The physiological requirements of before and during exercise are different than post exercise.  ATP Beverages™ has two categories of sports drinks to meet these different physiological requirements.

RAZA REAL ENDURANCE™ is formulated to meet the physiological requirements of before and during exercise. RAZA REAL ENDURANCE™ uses ingredients that produce a combined effect of moderate carbohydrate digestion and sustained blood sugar levels throughout exercise, thus delaying the onset of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar levels) and preventing muscle glycogen utilization during exercise. These carbohydrates comprise 6% of the beverage, a concentration deemed optimal for hydration. RAZA™ REAL ENDURANCE contains sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium to help maintain your body’s natural osmotic balance. A moderate amount of caffeine helps improve performance during high intensity exercise.  RAZA™ REAL ENDURANCE is formulated with antioxidants to aid the antioxidant defense systems of intense athletes whom exercise religiously.  Finally, RAZA™ is an excellent source of B vitamins which aid metabolism.

RAZA REAL RECOVERY™ and RELOAD™ are post evercise recoverydrinks. Both product categories are formulated to produce a high glycemic effect, which is important for rapid replenishment of muscle glycogen. RAZA REAL RECOVERY™ and RELOAD™ utilize rapidly digesting carbohydrates, dextrose (glucose) and maltodextrin. RELOAD™ is also formulated with a small amount of whey protein isolate to enhance insulin response after exercise. RAZA REAL RECOVERY™ and RELOAD™ promote protein synthesis and reduce muscle protein degradation after exercise and initiate the muscle tissue repair processes.
