Tired and drained — when rest alone is no longer enough
The GOLD Sports Duo pairs two specialists: POWERSPORTS® RELOAD with alkaline minerals, 14 vitamins and 7 trace elements for the hours after exertion — and MAP with the eight essential amino acids in free, crystalline form.
Most people who train regularly — or simply have a few more decades behind them — know the pattern. The session itself is fine, but the rest of the day drags. Heavy legs after the bike ride, a sluggish morning after the gym, or just the sense that the tank refills more slowly than it did at thirty. Single measures often fall short here, because two different things are missing at once.
That is where the duo's division of labour comes in. RELOAD belongs in the hours after exertion: the powder delivers alkaline-forming minerals such as magnesium carbonate and potassium hydrogen carbonate, plus B vitamins and seven trace elements — micronutrients the body processes in the recovery window rather than during activity. MAP takes on the second job and provides the raw materials from which the body assembles muscle proteins, enzymes and antibodies. Because the amino acids are already present individually, there are no long protein chains to break down in the digestive tract.
There is substance behind both names. RELOAD comes from Cosmoterra in Unternberg, Austria, and is regularly tested for selected doping substances. The Master Amino Acid Pattern goes back to Prof. Dr. Maurizio Lucà-Moretti of the International Nutrition Research Center and has been a protected trademark since the early 1990s — what you get here is the original, not an imitation.
MAP: As required, take 5–9 tablets daily with a glass of water.
POWERSPORTS® RELOAD: Dissolve one level measuring spoon (approx. 10 g) in ¼ litre of water. Drink only AFTER finishing physical activity — not during.

Why two products instead of one all-rounder?
Because micronutrients and protein building blocks work to different timetables. RELOAD is deliberately formulated for the hours after exertion — that is when the body processes alkaline-forming minerals and B vitamins instead of competing with digestion during activity. MAP, by contrast, is flexible: in the morning, around training, or with a meal. A combined product would have to squeeze both logics into one serving — the duo keeps them cleanly apart.
How do free amino acids differ from a protein shake?
In a shake, the amino acids sit in long protein chains that the digestive tract has to break apart first. In MAP, the eight building blocks are already individual and unbound — no carriers, no hydrolysis, and remarkably heat-stable. At 20 kcal per daily portion, the protein top-up barely registers on the calorie side.
⚠️ Mandatory information: Do not exceed the recommended daily intake. Food supplements are no substitute for a balanced and varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Keep out of reach of small children. RELOAD: Concurrent use of anticoagulants (coumarin type) only after consulting your doctor.
📦 Storage: RELOAD: Store in a dry place, protected from light. MAP: Store in a dry environment at a temperature not exceeding 25 °C.
💬 Frequently asked questions
-
How do I combine the two products day to day?+A proven split: anchor MAP to a fixed habit — breakfast or your training slot. RELOAD goes exclusively into the hours after exertion, dissolved in ¼ litre of water. On rest days you simply continue MAP and skip RELOAD.
-
Does the duo help with building muscle?+Protein contributes to a growth in muscle mass — that is the nutrient-based connection, and MAP supplies the eight essential building blocks for it. How much muscle mass actually grows also depends on training, sleep and calorie balance.
-
I'm not a competitive athlete — is the set still for me?+Yes. Both formulas are aimed at active people with increased needs — recreational runners, cyclists, gym-goers, and anyone who keeps moving regularly in later life. Protein contributes to the maintenance of muscle mass, a topic that tends to matter more with the years, not less.
-
How long does the set last?+The 360 MAP tablets last around ten weeks at five tablets a day. The RELOAD tub covers 60 servings — training three times a week, that is roughly five months. Both supplies run comfortably in parallel.
-
What should I bear in mind if I take medication?+RELOAD contains vitamins K1 and K2. If you take coumarin-type anticoagulants (such as Marcoumar or Sintrom), discuss intake with your doctor first — vitamin K can influence the effect of these medicines.
-
Are the products available individually?+Yes — both components are also sold separately: POWERSPORTS® RELOAD powder 600 g and MAP amino acids 360 tablets. The set saves you money compared with buying them individually.
