Rapid Fueling & Recovery for High Intensity or Long Duration Endurance Training  

• 33 g Fast-Acting Carbohydrates to rapidly replenish depleted glycogen energy reserves in muscle.
• 11 g of Complete Protein isolated from dairy. An ideal serving ratio of protein-to-carbs for accelerated glycogen synthesis and muscle recovery.
• 1000+ mg Electrolytes to support hydration, and muscle recovery.
• 100 mg Active Recovery Bio-Nutrients. Fortified with Epicatechin, an endurance-friendly plant bio-nutrient from Green Tea. Supports muscle resilience, recovery and aids adaptations to endurance exercise that increase stamina and strength.
• WADA and USADA compliant. All inventory is lab-tested for quality. We do not incorporate any banned substances under World and US Anti-doping guidelines.
• Use Within 30 Minutes Pre or Post Workout for best results

How does Freak Shake Endurance Work?

High Carbohydrates:  Aerobic conditioning requires a lot of carbs. We can only store enough glycogen energy reserves to fuel about an hour of moderate to intense aerobic output and then we require carbohydrates to replace those depleted reserves. High carb fueling and replenishment is a key factor in sustaining effort and recovering post-workout.

1000+ mg Electrolytes:  Freak Shake contains more than 3 times the electrolytes found in leading sports drinks. Our electrolyte blend mimics the electrolyte composition of dairy milk which has the highest researched beverage hydration index in published peer-reviewed data. Using clinical measures of cellular fluid retention, dairy performs better than water or traditional sports drinks, and has an equivalent hydration index to medical oral rehydration solutions. When nature provides a hydration blueprint this good, just follow it!  

The Right Amount of Complete Protein for Endurance athletes:  High quality protein plays two parts in replenishing us. A modest amount of protein consumed with a high amount of carbs works synergistically to accelerate glycogen synthesis after endurance exercise (about 1g of protein for every 3 to 4g of carbs is optimal). And the protein in Freak Shake supplies essential amino acids needed to help repair & grow new muscle after strenuous exercise.

Freak Shake uses dairy protein isolates in a ratio of 20% Whey and 80% Casein. Both are high quality complete proteins providing all 9 essential amino acids. Whey protein is the most rapidly absorbable protein known, and Casein benefits from being slower digesting but more completely absorbed. Together, they offer rapid then consistent availability that maximizes absorption and minimizes digestive discomfort.

Supplemented for Endurance:  Our active plant bio-nutrients help tune your endurance engine at the cellular level. We incorporate Epicatechin, a micronutrient present in hundreds of healthy plants and fruits (ours comes from Green Tea). Studies show that it assists multiple processes linked to muscle resilience and recovery. Studies also show that it promotes metabolic adaptations to exercise benefiting VO2Max and Endurance including:

• Promoting Nitric Oxide production and blood flow which aids in the delivery of oxygen, energy and hydration resources to depleted muscles during exercise and recovery.
• Antioxidant & Immuno-nutrative properties that assist the body's response to exercise induced stress during long or strenuous exercise.
• Adaptogenic effects in muscle cell mitochondria linking to strength & stamina, aerobic metabolism, and VO2 Max.
