Due to a complex interaction of geological and environmental factors, periods of micronutrient deficiency were likely common throughout human evolution. It makes sense that the body would have mechanisms in place to maintain short term survival during such periods, even if it were deleterious to healthy ageing [1]. Throughout history, natural selection has been known to favour short-term survival over long term health if the two are in conflict. Selection for reproductive success early in life may involve trade-offs that shorten lifespan [2]. These mechanisms are witnessed across many species and seem consistent throughout nature.

You may have heard the term metabolism before. But what does it mean, and how does it apply to you? Here at Radix, we strive to create a range of products that optimise your physical and cognitive function so you can perform at your best. We do this through our nutritional design and something that we call metabolic performance.

Here at Radix, we’ve used the DIAAS score to guide the development of the most effective, technologically advanced protein on the market.

Using the DIAAS score to drive the improvement of our products, we have achieved protein formulations of the highest quality, providing your body with the building blocks it needs to function at its best. By achieving a class-leading amino acid profile and ensuring exceptionally high digestibility, our protein powders are now able to unlock a new level of performance for athletes.

Carbohydrates consist of sugar molecules found as both simple structures or longer, more complex chains [2]. They are the body’s most efficient energy source for metabolism and cellular processes. There are three types of carbohydrates; sugars, starches, and fibre.

Fats are a critical part of any diet, providing the body with its primary source of long term stored energy. Many other metabolic pathways, such as membrane formation and hormonal control, rely on an adequate fat supply to function. There are many different types of fats, some that are beneficial to health and some that are very detrimental. Understanding the role of fats is an essential part of developing a performance-based diet.

The term micronutrients is a broad classification that includes both vitamins and minerals.  Vitamins are organic (carbon-based) compounds produced by living organisms, such as plants and animals.

The microbiome is an aspect of nutrition that often gets overlooked, especially in the athletic community. However, our bodies have co-evolved with thousands of species of bacteria, to the point where we now rely on their function to optimise our health. Providing your microbiome with the proper nutrients can have vast implications on your health and your ability to achieve peak performance.

Ultra-endurance refers to your body’s capacity to sustain exercise for a very long time period. It is mainly determined by the body’s ability to generate and utilise energy through multiple metabolic processes. Ultra-endurance is growing in popularity, with events that last hours, days, and even weeks becoming more common in the athletic and recreational fields.

Endurance refers to your body’s capacity to sustain exercise for an extended period. It is determined largely by the ability to distribute oxygen around the body and utilise it for energy production within the muscles. Many sporting disciplines require an endurance component, and in many cases, it is the key determinant for success.

Strength and power are two terms that generally refer to short, explosive exercise efforts. They are essential components of many sports, and athletes often develop specialised training to maximise their efficiency. Many metabolic processes contribute to strength and power, and utilising relevant nutritional concepts can help to maximise force production.

Our move to an entirely Plant-based meal range is a step forward in our journey to develop nutritional products of the highest quality. At Radix, our priority is to create products that optimise metabolic health and performance. In order to achieve this, we’ve worked through an extensive development process, taking into consideration the quality, nutrient density, flavour, texture, and convenience of every meal. During this development phase, we realised our plant-based products were outperforming our meat-based products in almost all key areas.

Protein is an essential nutrient that mainly serves as the “building blocks” for the cells in our bodies. It is a broad term that accounts for a vast number of molecules. Protein structures are made up of combinations of 21 smaller molecules, called amino acids. Aside from structural and functional roles, protein can also be broken down to function as a source of energy
