Application of Mildronate in Sports

Mildronate is known not only to those who "pump iron". It is used in almost all kinds of sports, since in its effect it is universal. However, 01.01.2016 Mildronate included in the list of prohibited substances World Anti-Doping Agency (WADA). Now this drug is officially considered doping.

The active substance of Mildronate is Meldonium (trimethylhydrasine propionate). It was synthesized in the 70s of the last century. And immediately he received widespread among medical practitioners and athletes.

Properties

A property of this drug is that it improves the metabolism at the cellular level. That is, it contributes to a more rapid removal of the decay products of the cells and a faster recovery of their energy resources. In particular for the muscles of athletes, this means rapid recovery after physical exertion. And it does not matter whether this power loads or load endurance. Everything said in this article applies equally to all kinds of sports. You recover quickly, which means that the next training session will be able to be in better physical shape and show a better result.

Mildronate is available in capsules (for oral administration), and ampoules (intravenous injection). It is proved that the injection efficiency of its almost 2 times higher than for oral administration. It is understandable, because the active ingredient gets directly into the blood.

Dosage

Capsules volume of 0.25 g Athletes recommend 0.5 to 2 grams per day. The average dosage of 1 g (4 capsules). It is regarding the ampoules in a vial - 5 ml. For athletes recommended by 5 ml -10 ml per day.

Side effects

To take Mildronate is better in the morning, as there may be minor side effects. Namely:

-Tachycardia (increased heart rate)

-Hypertension (high blood pressure),

As a result, a slight agitation.

Personally, I have all of these side effects were present in the use of Mildronate intravenous and absent when oral administration. However, despite the fact that I was more difficult to fall asleep because of the increased pressure, and I will spill on the sleep time it had less.

Efficiency Of Mildronate (Meldonium)

When it makes sense to use Mildronate (meldonium)? It seems to me that most strongly its effect will occur if you are pretty intense exercise, and even work you hard. In general, you just do not have time to recover. And even if you eat enough and sleep, the muscles simply will not have enough time to recover. That in such cases Mildronate helps. I took a few courses of injecting the drug (a total of about 100 vials) and always observed increase in the rate of recovery. In one of the periods within a month I do every day until the evening worked in construction and then went to the gym. And all this time tried Mildronate intravenously. In general, the preparation work.

Duration of application - 3 - 5 weeks (about a month), as it may eventually develop resistance (insensitivity) of the organism to this matter. Once again I remind you that Mildronate can help your muscles recover faster, but it will not replace proteins and carbohydrates. Therefore, if you are not eating, Meldonium will not save you from overtraining.
