Accelerade - Accelerade
Accelerade is a sports energy drink that many studies have shown has a decided advantage thanks to its 4:1 carbohydrate to protein ratio. It delivers the kind of hydration and sustained energy found in no other product available on the market today. We say this from experience because we have used it and competed with it. All your other measurement tools - your heart rate monitor, your GPS watch or your bike computer - are not going to make a difference if you dehydrate.
Many sports energy drinks are over loaded with sugars, virtually no others contain protein and very few contain sufficient magnesium to replace what is lost during hard training and competition. Accelerade contains all of these essential building blocks for sustained energy and recovery.
Accelerade is both used and endorsed by many world-class triathletes, marathoners and cyclists. Here are the pertinent nutritional facts for the product along with a side-by-side comparison with other energy drink products.
