• Abstract:

  The objective of this study was to develop an ergogenic cream made from natural ingredients—peanuts, almonds, spinach, and orange blossom honey—to optimize athletic performance in weightlifting. An experimental methodology was used that included roasting, dehydrating, and controlled mixing of ingredients. Nutritional analysis showed a high content of vegetable proteins, unsaturated fatty acids, nitrates, and antioxidants. The results showed that consuming 30 g before training improved 1RM by an average of 7.5% and reduced markers of muscle damage by 22%. It is concluded that this formulation represents a natural, economical, and sustainable alternative to synthetic supplements, with proven benefits for athletes' strength, recovery, and metabolic health.
