Premium Endurance Drink Mix

Primary fuel source for muscles and other metabolic functions.

• Cane Sugar - an alternative option to beet sugar produced from sugar cane. Cane Sugar is a readily accepted simple carbohydrate containing fructose.
• Maltodextrin - a complex carbohydrate that lowers the osmolality of the mix that reduces sweetness and contains a high energy density.
• Glucose - The fastest acting carbohydrate for immediate energy.

These are the building blocks of protein without the digestive discomfort of consuming complex proteins that slow gastric emptying and oxidation during intense activity.

• 500mg Leucine - Alternative fuel source & counteracts muscle breakdown.
• 250mg Iso-Leucine - Increased glucose uptake and regulation.
• 250mg Valine - Competes with tryptophan

• The primary electrolyte (cation) lost in sweat.
• Maintains electrical gradients across cell walls.
• Facilitates action potentials in neurons and muscle fibers.

• Second most abundant electrolyte (anion) lost in sweat.
• Maintains the CO2 carrying capacity of blood via chloride shift, which is particularly important during exercise when CO2 production is increased.
• Helps regulate blood pH.

Potassium bound to an organic and readily absorbed citrate ion.

• Bioavailable form of potassium vital for muscle contractions, especially in elevated temperatures.
• Maintains nerves signaling
• Crucial for maintaining resting membrane potential in neurons and muscle cells, ensuring ready activation.

One of the most bioavailable, energizing, and easy to digest forms of magnesium. This form of magnesium is bound / chelated to an organic malate ion. Why we do not use magnesium oxide.

• Acts as a cofactor for ATP synthesis, enhancing energy production at the cellular level.
• Required for the stabilization of ATP, contributing to efficient energy utilization in muscle contractions.
• Supports neuromuscular function.
• Does not cause GI distress or the laxative effects of other forms of magnesium.

Calcium citrate has a higher bioavailability compared to other forms of calcium, such as calcium carbonate. This means that it is more easily absorbed by the body, even in the absence of stomach acid, making it effective during exercise when stomach acid levels might be lower due to increased blood flow to muscles.

• Triggers muscle contraction through its role in the excitation-contraction coupling process, essential for sustained muscle endurance.
• Acts as a secondary messenger in various cellular signaling pathways, crucial for adaptive responses to physical exertion.
• Gentle on the stomach.

Citric acid

• Citric acid plays a central role in the citric acid cycle (also known as the Krebs cycle), a key metabolic pathway that generates energy in the cellular mitochondria.
• Adds a refreshing and tart flavor to improve taste.
• Citric acid can enhance the bioavailability of minerals in the drink mix, such as potassium, calcium, and magnesium, by forming soluble and absorbable citrate complexes.

Malic Acid

• Malic acid is involved in the cellular energy production process, particularly in the conversion of carbohydrates into energy. This can help delay muscle fatigue and improve endurance.
• Although not directly related to physical performance, malic acid has been shown to stimulate saliva production, which can help endurance athletes where dry mouths can be an issue.
• Contributes a pleasant tartness.
