More than just an aspect of an athlete's life, sports nutrition is a cornerstone of athletic performance. Focusing on training alone will not allow you to push your limits if you overlook the nutritional aspect. While the human body is capable of storing the energy needed (in the form of glycogen) for about 20 miles of intense effort, running a 26 miles marathon is a real challenge.
Edible insects, like crickets, are a great source of nutrients. One of them is Chitin. Chitin is a prebiotic fiber that is beneficial for your body and athletic performance. For example, Chitin helps with gastrointestinal (GI) emptying and can decrease inflammation. As a prebiotic, Chitin fuels your microbiota, promoting a healthier digestive and immune system. The more diverse your gut is, the better! Lastly, chitin also controls nutrient absorption, especially lipids. Notably, if you have a shellfish allergy, you may also be allergic to crickets. Try to consume chitin from ground crickets in small or big ways by trying Näak's ULTRA Energy Bars, Recovery Protein Powder or Cricket powder!
