Hydration:
An endurance athlete's #1 concern should be hydration. Performance declines with as little as 2-3% dehydration, not to mention the more serious overall health risks beyond that level.
After hard training or racing, you could be moderately dehydrated. Start your recovery with a beverage. By re-hydrating right after activity, your body will come back to life much faster than if you remain dehydrated. Mix CLIF SHOT® Recovery with water, so that you not only take in needed nutrients, but also the most vital of all – water!
Carbohydrates:
The longer and harder you go, the more carbohydrate you burn. If you do not replace this carbohydrate on a regular basis, then your stores may become chronically low. Post-activity, there is a 30-minute window of opportunity for maximum up-take of carbohydrate by your muscles. As soon as you complete your activity, reach for CLIF SHOT® Recovery.
Electrolytes:
Mineral salts such as sodium chloride, potassium, magnesium, and calcium are known collectively as electrolytes. These electrolytes allow electrical impulses to travel properly throughout your body, permitting normal bodily function. When you sweat, you start to deplete your electrolyte stores.
Similar to dehydration, electrolyte depletion will first lead to performance declines and then onto more serious health issues. CLIF SHOT ® Recovery provides you with ample amounts of sodium, potassium, magnesium, and calcium to counteract the losses in your sweat.
