If You Think All Sports Gels Are the Same - Think Again
Sports gels are like sports drinks minus the water. They provide fast-absorbing carbohydrates for quick energy during exercise plus sodium and other minerals to replace the minerals you lose in sweat. Using sports gels with water during exercise gives you the same benefits as a sports drink: better hydration, more energy, and a higher level of performance than you get from water alone.
Accel Gel is the only sports get that contains protein. Accel Gel contains the same, patented 4:1 ratio of carbohydrate and protein as Accelerade sports drink, which has been proven in scientific studies to hydrate, increase endurance, reduce muscle damage, and promote recovery more effectively than conventional sports drinks such as Gatorade.
Protein-enhanced Accel Gel has demonstrated similar benefits compared to conventional sports gels. In a study presented at the International Society of Sport Nutrition, investigators from James Madison University compared a conventional carbohydrate energy gel (GU®) to Accel Gel. In a stationary bike ride to exhaustion, athletes were able to ride 13% longer when using Accel Gel.
The message is clear. Using protein-powered Accel Gel during your workout instead of a conventional gel will provide you with optimal energy plus greater endurance performance.
We know that taste is as important as performance. Accel Gel comes in three great-tasting flavors: chocolate, strawberry kiwi and vanilla. So if you're looking for a gel that will deliver on both taste and performance, make Accel Gel a part of your daily workout.
