Functional infusions: a natural source of support

Functional infusions, like those from the Amathè line, combine hydration, antioxidants, and phytonutrients in an easily assimilated form, without refined sugars or artificial additives.
Among the most studied ingredients in sports, we find:

Yerba Mate: rich in polyphenols, natural caffeine, and saponins, it helps combat physical and mental fatigue, improving concentration and recovery capacity.

Sencha green tea: a powerful antioxidant thanks to its catechin content, which reduces muscle oxidative stress and promotes tissue regeneration.

Hibiscus and blueberry: sources of anthocyanins and vitamin C, they support microcirculation and help reduce inflammatory processes.

Guarana: provides constant energy, improving endurance and alertness without the nervousness peaks typical of coffee.

The Role of Inflammation and Oxidative Stress

Most muscle and joint injuries in athletes do not only result from direct trauma but also from chronic low-grade inflammatory processes and oxidative stress linked to overuse, poor nutrition, and dehydration.
During intense exercise, the body produces a high amount of free radicals, unstable molecules that, if not neutralized, damage muscle cells and slow down recovery processes.
This is why functional nutrition and the correct intake of natural antioxidant substances play a key role in injury prevention.

What Science Says

Numerous studies show that a diet rich in plant antioxidants significantly reduces the risk of muscle injuries and post-workout soreness (DOMS).
A study published in the Journal of the International Society of Sports Nutrition highlights that regular intake of natural polyphenols and flavonoids improves muscle recovery capacity and limits oxidative damage induced by physical exertion.
Other studies on Yerba Mate have shown a positive effect on mitochondrial function and increased cellular energy availability, essential elements for maintaining strong and reactive muscles.

Prevention in Practice

Integrating a functional infusion into your daily hydration plan not only helps maintain an optimal electrolyte balance but also supports cellular metabolism during loading and recovery phases.
Regularly drinking infusions like Amathè Endurance, Boost, or Zen promotes:

Greater endurance and muscle recovery;

Reduction of post-workout inflammation;

Improved tissue oxygenation;

Quality hydration, thanks to natural ingredients rich in minerals.

Conclusion

Sports injury prevention is not only about stretching or warm-ups but also about a correct nutritional and hydration strategy.
The Amathè functional infusions are an intelligent ally for those who want to train better, recover faster, and protect their body naturally.
