    Supplements to improve aerobic fitness?

    Hi there,

    I've been training Muay Thai for the past year, and am really trying to get my fitness to that next level. I train 4-5 times a week (5 times if I'm training for a fight), and the training is basically set out like this, in the following order:

    Run for 30 minutes
    Skip for 10 minutes
    Shadow Box for 2 rounds, Pushups between rounds
    Pads (sometimes 3 x 3 min, 4x2 min, 5x2 min, 5x3 min, 2x5 min, and occasionally 1 x 10 min rounds)
    Sparring (usually 4 x 3 min rounds)
    10 minutes grapple/clinch
    Core work (situps etc)
    Stretch.

    All up one training session takes about 2 hours.

    So I'm looking for information on supplements that can help improve my aerobic capacity/fitness long term.

    I realise Carbohydrates are good for energy, but I was thinking more of a permanent lasting aid to the body as opposed to just a once off "energy food" suggestion. Is there a supplement out there that can help aid me in my quest for greater aerobic endurance?

    Citrulline and palatinose for prolonged energy
    Glutamine for reduced recovery time
    And of course creatine (no need to explain i believe)!

    water.. since you said long term, i assume you want something that is natural and life changing, at least that's what you say you are looking for..

    Time and age will increase your tendon strength, and a good diet will keep healthy blood which will increase your endurance capabilities..
