functioning of each cell.
Sustain Sport contains a proprietary electrolyte complex of calcium,
magnesium, sodium, and potassium. These four electrolytes:
• rehydrate your cells
• maximise muscle performance
• help convert carbohydrates into energy
• minimise muscle tissue breakdown
Unlike plain water, these nutrients step in to replace the electrolytes you
naturally lose during exercise and while you sweat. Store brand sport
drinks may only contain two electrolytes—Sustain Sport gives you twice as
many!
Five Electrolytes, Low Calories
Besides missing the mark with the number of electrolytes, store sports
drinks can contain large amounts of simple sugars as the major sources
of carbohydrate. These syrupy sweet mixtures lead to blood sugar spikes.
Plus, too much simple sugar draws water into the intestines and away from
the rest of your body—leaving you further dehydrated.
Sustain Sport is different because it does exactly what it says—sustains
you during exercise and training. With its exclusive blend of fructose
and dextrose, Sustain Sport helps with proper and steady rehydration and
reduced muscle fatigue—without radical blood sugar highs or lows.
Studies have looked at which particular type of carbohydrate solution
is most effective when rehydration is critical. According to researchers,
increasing a drink’s carbohydrate content increases the amount of energy
available to the muscles. Unfortunately, high carbohydrate content also
tends to decrease the rate at which water can be made available to the
body. This can prevent proper rehydration during prolonged exercise.
Studies have shown that using ingredients like fructose allows for more
carbohydrates—without a reduction in water absorption.
