Cytomax is the world's most scientifically advanced complex carbohydrate, electrolyte performance energy drink. It ensures proper hydration, steady energy and reduced fatigue during exercise. Benefits of using Cytomax include Cytomax's patented alpha L—polylactate which buffers lactic acid production in your muscles, reducing the "burn" during intense training and minimizing post-exercise muscle soreness. Steady energy: complex carbs stabilize blood sugar during exercise which means no sugar crash. It also aids cell protection (antioxidants prevent exercise-induced free radical damage to muscle cells) and oxygen delivery (succinates enhance oxygen delivery by up to 11% during exercise) which reduces perceived exertion and minimizes muscle damage. This product also contains electrolytes that ensure cellular nutrient balance is restored quickly after exercise. The low osmoality of this product ensures fluid reaches your muscles as quickly as water! It offers a natural herbal "lift": (in Tangy Orange, Go Grape and Peachy Keen flavors only) which reduces your perceived effort so you can push harder. For use before a workout: mix 1 to 1-1/2 scoops of Cytomax per 16 ounces of water to ensure a proper carbohydrate solution. Drink about 15 minutes before training and consistently during your workout. To ensure proper hydration, drink 32 ounces per hour of exercise. For use after a workout: drink a post-workout bottle for recovery and rehydration.
