1ST ENDURANCE ULTRAGEN RECOVERY SERIES DRINK MIX
Credentials:
"If I was stuck on a desert island with only two items to train
with, they'd be my bike and Ultragen." Levi Leipheimer
Product Overview:
For endurance athletes, it�s crucial to focus on recovery in order to
be competitive the day after a hard workout or race. That�s why the
scientists and athletes at First Endurance developed Ultragen, the most advanced post-recovery
formulation ever produced. Each serving of Ultragen delivers the levels
of nutrients that have been shown in clinical research to maximize
recovery and give you an extra edge over the competition. Ultragen�s
breakthrough technology is designed to work synergistically in order to
fully maximize recovery, providing the right nutrients to the right
place at the right time.
Research has shown there�s a critical thirty-minute glycogen window
(called the �window of opportunity�) immediately following exercise
when insulin sensitivity is at its highest and exhausted muscles
essentially open the door to nutrients. If nutrients are not absorbed
quickly enough, however, this opportunity for maximum restoration is
lost. But it�s not just when nutrients are absorbed, it�s also about
which nutrients are available. The body requires more than just sugar
and protein to fully recover, so recovery is limited without a precise
balance of nutrients. Ultragen delivers 60g of glucose, because
clinical studies show that high glycemic carbohydrates taken after
exercise create a catalyst, which increases the uptake of essential
nutrients into exhausted muscle. In addition, Ultragen offers a
synergistic blend of vitamins, minerals, co-factors, glutamine and
BCAA�s specifically designed to modulate the damaging effects of
cortisol brought on by intense endurance training. The Ultragen formula
is designed to be fully absorbed within the essential thirty minute
glocygen window, when the body is primed to absorb nutrients. Ultragen contains special proteins (Whey Protein Isolate
and Hydrolyzed Whey Protein) that meet the unique requirements of
endurance athletes. Fast acting Whey Protein Isolate delivers high
levels of anti-catabolic branch chain amino acids. Hydrolyzed Protein
is enzymatically predigested in small, easy to digest, di- and
tri-peptide chains that are quickly absorbed for muscular recovery.
This is important because small molecule proteins are superior to the
larger, hard to digest Whey Protein Concentrates that are used in most
recovery products. The special proteins in Ultragen are absorbed faster
and easier assuring you maximize recovery during the critical
thirty-minute glycogen �window of opportunity�. The result: quicker
recovery, improved endurance and the ability to race at a higher level. Additional Information:
Ultragen is designed to be absorbed quickly. For maximum recovery, mix
Ultragen with water and consume immediately after exercise. Mixing
Ultragen with anything besides water and/or consuming other foods
during the first thirty minutes after exercise will slow down
absorption. Thirty minutes after using Ultragen you should drink and/or
eat something else.
Test Review:
