10 reasons why you should use Cytomax exercise and recovery drink instead of water during workouts
While water is nature's perfect fluid replacement and always will be, your needs during exercise include more than just water. You need to ensure an ideal balance of fluid, nutrients, and electrolytes in every cell of your body.
When you drink 32 ounces of Cytomax for each hour that you exercise, you will be able to push your body harder without depleting your reserves and becoming exhausted at the end. This is due to enhanced oxygen carrying capacity, lower blood lactate levels, and stabilized blood sugar levels.
In the hours after workouts, instead of feeling lingering fatigue, you will feel refreshed and replenished - even after highly intense sessions. Cellular balance will be restored quickly when you deliver the nutrients and performance ingredients your body needs during exercise with Cytomax.
Some "energy" drinks can be worse than water for hydration. Many commercial drinks are too high in sugar, causing digestive distress and slowing gastric emptying time. These factors can actually lead to dehydration.
Cytomax contains numerous ingredients designed specifically to improve athletic performance and recovery, generating the following list of reasons why Cytomax will help you perform better and recover faster.
1. Hydrates as effectively as plain water
Research shows that an energy drink mixed at a 7% carbohydrate solution has the same gastric emptying rate as plain water. Following the mixing instructions for Cytomax powder or drinking the convenient ready-to-drink Cytomax will hydrate you optimally with a 7% carbohydrate solution.
2. alpha L-Polylactate™ reduces muscle fatigue
Cytomax is known as the world's most scientifically advanced exercise and recovery drink because of its patented alpha L-Polylactate (lactate with the acid removed), a designer-engineered carbohydrate molecule that has proven conclusively in University studies to help buffer lactic acid production in exercising muscles. alpha L-Polylactate helps you Beat The Burn™ by accelerating the process of converting lactic acid back into glucose to be used as energy, preventing the painful burning sensation that occurs with high intensity exercise and protecting against muscle tissue breakdown in the hours after exercise.
3. Complex carbohydrates provide sustained energy
Cytomax utilizes a blend of complex and simple carbs for its calorie sources. Maltodextrin, amylopectin starches and other long chain carbohydrate molecules provide sustained energy to balance simple carbohydrate energy sources. Most commercial energy drinks derive all of their calories from simple carbohydrates, resulting in blood sugar swings and digestive difficulties.
Efficient, steady delivery of caloric energy to working muscles helps prevent bonking (depletion of blood sugar that results in dramatic fatigue) and reduces gluconeogenesis during exercise (breaking down muscle tissue for energy).
4. Succinates enhance oxygen carrying capacity
The succinates in Cytomax have been measured to improve oxygen consumption by 11% while exercising at the same intensity. When your muscles have more oxygen, you perform better and preserve tissue from damage caused by lack of oxygen during intense workouts.
5. Antioxidants prevent free radical damage
Ingesting antioxidants (contained in Cytomax's Tangy Orange flavored powder) during exercise, a time when free radical production is high, will reduce the overall stress of workouts and speed recovery.
6. Electrolytes prevent cramping and restore cellular balance
The electrolytes (sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium and others), along with the vitamins and minerals found in Cytomax are combined in ideal amounts and ratios to prevent cramping and restore cellular balance quickly after exercise.
7, 8, 9 & 10. While you bring home another top-6 race finish, these are the places your competitors will finish when they drink water while you replace fluids and replenish energy at the same time with CYTOMAX!
