Details
In just 5 to 10 minutes, the simple and complex carbohydrates and electrolytes found in CLIF BAR® Clif Shot are absorbed into the body to give an energy boost necessary for endurance athletes.
Electrolytes
Vital for peak performance output, electrolytes such as sodium, potassium and magnesium make a significant contribution to metabolizing carbohydrates as well as enhancing muscle performance.
Sodium
Recent studies show that rehydration occurs faster when electrolytes, such as sodium, are absorbed during a training session.
Potassium
This mineral is considered the principal electrolyte in the body’s cells, and consequently makes a significant contribution to the transmission of nerve impulse signals, muscle cell contractions, and to improve maintenance of the cardiovascular system.
Magnesium
This mineral is essential for the maintenance of an effective carbohydrate metabolism. Recent studies have shown that athletes are more prone to suffer from magnesium deficiency, which reveals itself in the form of muscle cramps or tremors.
