Can you introduce yourself?
I am Denise Kielholtz, 34 years young and living in Amsterdam.

What do you do?
I am a professional martial arts athlete.

What does your sports career look like?
I once started judo as a 9-year-old girl. Until I was 15 years old, I won 1 gold medal, 1 silver medal, and 2 bronze medals at the Dutch championships. Then I started kickboxing at the age of 17, and I became 6 times world champion. I made a switch to Mixed Martial arts 5 years ago, and I am working hard to achieve my dream of being the first woman to be both the kickboxing and MMA champion in 1 organization. With hard work, I believe this goal can be achieved.

How many times a week do you train?
I train 6 days a week, and in competition preparation, I train 2 or sometimes 3 times a day.

What does your training day look like?
In the morning, I start with my mental training. Meditation, visualizing, and reading educational books. Then my morning workouts vary in strength/conditioning, ground workouts, wrestling, and kickboxing. The evening training in competition preparation is usually a complete MMA workout or sparring.

Are there any specific dietary restrictions or considerations you have as an athlete?
I fight in the flyweight division, which is up to 57 kg. I normally run around 62 kg. So I always have to lose around 5 kg before my competition. I also try to maintain a weight of 5 kg maximum in my off-season, because I know how tough it gets otherwise to drop the 57 kg before a competition. That’s why I’m actually always working on my nutrition. I don’t eat too many carbs, and I’m always balancing my eating patterns with each other. So I do eat some bread but I don’t eat rice or potatoes in the evening, so it changes often. So I’m actually working on my nutrition 24/7.

How do you approach your diet and nutrition during competition season versus off-season?
When I’m in the off-season, I treat myself to a cheat day every weekend. Then I don’t pay attention to what I eat for a while. But once I’m in my fight camp, then the cheat days are out of question and I avoid fats and sugars as much as possible.

Do you use sports nutrition, if so, what?
I use, protein shakes, extra vitamin supplements, and occasionally a pre-workout.

And why this brand (Pure2improve)?
The name says it all, the product is Pure. Pure with the right ingredients that my body needs to present optimally. No unnecessary sugars and Pure proteins that make my body stronger in all areas.

Do you notice any difference in your sports performance/training since using Pure2Improve nutrition?
Since using it, I noticed that I recover faster after a workout, have more energy left, and in terms of muscle building and recovery, I see strong results.

Would you recommend your friends/family to buy Pure2Improve nutrition?
Do you want to strengthen your body, in the purest way possible in all areas? Then I recommend everyone to use this product to get stronger!

Nutrition is the cornerstone of athletic performance, and Pure2Improve understands the importance of fuelling your body with the right nutrients to reach your fitness goals. In this blog, we will explore Pure2Improve’s range of nutrition essentials, including whey protein, Vegan protein, creatine, iso tonic, pre-workout supplements, and essential amino acids. These products are designed to support your training, enhance recovery, and maximize your overall performance.

Whey Protein: Power-Packed Recovery Fuel

Whey protein is a complete protein derived from milk that contains all nine essential amino acids. It is quickly absorbed by the body, making it an ideal post-workout supplement to support muscle repair and growth. Pure2Improve’s whey protein provides a high-quality protein source, rich in branched-chain amino acids (BCAAs), which can aid in muscle recovery, promote lean muscle mass, and enhance strength gains.

Vegan Protein: Plant-Based Performance Booster

For athletes following a plant-based or vegan lifestyle, Pure2Improve offers Vegan protein. Made from pea, Vegan protein provides a complete amino acid profile and is easily digested. It offers similar benefits to whey protein, supporting muscle recovery, and promoting lean muscle growth without compromising dietary preferences.

Creatine: Amplify Strength and Power

Creatine is a naturally occurring compound found in small amounts in meat and fish. It plays a vital role in providing energy for high-intensity activities by replenishing adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the body’s primary energy source. Pure2Improve’s creatine supplement can increase strength, power, and endurance, allowing you to push harder during training sessions and maximise your athletic performance. Creatine also can contribute to faster recovery after an intense workout. For example, creatine can help replenish glycogen faster and ensure less muscle damage after exercise. It can also contribute to faster recovery of muscle strength.


Iso Tonic: Rehydrate and Replenish Electrolytes

Proper hydration is crucial for maintaining performance and preventing dehydration. Pure2Improve’s Iso Tonic is a refreshing electrolyte drink formulated to rehydrate and replenish vital minerals lost through sweating. Packed with essential electrolytes like sodium, potassium, and magnesium, Iso Tonic helps restore fluid balance, support muscle function, and improve endurance during intense workouts or competitions, but also sports such as golf.


Pre-Workout: Energise Your Performance

Pre-workout supplements are designed to enhance focus, energy, and endurance during training sessions. Pure2Improve offers pre-workout formulas that contain a combination of key ingredients like caffeine, beta-alanine, and citrulline malate. These ingredients work synergistically to increase alertness, delay muscle fatigue, and improve blood flow, allowing you to train at a higher intensity and optimise your workouts.


Essential Amino Acids (EAAs): Building Blocks for Recovery

Essential amino acids (EAAs) are the building blocks of protein and are crucial for muscle repair, recovery, and growth. Pure2Improve’s EAA supplements provide a balanced blend of all nine essential amino acids, including the three BCAAs (leucine, isoleucine, and valine). EAAs can be consumed pre, intra, or post-workout to support muscle protein synthesis, reduce muscle breakdown, and accelerate recovery.


Conclusion

Pure2Improve offers a comprehensive range of nutrition essentials designed to fuel your athletic journey. Whether you choose whey protein or vegan protein for muscle recovery, creatine for strength and power, iso tonic for hydration, pre-workout supplements for enhanced performance, or essential amino acids for optimal recovery, Pure2Improve has you covered. These products, combined with a well-balanced diet and proper training, can help you unlock your potential, reach your fitness goals!
