Accelerade®, with its patented 4:1 ratio of carbs and protein, represents a dramatic departure from conventional carb-only sports drinks. Accelerade also demolishes the conventional dogma regarding the importance of protein to help fuel muscle cells and improve rehydration, the two essential criteria for a sports drink. More than 10 peer-reviewed studies have shown that, compared to a conventional carbohydrate electrolyte sports drink, Accelerade:

     · Increases endurance by 29%
     · Decreases muscle damage by 83%
     · Increases rehydration by 15% (and 40% more than water)
     · Increases endurance in a subsequent workout by 40%
