replenishment of electrolyte reserves. Thus, the proper level of fluid in the body is maintained and the normal acid-base balance is kept.

To minimize the risk of serious seizures, you need to take calcium and magnesium products. In case you have to deal with many severe loads, I recommend you Anticarcel food supplement.

I also had severe seizures in the gastrocnemian and pelvic muscles, even if I did not make much effort and was using isotonics from time to time. Then I started taking sachets with this product for the whole season, starting in April. Now I basically do not have such problems."

The combination of Litorsal isotonic and Anticarcel anti-seizure food supplement allows you to do your best and win.

 It’s for the fifth time that the city bike race Criterium brings together cyclists and cycling lovers. By tradition, both professional and amateur athletes can participate in the race.

 Participants on MTB bikes or road bikes have two distances to choose from - 30 and 60 km, which must be crossed in 1 hour 25 minutes for 30 km, and in 2 hours 50 minutes for 60 km.

 Beginner cyclists will have the chance to participate in VELO FUN by Škoda – the 15-km race throughout the capital.
