X-celerate is a fuel designed by Nutrition X to boost energy and performance in all endurance events. We have known of the importance of carbohydrate consumption for endurance athletes for quite awhile now, however there are other nutrients that can be added to these formulae that will further boost results. Nutrition X have included a matrix blend of simple and complex carbohydrates to provide instant and sustained energy, this will help conserve muscle glycogen and improve endurance. We have added protein at a 4:1 ratio of carbohydrates : protein . This process further boosts insulin levels, increasing the energy efficiency of every gram of carbohydrate. By increasing insulin levels during exercise muscle glycogen is spared , improving endurance capacity. The amount of protein is critical. Too much protein will slow gastric emptying. Research has shown that the addition of protein to a carbohydrate drink in a 4:1 ratio provides the perfect levels required. We have also included electrolytes to keep athletes fully hydrated while exercising.
