Accelerade
Accelerade is the most significant advance in sports drink research in 35 years. Developed by leading exercise physiologists, Accelerade is the first sports drink that provides rapid hydration plus the added benefits of all natural protein to re-energise muscles during exercise and help muscles recover faster.
Only Accelerade contains the patented 4-1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed the movement of carbohydrate energy into muscles.
Studies at leading sports science labs show that protein-powered Accelerade extends endurance up to 24% compared to a conventional sports drink and up to 57% compared to water.
Accelerade also is available in a gel. Accel Gel, the only sports gel that contains carbohydrates and protein in a patented* 4-1 ratio, is unmatched in its ability to help athletes perform better and recover faster.
If you're serious about your exercise, advance to Accelerade.
Endurox R4 Recovery Drink
Endurox® R4® Recovery Drink was developed by leading exercise physiologists and based on landmark research redefining how the exercising muscle recovers. Endurox R4 contains the patented 4 to 1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed muscle glycogen replenishment and rebuild muscle protein after exercise, antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage and glutamine to help reduce muscle stress.
Endurox R4 enables you to train harder and better the next day, everyday.
The R4 System is based on four core principles:
- Restore electrolytes and water.
- Replenish glycogen stores rapidly.
- Reduce muscle and oxidative stress.
- Rebuild muscle protein.
The R4 System provides simple framework for the aerobic athlete to optimize muscle performance and speed recovery.
Independent research on both products shows that they are the most effective drinks to help athletes recover faster and perform better.
