ACCELERADE
Sports
Drink From The Makers of Endurox® R4™
Is The First Sports Drink Available To Athletes
That Shifts The Energy Dynamics During Exercise To Improve Performance
When PacificHealth Laboratories (PHLI) introduced the Endurox®
R4™ Performance/Recovery Drink in May 1999, it revolutionized the
way athletes, coaches and exercise physiologists thought about the critical role
nutrition could play in the muscle recovery process following exercise.
Now, PHLI is on the verge of another breakthrough with the June 2001
launch of ACCELERADEâ,
the first sports drink that shifts the energy dynamics during exercise to
improve performance.
“ACCELERADE is the most important innovation in sports drinks
used during exercise since carbohydrate was added to water,” said Dr. Edmund
Burke, noted author and professor of Exercise Physiology, University of Colorado
at Colorado Springs. “It is the
ideal product for professional, serious or even weekend warrior athletes. ACCLERADE
will help athletes perform better by shifting the energy dynamic during exercise
to provide greater endurance, and its antioxidant profile will lessen post
exercise muscle soreness because it reduces free radical formation.”
Like
conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE
supplies the necessary carbohydrates and electrolytes for rehydrating and
replenishing muscle reserves. But
unlike conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE
incorporates the patented technology found in Endurox R4.
ACCELERADE
has the same 4-1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed the movement of
carbohydrate from the blood into the muscle during exercise.
By increasing the energy efficiency of every gram of carbohydrate an
athlete consumes, ACCELERADE spares
muscle glycogen and improves endurance capacity. In clinical trials, subjects
taking ACCELERADE increased endurance
performance by 24%, compared to subjects drinking a conventional sports drink
containing the same amount of carbohydrate.
ACCELERADE contains essential antioxidants to reduce post exercise muscle damage caused by free radical build up. ACCELERADE allows athletes to train longer and harder and feel less sore afterwards.
ACCELERADE
comes as a ready-to-mix powder in two flavors, orange and lemon-lime.
It will be sold in 2.2 lb. canisters, containing 28 servings with a
suggested retail price of $23.95. The
Company has entered into an agreement with Performance Bike, the largest bicycle
retailer and RoadRunner Sports, the largest runner retailer, to launch the
product on an exclusive basis. Performance
Bike and RoadRunner Sports will feature ACCELERADE
on their websites (www.performancebike.com
and www.roadrunnersports.com),
catalogs and retail locations.
