Makes Your Hard Work Easier
Up until the late 1990’s, carbohydrate was considered the only nutrient necessary to fuel athletes during exercise. At this time, researchers at PacificHealth Laboratories collaborated with researchers from the University of Texas and James Madison and St. Cloud Universities to determine whether the addition of protein to a carbohydrate sports drink would improve exercise performance. The results were startling. When carbohydrate and protein were combined in a 4:1 ratio, results showed a consistent superiority over carbohydrate-only sports drinks. This research laid the foundation for the development of Accelerade and Accelerade Hydro.
Accelerade Advanced Sports Drink
Accelerade demolished the conventional dogma regarding the importance of protein during refueling. Ten peer-reviewed studies have shown the superiority of Accelerade compared to a conventional carbohydrate-only sports drink in increasing endurance, decreasing muscle damage, increasing rehydration and speeding muscle recovery.
Accelerade Hydro
Accelerade Hydro is ideal for less intensive workout. It contains the patented 4:1 ratio of carbs and protein and has less sugar and calories than conventional sports drinks.
