Cytomax Lite LGI:
Low-Glycemic Indexed to help regulate blood glucose and reduce insulin
spiking to keep strength at peak levels longer so you can compete and
train harder. In 1988, Cytomax re-defined modern energy drinks for
athletes by combining amylopectin starches for sustained complex
carbohydrate energy with our patented Alpha-L-Polylactate to help
replenish fluid, electrolytes and stimulate the body's own glucose
production while simultaneously buffering the effects of acids produced
during exercise. Cytomax is used by elite athletes world wide, who have
set world records, and won Olympic Gold Metals. From Cy Young award
winners to Tour de France victors, Cytomax has been their choice. Now
Cytomax Lite LGI is available for anyone - from weekend warriors to
elite athletes to anyone interested in managing their energy
requirements. The Problem - Some of our favorite and otherwise healthy
carbohydrate rich foods such as potatoes, carrots, whole wheat bread,
white rice, green peas, bananas and cornflakes, not to mention most
energy bars and sports drinks, contain various carbohydrate structures
that convert rapidly to glucose. By calculation, a baked potato
elevates blood glucose levels almost four (4) times higher than a
comparable amount of Cytomax Lite LGI! This glucose is absorbed
relatively quickly into the portal blood stream resulting in a
tremendous release of insulin. Too much of this insulin escapes into
systemic circulation and over time, causes a continuous fall in blood
glucose (well below normal). You feel weak and tired and you've hit the
wall, bonked or gone hypo. This is no way to train or compete. The
Solution - If you exercise strenuously (65% of maximum capacity) for a
prolonged period (60 to 90 minutes or longer), Cytomax Lite LGI
provides an ideal carbohydrate/lactate blend, which insures that a
steady stream of glucose is released into your blood stream during your
training or event. Best of all, these carbohydrates are released more
slowly from your onboard energy reservoir, your small intestine, also
assuring that more glucose is available towards the end of your
exercise or event with liver and muscle glycogen stores are running
low. The result, you maintain blood glucose levels in the high-normal
range, while blood insulin levels remain stable. As a fitness beverage
Cytomax Lite LGI helps you eliminate bad carbs from your diet by
reducing carbohydrate/sugar cravings or without increasing insulin
secretion which promotes fat synthesis and storage. Product contains no
complete proteins, only selected amino acids as disclosed in the
ingredient declaration.
Directions
- How and When to Use: Mix one scoop in 8 to 10 oz water. Drink 1 to 2
hrs before training. This is a good starting point.
Experiment to determine the best timing for you.
- How
Much to Use: A general recommendation for active individuals, prior to
training, is 1 gram carbohydrate for each 2.2 lbs of bodyweight (i.e.,
50 grams if you weight 110 lbs, or 75 grams if you weight 165 lbs).
- Remember, regular
Cytomax is ideal during and immediately after an event or training.
- Store in a cool, dry place to avoid caking. If caking occurs, simply
break up with a spoon or other utensil.
