After training: Drink 25g for recovery and rehydration.

What is the optimal serve of EcoAde?

Mix 25g of EcoAde per 200ml [8%] to/or 300 ml [6%] of water to ensure a proper carbohydrate solution.

How does EcoAde differ from other sports drinks?

Glycine

  • Required for building protein in the body
  • Useful in aiding the absorption of calcium in the body
  • Assists in preventing degeneration of muscle tissue as it helps to supply extra “naturally occurring” creatine in the body

Taurine

  • Assists in efficient utilisation of potassium, calcium and sodium in the body
  • More efficient fat metabolism as taurine is a key ingredient of bile
  • Has an insulin mimicking property which helps “shuttle” nutrients into cells

Magnesium

  • Assists absorption of calcium & potassium
  • Aids in relaxation of muscles (will assist with cramping and twitching)
  • Needed for cellular energy production
  • Assists with stress related problems
  • Perspiration increases the utilisation and requirement for magnesium

Electrolytes

Potassium

  • Works with sodium for the nervous system to transmit messages and regulate contraction of muscles (Potassium in cell, sodium in fluid cells)
  • Helps prevent fatigue, cramping, muscle weakness
  • Perspiration increases utilisation and requirement of potassium

Sodium

  • Helps maintain the correct balance of fluids in your body
  • Helps prevent muscle fatigue due to dehydration
  • Required for the manufacture of Hydrochloric Acid in stomach, which protects the body from any infectious components present in food.

What Are the Side Effects of EcoAde Supplementation?

No side effects have been reported by athletes, if taken in the recommended amounts.
