Product Description
CYTOMAXMost athletes are in a constant state of improvement. Improving technique, performance and nutrition as well. Nutrition for athletes goes beyond the basic breakfast, lunch and dinner. When you’re preparing for, going through or recovering from intense endurance activity, you have to make sure you body has enough nutrition to start, get through and recovery quickly. Cytomax is a great option for in-workout and post workout nutrition. WHO WANTS ITAnyone who wants to compete more comfortably and push themselves to the limit should consider Cytomax mix as an option. Cytomax mix only gives you the electrolytes, complex carbohydrates and sodium that you are looking for to maximize performance and none of the extra sugar or fillers that would give you a temporary rush. Cytomax mixes very easily with water and comes in a variety of flavors so that you’ll never have to deal with gross clumps or worry that you’ll get sick of a flavor. WHAT YOU GET/THE SCIENCE BEHIND IT  Cytomax doesn’t contain any protein, so it’s ideal for during workout, since the complex carbohydrates will give you sustained energy.  If you’re working out hard or competing in a tough bike race, triathlon or marathon, you’re going to sweat. Depending on your body type as well as the climate conditions, you may sweat a lot. Although sweat is your body’s way of naturally ‘cooling-off’, you also lose precious electrolytes in the process. Electrolytes are, like they sound, electrically charged. These electrical impulses are necessary for muscle contraction. In addition electrolytes help prevent dehydration and muscle cramps, which can be debilitating to any endurance athlete and can also occur in any muscle!
Cytomax contains no sugar, which means that you won’t see an unnatural spike in energy followed by a crash that brings your blood sugar lower than it was before you consumed the drink. Cytomax contains 120mg of sodium or about 5% of the DV (daily value recommended). Although sodium does have a poor reputation in many foods in the United States, it is an absolutely essential nutrient when consumed in the correct amounts for endurance athletes. An inadequate amount of sodium in the blood can lead to hyponatremia, which is a low concentration of sodium in the blood. This condition can have devastating consequences such as disorientation, muscle cramps and nausea. Drinking cytomax (when mixed with water) will prevent this disastrous depletion from taking place. Cytomax also contains 22 grams of complex carbohydrates as well as 60mg of potassium, which slow down the body’s process of breaking down food into nutrients and instead give you an extended, controlled release of energy and keep your muscles contracting smoothly. Cytomax also has 50mcg of chromium, which enhance glucose utilization as well as maintaining blood sugar levels and metabolism.
Cytomax has some proprietary scientific technology that has been proven in University studies to actually help improve the comfort and performance level of athletes using it during and post competition. The ingredient is Alpha-L-Polylactate. Dr. George Brooks, Ph.D., a board member of the Cytosport company developed this ingredient.
To understand how Alpha-L-Polylactate works, you need to understand what it helps to reduce. Alpha-L-Polyactate helps to reduce lactic acid, a dreaded word and well-known word across multiple athletic disciplines. Lactic acid cycle is completely normal in a healthy, functioning body. It’s when you’re pushing yourself to the limits that glucose is eventually broken down into something called lactate (not to be mixed up with lactose!) and allows energy production to continue but slows down the rest of your body, that this becomes a problem (performance-wise). It’s sort of a self-defense mechanism that you want to try to override. So the question remains how to push this ‘lactic threshold’ out further so that you can go longer and harder in competition? This is where Alpha-L-Polylactate comes in.
Alpha-L-Polylactate is lactate but without the acid and with carbohydrates and some short chain amino acids. This ingredient helps to get energy to the cells much faster than glucose, by skipping a couple of steps normally needed when your body breaks down glucose into pyruvate and lactate. It’s already there! The lactate can get to your muscles 2-10x faster than glucose (lactate with acid removed, clustered around amino acids and carbohydrates. Alpha-L-Polylactate also acts as a buffer form the acidity, allow you to feel more comfortable while also enabling your body to receive the energy it needs much more quickly. WHEN TO USE ITCytomax doesn’t contain any protein, so it’s ideal for during workout, since the complex carbohydrates will give you sustained energy and the Alpha-L-Polylactate will buffer the lactic acid in your body and deliver the needed glucose much faster. It’s also recommended post-workout to replenish lost electrolytes and nutrients.
DirectionstopHow To Use Cytomax: Maximum endurance for cyclists and runners. Mix one packet of Cytomax and 16 oz. of water in a water bottle. Begin drinking 15-30 minutes into exercise. Drink 5 oz. every 15 minutes. After training, slowly drink another 16 oz. over the next hour to aid in recovery.
