The Advanced Carbohydrate System (ACS), which incorporates multiple carbohydrate energy sources including our proprietary, acid-buffering alpha-L-Polylactate, takes advantage of the bodys natural ability to transport and deliver different energy sources (carbohydrates) through multiple unique pathways.

CytoSport formulated their Cytomax drink with sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium for max hydration. They are a non-profit with no “skin in the game”, they just try to figure out how to make athletes better, stronger and faster.

My recovery time was amazing against earlier similar runs with significantly less muscle stress the following day. This bums me out, as I've been an avid user since 2002 or so, having used it in several XC and 24-hour races, as well as all my training rides. Maltodextrin, Crystalline Fructose, Dextrose, Alpha-L-Polylactate Blend (L-Arginine, Glycine, Lactic Acid, Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Phosphate), Natural Flavors, Citric Acid, Sodium Citrate, Less than 1% of: Malic Acid, Potassium Citrate, Silicon Dioxide (Anti-Caking Agent), Ascorbic Acid, Xanthan Gum, Dimethylpolysiloxane (Prevents Foaming), Magnesium Oxide, Calcium Phosphate, Stevia Extract, Monopotassium Phosphate, Carmine (Added for Color).I liked the sweetness of Cytomax, but I never got any benefit from Powerade or Gatorade, they both just stuck me as sugar water. For starters, I have been riding/racing for nearly 30 years and using energy drink since the 80's so this is not my first time with electrolyte replacement. For awhile I was mixing it 2:1 w/ HEED, but most recently I've just been adding plain maltodextrin to up the carb content. Stabilizes power output during intense exercise for more strength - especially towards the end of your workout.

The drink mix is loaded with vitamins and nutrients that are designed to work together to support your muscles before, during and after your event. Beats The Burn, Cytomax's patented alpha L-PolylactateTM, buffers lactic acid production in your muscles, reducing the "burn" during intense training and minimising post-exercise muscle soreness.Cytomax Protein Pure Performance Drink is a naturally complete, convenient, and essential source of lactose-free Whey Protein containing all of the Branched Chain Amino Acids (BCAA's) required in the daily diet. The old formula sometime around (mid 90's - 2010) was amazing, Tasted great, mixed easy, and digested smoothly for un-matched performance. By using both transporters you can increase the amount of carbohydrate the body can use during exercise up to approximately 300 calories/hour.
