Endura Optimizer is a nutrition-packed formula designed to be consumed as a pre-ride energy boost, during a ride on those really long epics or as a recovery drink after excercising for longer than 2 hours. As a recovery drink, Optimizer puts in all the vitamins, minerals, electrolytes and protein that your muscles lose during a ride. This means you will feel fresher the next day and you will be ready to ride longer and harder. Think of Optimizer as a super-food-sports-drink that contains everything your body could possibly need during excercise.
I'm healthy, I eat well and I drink lots of water - Why should I have this stuff?
If you're at all sceptical of having any kind of sports drinks and nutrition, then you share the view of many typical mountain bikers out there. As we're all about getting into the bush and bashing around mother nature, the idea of drinking anything but natural water feels a little weird. Fortunately, Endura Optimizer is made from natural products, and all it does is replace all the good stuff that your muscles consume during excercise. If you've ever felt a bit lethargic before a ride, or you wake up the next day feeling stiff and sore, or you just get that 'heavy leg' sensation about an hour into your ride, then you need to get the right nutrition into your body.
The problem that a lot of us face these days is the fact that our diet is not getting in all the right stuff in the right doses. Whether that's eating too much fat and salt or not getting enough vitamins and minerals from fresh vegetables, it's almost guaranteed that there is something you're not getting enough of or having too much of!
Endura Optimizer blends together a mix of carbohydrates, protein, vitamins, minerals and electrolytes that gives your body all of the nutrition it needs whether you ride for an hour a week or you ride an hour a day. By boosting the levels of all these key ingredients, your body will be able to function properly during excercise, allowing you to ride faster, for longer and with less fatigue.
It's not about turning into a superhuman, or putting on 70kg of muscle, it's about feeding your body properly and allowing your muscles to perform at their optimum capacity.
For the weekend warrior, Endura Optimizer is a perfect drink to have as a pre-ride nutritional boost, and/or after your ride to restore all of the lost vitamins, minerals electrolytes, and glycogen stores that you will lose during your ride.
For the endurance rider and racer, Optimizer can also be used during the ride, as an easily-digestible food source to avoid fatigue. This is ideal for 6, 12 and 24 hour enduros, or 100km marathons, as Optimizer gets all the good stuff into your body far quicker than any food can and allows you to recover much faster too.
The Perfect Recovery Formula
Endura™ Optimizer is a powdered sports supplement that contains the right balance of protein, carbohydrate and electrolytes all in one convenient formula to meet the needs of today's endurance athlete. It is a complete formula to assist with:
- Repair and maintenance of muscle tissue
- Replenishment of depleted glycogen stores
- Replacement of electrolytes
The Highest Biological Value Protein Available
The whey protein in Endura™ Optimizer is specifically hydrolysed and predigested to form a complex of di and tripeptides. Di and tripeptides are absorbed faster than non hydrolysed proteins and offer greater muscle recovery.
Balanced Blend of High Performance Carbohydrates
The carbohydrates in Endura™ Optimizer are a specially balanced blend of high performance branched-chain glucose polymers and pure crystalline fructose. These multiple energy sources are metabolised at different rates, resulting in a steady stream of nutrients being supplied to the blood stream for prolonged periods. This greatly enhances endurance and helps stabilise blood sugar levels.
Ideal Ratios of Carbs / Protein for Glycogen Restoration
Endura™ Optimizer contains carbs and protein in a 6:1 ratio. Supplementation with high quality carbohydrates and protein in a ratio of 6:1 is the most efficient way of replenishing glycogen stores, allowing the body to use the carbohydrates as a source of fuel, thus conserving muscle mass.
