Reviewing Your Requirements 2009

Q: What is the best way to stay hydrated on long runs or rides?

A: Many people who exercise regularly are likely to encounter dehydration during training and competition. Ensuring you are sufficiently hydrated is critical for your capacity to train, compete and recover successfully. For optimal hydration, water should be consumed with carbohydrate and electrolytes before, during and after exercise. Endura Rehydration Formula is the perfect formula for restoring fluids and electrolytes lost as sweat. The carbohydrate in Endura Rehydration Formula replaces lost energy and improves performance whilst sodium promotes active water absorption and the magnesium may prevent muscle cramps and weakness.

Endura Rehydration Formula

  • A scientifically advanced rehydration drink that is designed to replace glycogen and electrolytes to aid in faster rehydration.
  • Includes patented magnesium, Meta Mag™, to help relieve muscular aches, prevent cramping and improve stamina.

Q: Can I speed up my recovery time?

A: Your ability to recover between training sessions is vital to give you that competitive edge. Recovery has been divided into what is known as the “4R System”, which summarises the key components of optimal recovery:

  1. Restore electrolytes,
  2. Replenish glycogen,
  3. Reduce muscle stress and
  4. Rebuild muscle protein.

The ideal products to help with the 4Rs of recovery are Endura Optimizer and Endura Creatine Plus.

Endura Optimizer

  • Delivers nutrients essential in all four stages of recovery - your first choice for faster recovery and to keep training at maximal capacity no matter what your sport.
    • Contains hydrolysed lactalbumin (also known as whey protein isolate) – a specific whey protein extract that has been pre-digested to form a complex of di- and tri-peptides for rapid absorption; the highest biological value protein available. Also includes easy-to-digest carbohydrates to enhance glycogen synthesis.
  • Contains glutamine, a conditionally essential amino acid needed to prevent muscle breakdown and to facilitate muscle growth. Glutamine is also important for immune function and ensuring optimal recovery.

Endura Creatine Plus

  • Supplementation with creatine monophosphate increases endogenous creatine phosphate levels, which facilitates the body’s synthesis of muscle proteins.
  • Contains HMB, an anticatabolic nutritional factor that may help reduce the risk of exercise-induced muscle damage.
  • Perfect for those wanting to increase lean muscle growth, endurance and strength.

Q: What supplements would you recommend...?

A: Insufficient stamina can decrease your performance by affecting muscle action and mental alertness, causing you to slow down and make technical errors. There are several Endura formulas that may help improve your stamina.

Endura Max - Before and after training and competition.

  • Delivers high doses of magnesium, taurine and B vitamins to ensure the body has the necessary building blocks for optimal stamina.
  • Magnesium has been proven to increase physical performance in athletes. Magnesium is a vital nutrient that is involved in many important processes, including energy production.

  • Endura N-Acetyl Carnitine provides your body with nutrients necessary to help increase your stamina.

Q: What are the best supplements to assist with building muscle?

A: Specific nutrients play key roles in the development of muscle. Supplementing with these nutrients will help muscle repair and growth and will also help to prevent muscle breakdown. This will allow for more intense training, which will influence muscle growth.
