Accelerade Sports Drink

Accelerade Sports Drink description

ACCELERADE Sports Drink maximizes the energy dynamic during exercise to improve performance and speed up recovery. Like conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE supplies the carbohydrates and electrolytes necessary for rehydrating and replenishing spent muscles. Unlike conventional sports drinks, ACCELERADE contains a patented 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein. This speeds the movement of carefully balanced simple and complex carbohydrates into your muscles for rapid and sustained energy. ACCELERADE also contains essential antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage. Keep this 30-serving canister nearby and mix up some sports drink when you want to train longer and harder without feeling as sore afterwards.

Been drinking Accelerade for a couple of years now, after having various other sport drinks discontinued. My personal favorite flavor is the fruit punch, though orange is not bad. Have not tried the other flavors. I like the fact that Accelerade has a little protein in it, which seems to temper the sugar buzz a bit. In the winter I use it for cross-country skiing. To keep my Camelback from freezing, I load it into the Camelback hot. It tastes fine that way. Warning: heat the water, THEN mix it. If you mix it and then heat the mixture in a microwave, it foams like crazy.

I've used Accelerade while running, cycling, and backpacking. It is simply the best on the market. Simply put you recover faster and feel better while exercising. It tastes good, mixes well, and is easy on the stomach. It maintains sugar levels throughout the activity and the protein aids in muscle recovery. After a 4 or 5 hour bike ride or after a marathon I drink one bottle and just feel better. Like with any sport drink, make sure you wash out your container after your done. It seems like Accelerade "molds" up the bottles quicker than other sports drink. If you want to stay hydrated while doing your extreme sport this is the stuff for you!

Picked this up when heading up the trail one day to see if this was any better than Powerade or Gatorade. This really does hydrate you, as I did not even touch my water till I got to the top of the mountain. Highly recommended if you are looking for long term hydration!
