Accelerade Electrolyte - Rapid Hydration Information
Accelerade is the only sports drink that contains carbohydrate and protein in a patented 4:1 ratio, unmatched in its ability to help athletes perform better and recover faster.
The type of fuel that is used by the muscles for energy during endurance exercise is dependent on numerous factors such as exercise intensity, diet composition, duration, and training. For example, during low to moderate intensity, the muscles rely primarily on fat for energy. As exercise intensity increases, there is a shift to an increased reliance on carbohydrates. The use of protein by exercising muscle also increases as exercise intensity increases.
The most important function of a sports drink is to rehydrate however, a drained body also needs to restore energy and electrolytes. That's why so many athletes choose carbohydrate and electrolyte-rich sports drinks instead of water. Sodium is the primary electrolyte lost in sweat followed by potassium. That's why both are included in sports drinks. They also promote fluid retention. The addition of carbohydrates can delay fatigue during prolonged exercise and improve performance. Accelerade Electrolyte includes just the right ratio of protein to facilitate rehydration by optimising the absorption of fluid.
Accelerade contains both carbohydrates and protein which enter the bodys' circulation through different pathways, bringing sodium and water with them, thus the added protein increases hydration as this is an additional way for sodium and water to enter the circulation.
