What results can I expect with Endurox® R4®?
In studies against the leading sports drink, Endurox R4 delivered equal hydration effectiveness and was proven to:
- Enhance performance and extend endurance by 55%
- Decrease post-exercise muscle damage by 36%
- Reduce free radical build-up by 69%, thereby protecting against muscle stress and soreness
- Increase muscle glycogen replenishment by 220%
- Increase insulin levels by 70%, thereby speeding the replenishment of muscle glycogen stores and the rebuilding of protein
 Why is insulin the "master recovery hormone"?
Insulin regulates glycogen replenishment post exercise and also maintains muscle protein by both preventing breakdown and stimulating rebuilding of protein. Because Endurox R4 maximizes insulin levels, it produces a faster and stronger recovery.
 What is the importance of OR2® (Optimum Recovery Ratio)?
Although researchers have noted that protein can provide a number of essential benefits in the recovery process, too much protein can actually slow restoration of glycogen and rehydration. Endurox R4 is unique because it provides the ideal Optimum Recovery Ratio of 4:1 (4 grams of carbohydrate to one gram of protein) to deliver the benefits of protein without negatively affecting rehydration and glycogen restoration. Endurox R4 is so unique it has a patent.
 How does glutamine help in the recovery process?
Glutamine has been shown to bolster the body's defense mechanisms, a key benefit for the training athlete, as well as to reduce stress during exercise.
 What is the best way to take Endurox R4?
Take Endurox R4 within two hours after exercising. During this time your muscle cells are far more efficient in replenishing muscle glycogen stores when there is sufficient amount of carbohydrate available and insulin is stimulated. Endurox R4 provides the necessary carbohydrate and protein in the correct proportions to stimulate insulin, the body's master recovery hormone. The amount of Endurox R4 you should consume depends on your body weight. The table below offers a good guideline:

 What is the difference between ACCELERADE and Endurox R4?
ACCELERADE and Endurox R4 are based on groundbreaking research showing how nutrition can improve muscle performance and recovery. Both products contain the patented 4-1 ratio of carbohydrate to protein to speed glycogen replenishment plus antioxidants to reduce post exercise muscle.
DURING EXERCISE ACCELERADE helps you achieve optimum performance during exercise because it increases the energy efficiency of every gram of carbohydrate to extend endurance up to 24%.
FOLLOWING EXERCISE Endurox R4 speeds recovery because it contains a higher level of carbohydrate, protein, antioxidants, the amino acids, arginine and glutamine, as well as branched chain amino acids. Endurox R4 reduces muscle soreness by 36% and improves performance during the next workout up to 55%.
