Peak Endurance for Recovery

Study after study has come out denouncing the benefits of over-the-counter, store-bought sports and energy drinks that mainly target inactive teenagers and youngsters with their marketing. The biggest complaints are that these drinks contain too much sugar, caffeine, have an overabundance of sodium and not enough healthy stuff.  My theory is that there is some degree of willful ignorance when consuming these products.  For instance: “Oh. It’s a sports drink. It can’t be anything but healthy. I will not read the label.”

That’s where Peak Endurance differs. Peak Endurance was developed with performance in mind. Instead of containing a ton of sugar. It has only one gram per serving, enough necessary to deliver its full compliment of electrolytes, B-vitamins, oral ATP and vitamin C. But we’ve discussed why Peak Endurance is better than all the other “sports” drinks on the market. Let’s take the time to get into specifics on how Peak Endurance helps athletes and heavy exercisers recover.

1. Electrolyte Replenishment 

An electrolyte is a substance that helps electricity move through the body, and they are found in every cell: Sodium, potassium, calcium, magnesium, phosphate and chloride.  When you pump iron, go for a run or do any sort of strenuous activity, you will sweat. Sweating leads to an imbalance of electrolytes which can snowball into cramps, nausea and fatigue. Severe, long-term electrolyte imbalance can lead to kidney failure, irregular heart beat and seizures.

2. ATP

Adenosine triphosphate is the cellular currency of energy.  In order to exercise, your body needs to produce ATP. If it cannot, you are done exercising. Cells can store excess ATP, so replenishing your ATP levels after exercise will keep the proverbial “barn” stocked. Also, it plays a huge role in anabolic signaling for muscle recovery and repair.

3. Vitamin C 

Vitamin C is essential to muscle growth. It is thought to keep your cortisol levels in check. Although the body needs cortisol, too much can increase appetite and interfere with amino acids and hormones essential for building muscle. Additionally, a lack of vitamin C reduces the amount of collagen the body makes, and you need collagen because it helps to repair muscles and maintain lean muscle mass.

4. B-Vitamins 

All B vitamins help the body by breaking down fat and carbs for energy. The also assist the body in metabolizing fats and protein, and protein, I hear, is great for building muscle.
