Twinlab Announces New Endurance Fuel
Grand Rapids, MI - Twinlab is proud to announce the launch of Endurance Fuel - the Ultimate Pre, During and Post Race sports nutrition supplement.
Twinlab Endurance Fuel is a serious, multi-stage powdered beverage that anticipates an athlete's needs before, during and after a race.
"We started by asking ourselves what the body of an athlete really needs as it moves through phases of intense exercise – how could we help provide the right nutrition that an endurance athlete needs at the beginning, middle and end of a race to help him or her perform better and recover faster," said Dr. Stacey Bell, Senior Research Scientist. "Carrying supplements around and taking them at different times just isn't practical, so we formulated one product for all stages: Twinlab Endurance Fuel. We used antioxidants to protect muscles, and timed-release carbohydrates for continuous energy. Electrolytes were added to replenish and aid in proper hydration, and beta alanine was included to help improve endurance. Even the proteins are ‘staged' with fast-absorbing whey to support muscles during activity and followed by slower absorbing casein to aid in muscle recovery."
Designed for the serious endurance athlete, Endurance Fuel has no fat or artificial colors and contains clinically-tested ingredients in three distinct complexes:
Stage One: Drinking Endurance Fuel before training prepares your body with the hydration it needs and floods the system with Defense Complex, a fusion of clinically-tested antioxidants, which helps protect muscles during exercise.
Stage Two: Designed to power the athlete through even the most intense training, our Endurance Blend contains several components. A four-stage carbohydrate mixture releases energy gradually over time, increasing endurance and stamina beyond simple carb drinks. Electrolytes help replenish essential nutrients lost through perspiration. Beta alanine, "the endurance ingredient," was also added as it has been clinically proven to raise the anaerobic threshold in endurance athletes, helping them work longer, faster and harder in less time.
Stage Three: Post-exercise recovery is addressed with the inclusion of a specially-designed Recovery Matrix. "Rapid recuperation is extremely important to elite athletes who are training regularly," remarked Dr. Bell. "Since exercise produces stress, which leads to protein loss in muscle, we used a two-phased solution: whey, to reduce protein lost during exercise, and casein, a protein which is absorbed over a couple of hours, to readily restore and grow resting muscle when exercise is finished." These proteins were added at a 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio that studies indicate results in improved performance. The end result is improved athletic performance, enhanced endurance and a faster muscle recovery.
