Shaklee Sports Nutrition, Shaklee Sports Drink

June 19, 2010 - PRLog -- You Don’t Have to Be an Elite Athlete to Enjoy the Benefits of Shaklee Sports Nutrition Products

Summer is synonymous with outdoor activities – running, cycling, swimming, tennis, baseball, volleyball, soccer and more.  All require stamina, strength and endurance. And whether you are an elite world class athlete or a weekend warrior, proper nutrition and preparation beforehand, rehydration before and during events, and recovery afterwards are all important.

In 1980, Shaklee Corporation became the official nutrition consultant to the U.S. Ski Team, where it engaged in comprehensive analysis of the diets of elite athletes, developing and testing products to support and help make landmark expeditions and record-breaking achievements possible.  This research translated into sport-specific dietary recommendations and the development of high performance nutritional sports products – Shaklee Performance® Maximum Endurance Sports Drink and Shaklee Physique® Workout Maximizer Supplement.

Shaklee Performance® Maximum Endurance Sports Drink

Superior performance with Shaklee sports products is defined by the Shaklee Difference in Shaklee Performance and Shaklee Physique - developed through clinical testing at leading research institutions including the University of Texas at Austin, Yale, Stanford University/VA Medical Center, and NASA Ames.

Shaklee Performance is the perfect sports drink to help maintain optimal hydration and body fluid balance during physical competition. A well-designed sports drink that offers a finely tuned mixture of electrolytes, Performance encourages rehydration by balancing thirst with fluid needs. It also provides a research proven concentration of carbohydrates, which your body uses as muscle fuel, without decreasing fluid absorption.  Shaklee Performance was designed with all of these needs in mind, without the addition of any artificial flavors, sweeteners or added preservatives.

The Shaklee Difference:

OptiCarb®
OptiCarb is a patented Shaklee combination of carbohydrates, including glucose, fructose and maltodextrin.  Glucose and fructose are simple carbohydrates for quick absorption.  Maltodextrin is a more complex carbohydrate designed to prolong absorption to help sustain energy and endurance.  The unique OptiCarb and electrolyte formulation in Shaklee Performance is designed to give a high level of carbohydrate energy without gastrointestinal distress.

Performance provides the carbohydrate energy the body needs for maximum endurance, as well as fluids and a unique balance of electrolytes to help prevent dehydration.  In clinical testing, Performance helped maintain athletes’ blood glucose levels for muscle energy and fluid levels for proper hydration.

Daedalus Project (1988)
Shaklee Performance was designed under the guidance of Dr. Ethan Nadel of Yale University to fuel a record-setting pedal-powered flight of a man-made airplane - the Daedalus Project, a 72 mile human powered flight between the Greek islands of Crete and Santorini.  Kanellos Kanopoulos had only one fuel during his record-breaking flight: Performance, the maximum endurance sports drink developed by Shaklee.

Electrolytes
Shaklee Performance has a unique balance of five electrolytes designed to help optimize the maintenance of body fluids, including potassium 50 mg, calcium 40 mg, sodium 115 mg, phosphorus 20 mg, chloride 45 mg, magnesium 5 mg per serving. Electrolytes are essential for maintenance of body fluids, nerve and muscle function and other important body functions to fuel physical activity.

   *

     Sucrose – the first ingredient found in many sports drinks
   *

     Artificial flavors, sweeteners or added preservatives
   * Stimulants – such as caffeine
