But when exercising, what should we do if we need a lot of energy and amino acids?

What we need is food that can quickly provide nutrition, and when exercising Directly supplement foods and amino acids with high GI, which is the difference between nutritional supplements before and after fitness!

When should I supplement nutrition before fitness?

There are sufficient nutrients during exercise, which can help you train better, but eat too much and be too full, and you can't exercise. Our source of nutrition is a normal diet, but you need extra nutrition when exercising. Therefore, you can supplement it 30 to 60 minutes before exercise, which can make you have enough nutrition during training and will not be hungry halfway through exercise.
