Accelerade Sports Drink 60 Servings 4.11 lbs-  All Natural Accelerade Sports Drink contains the 4:1 carb to protein ratio, which helps athletes perform better and recover faster.

Accelerade still contains its patented ratio, but now includes both whey and soy protein which enhances the overall effectiveness of our protein-powered sports drink.

WHAT ACCELERADE DOES FOR YOU:

Want to know a little secret? Many top athletes will secretly fill their bottles with Accelerade—even if they’re sponsored by another company. It’s true. Professional athletes must perform to put food on the table. And, if it works for them, it will really work for you. How well, you ask? Why waste money on glorified sugar water. Compared to a conventional sports drink, Accelerade:

• You will have 29% more endurance.

• You will rehydrate 40% better.

• Your muscles will recover 40% faster.

• You will lower your perceived exertion. (In other words, you rock harder with less effort)
 

The Science Behind Accelerade
Accelerade represents a dramatic departure from conventional carbohydrate-only drinks that have dominated sports nutrition since the 1960’s. Accelerade demolished the myth that protein does not fuel muscle cells and hinders rehydration. In a landmark study, researchers at James Madison University demonstrated in cyclists that Accelerade, compared to a conventional sports drink, increased endurance by 29%, decreased muscle damage by 83% and even increased endurance in a subsequent workout performed almost 24 hours later by 40%.

In another study, researchers showed Accelerade actually increased rehydration by 29% compared to a conventional sports drink. The reason being is Accelerade, with its combination of three rapid-acting carbohydrates plus protein, activates multiple sodium transport systems. The net result is improved rehydration. 

Recently, much attention has been devoted to the role the brain plays in fatigue. It is now well accepted that during exercise fatigue signals emanating in the brain can reduce endurance. The high levels of branched-chain amino acids in Accelerade can inhibit the release of brain fatigue signals. In fact, research has shown that athletes consuming Accelerade had a lower level of perceived exertion and, at the same level of exercise intensity, did not experience as much strain. In other words, athletes were able to work harder, easier.
