Endurox R4 - Following Exercise Endurox R4 Performance/Recovery Drink was developed by leading exercise physiologists and based on landmark research redefining how the exercising muscle recovers. Endurox R4 contains the patented 4 to1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed muscle glycogen replenishment and rebuild muscle protein after exercise, antioxidants to reduce post-exercise muscle damage and glutamine to help reduce muscle stress. In clinical studies against the leading sports drink was proven to enhance performance and extend endurance by 55% in a subsequent workout and decrease post-exercise muscle damage by 36%. Endurox R4 enables you to train harder and better the next day and everyday. Product Profile The introduction of Endurox R4 Performance/Recovery Drink begins a new chapter in how nutrition can enhance aerobic performance. In l997, leading exercise physiologists met in Colorado Springs, Colorado and developed a new model built on leading edge research that explains how the interaction of key physiological and nutritional factors enable muscles to operate at peak performance. Endurox R4 is a technologically advanced sports drink based on this new model. In three clinical trials the researchers found, compared to Gatorade, Endurox R4: - Enhanced performance and extended endurance by 55%
- Reduced free radical buildup by 69%
- Increased muscle glycogen replenishment by 220%
- Reduced post exercise muscle damage by 36%
The patented Endurox R4 formula includes electrolytes, high glycemic carbohydrates and whey protein in a 4:1 ratio (Optimal Recovery Ratio), arginine, antioxidant vitamins E and C, glutamine, branched chain amino acids and the natural herb, ciwujia. Endurox R4 is a total nutritional approach to muscle performance and recovery because it is specifically designed to: - Restore electrolytes and water.
- Replenish glycogen stores rapidly.
- Reduce muscle and oxidative stress.
- Rebuild muscle protein.
The results of the clinical trials provide powerful support that Endurox R4, by improving muscle performance and enhancing recovery, should be the product of choice for any athlete engaged in aerobic activities such as running, biking or swimming or team sports such as basketball, football or soccer. The R4 System The R4 System is an important milestone in our understanding of exercise physiology and is the basis of a new book, Optimal Muscle Recovery by Dr. Edmund Burke (Avery Publishing). Based on leading edge science, the R4 System establishes a new model that explains how the interaction of key physiological and nutritional factors enable muscles to operate at peak levels. Equally important, the R4 System establishes four simple, practical principles that every aerobic athlete can incorporate into his/her daily training to optimize recovery and achieve full muscle potential. To understand why the R4 System represents a major breakthrough, one must look at research in exercise physiology conducted over the last 30 years. The first important milestone was the finding in the late 60's that showed that fluid and electrolyte replenishment plays an essential role in muscle performance before, during and after exercise. The second milestone, in the 70's, defined the role carbohydrate supplementation plays in extending endurance and speeding recovery. These studies led to the technique of carbohydrate loading. In the 90's research conducted at leading universities has significantly advanced our understanding of muscle physiology and has identified additional factors that influence muscle performance. This research has shown that: - Insulin stimulates the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores and prevents protein breakdown
- Insulin is so essential in the post exercise recovery process that it can be termed the "master recovery hormone"
- Protein and specific amino acids can enhance the insulin response thereby speeding muscle recovery
- Free radicals buildup (oxidative stress) is an important component of exercise induced muscle damage
- Anti-oxidants, amino acids and certain natural supplements can help reduce muscle damage and prevent oxidative and muscle stress
These scientific findings coupled with previous research on hydration and carbohydrate utilization has led to a new model of exercise physiology - the R4 System. The R4 System is based on four core principles: - Restore electrolytes and water.
- Replenish glycogen stores rapidly.
- Reduce muscle and oxidative stress.
- Rebuild muscle protein.
The R4 System provides simple framework for the aerobic athlete to optimize muscle performance and speed recovery. How the R4 System Enhances Aerobic Performance By understanding the science behind the four principles of the R4 System and how they interrelate, the aerobic athlete can make enormous strides in improving individual performance. What results can I expect with Endurox R4?
In studies against the leading sports drink, Endurox R4 delivered equal hydration effectiveness and was proven to: - Enhance performance and extend endurance by 55%
- Decrease post-exercise muscle damage by 36%
- Reduce free radical build-up by 69%, thereby protecting against muscle stress and soreness
- Increase muscle glycogen replenishment by 220%
- Increase insulin levels by 70%, thereby speeding the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores and the rebuilding of protein
Why is insulin the "master recovery hormone"?
Insulin regulates glycogen replenishment post exercise and also maintains muscle protein by both preventing breakdown and stimulating rebuilding of protein. Because Endurox R4 maximizes insulin levels, it produces a faster and stronger recovery. What is the importance of OR2 (Optimum Recovery Ratio)?
Although researchers have noted that protein can provide a number of essential benefits in the recovery process, too much protein can actually slow restoration of glycogen and rehydration. Endurox R4 is unique because it provides the ideal Optimum Recovery Ratio of 4:1 (4 grams of carbohydrate to one gram of protein) to deliver the benefits of protein without negatively affecting rehydration and glycogen restoration. Endurox R4 is so unique it has a patent. How does ciwujia and glutamine help in the recovery process?
Standardized extract of ciwujia (Endurox) and glutamine have been shown to bolster the body's defense mechanisms, a key benefit for the training athlete, as well as to reduce stress during exercise. Serving Size: 2 Scoops (75 grams)
