truefuels, the performance nutrition brand trusted by endurance athletes worldwide and co-founded by two-time Olympic triathlon champion Alistair Brownlee, has unveiled CoreCtrl — a breakthrough innovation that introduces a new category in sports nutrition called "performance thermoregulation."
truefuels' CoreCtrl product is designed to help athletes better manage heat stress in training and competition by addressing one of the most persistent limits to athletic performance, which is the body's ability to handle heat under load. Specifically, the performance thermoregulation supplement addresses the challenge that during exercise, approximately 75 to 80 percent of energy is released as heat, and when heat production exceeds the body's ability to dissipate it, performance becomes constrained not by fitness or motivation but by protective physiological limits. To mitigate this, CoreCtrl supports the body's natural thermoregulation by enhancing sweat response, improving evaporative heat loss, and reducing internal heat storage. This may result in greater control, consistency, recovery, and resilience when racing or training in hot conditions.
