Every sporting activity places different demands on your body. Sometimes you need extra energy and focus; during long sessions, endurance is key; and at other times, muscle function and recovery are important.
That is why Concap has developed a range of practical shots for athletes. Each shot has its own unique formulation and is tailored to a specific moment during or around your training sessions and competitions. They are also formulated according to blood group, with 8 out of 10 athletes typically performing better when using the shot suited to their blood group. However, at Concap, we always recommend testing the shots during high-intensity training sessions before using them in a major competition.
Find out below which Concap shot best suits your sporting activity and blood group.

L-carnitine is a naturally occurring substance in the body that is involved in transporting fatty acids to the mitochondria, where they can be used to produce energy. The amino acid converts the body’s own fat into energy, which is a win-win situation for athletes who also want to manage their weight.
L-carnitine is found naturally in red meat, fish and dairy products, amongst other things.
Who is it for?
The L-Carnitine Shot is of interest to athletes who:
- wish to support their energy balance;

The Magnesium Shot is suitable for:
- athletes who wish to boost their magnesium intake;
- athletes who train intensively on a regular basis;
- use in connection with sporting events;

Magnesium is often used to treat muscle cramps, but cramps can have various causes. That is why it is very important always to try to identify the cause of the cramps.
Usage

There are also value packs, such as X-Nutri Magnesium 500ml; these are more commonly used when you’re not out and about and are, for example, exercising at home.
If desired, the liquid can also be added to a water bottle.
Please note: magnesium citrate may cause digestive problems or have a laxative effect in some people. Those with a sensitive digestive system may wish to opt for a more easily tolerated form of magnesium, such as magnesium bisglycinate.
