Key learnings on the DIAAS and measuring protein quality
The following text is a non-exhaustive highlight of main insights derived from the research article "Protein quality as determined by the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score evaluation of factors underlying the calculation (2016)." The core of the discussion is regarding methodology and implications of the Digestible Indispensable Amino Acid Score (DIAAS) in assessing protein quality.
Best Carbs for Endurance Sports - Why Cluster Dextrin and Palatinose Beat Maltodextrin
Most endurance athletes fuel their bodies like they're putting out fires instead of keeping a steady flame burning. They reach for quick-fix maltodextrin gels that spike blood sugar fast, then crash hard. This creates a cycle of energy highs and lows that can ruin performance and make your gut feel terrible.
The truth is, your body can use carbs much more efficiently when you choose the right types. Research shows that slower-releasing carbs may help maintain steady energy levels while reducing digestive stress. This article will show you how different carbohydrate sources work in your body and which ones research suggests are best for long endurance events.

The Strom Sports “ABG10+®” – Aged Black Garlic for Cardiovascular Support
Each bottle of the Strom ABG10+® includes 120 capsules of 500mg ABG10+® aged black garlic extract.
This allows for a full 60 serves of the 1g dose, well above what has seen benefit in human clinical trials.
The reason we choose this much higher dose is based off our own in house testing of ABG10+® and similar extracts in our PED enhanced athletes, in this case more is better. No fairy dusting, no “one a day” nonsense – just what the science and real world practice shows actually works.
CoQ10 and Cholesterol: What the Research Says
High cholesterol affects millions of people worldwide. Many turn to prescription medications, but these often come with unwanted side effects. Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) is a naturally produced compound in the human body that research suggests has a valuable role in managing the oxidative stress load that can come with raised cholesterol, even with some success in normalising elevated lipid profiles, specifically in lowering "Low Density Lipoprotein" (LDL) cholesterol.

Carbohydrate Sources used for Endurance Sport Performance
I’ve recently gone on a manhunt for the most ideal usage of carbohydrates thanks to our Team Strom athlete Liam Messam beginning his training for an Iron Man, which will be later this year. Being an intensive long duration endurance event, well managed glucose and glycogen levels, hence carbohydrate intake will be a high priority. Here’s a quick look through of the popular carbohydrates core qualities wit regard to endurance sporting applications.
