Ultima Replenisher - Wild Raspberry (32 packs) by Ultima Health Products
|
|
Item #: 456593425
Price: 18.09
Retail price: 29.95
|
Ultima Replenisher is a re-hydration sports drink which contains no sugars, artificial sweeteners or other artificial ingredients and contains only 35 to 40 calories per 20 ounce serving. The Ultima Replenisher formula, consisting of 30 essential minerals, electrolytes, vitamins, antioxidants, and complex carbohydrates, was designed and tested to optimize: 1) the rapid absorption of fluids and nutrients, 2) the supply of sustainable energy, and 3) recovery from exertion. Our product is designed to appeal to the health conscious consumer and committed athlete at all levels of sport.
Ester C
Ester C is a naturally chelated (combined with a metallic ion to form a chelate, a substance absorbed better by the small intestine) mineral form of vitamin C. Ester C is absorbed fast and is pH balanced so that it will not to upset the stomach. White blood cell ascorbate levels are four times greater with ester C compared to the typical vitamin C. Ester C also enters the bloodstream and tissues four times faster than typical vitamin C. Essential to the formation of collagen, vitamin C protects against bruising, promotes the healing of wounds and the production of anti-stress hormones. It is an anti-oxidant required for tissue growth and repair, and adrenal gland function. Ester C protects against infection and against the harmful effects of pollution, and it may play a role in preventing cancer. It also aids in interferon production and is needed for the metabolism of folic acid, tyrosine, and phenylalanine.
Pantothenic Acid
Also called pantothenate, pantothenic acid belongs to the B complex of water-soluble vitamins that have multiple roles in energy metabolism. It forms part of the important coenzyme A and part of the protein found in the enzyme fatty acid synthetase. It is necessary for the production of glucose and fatty acids, the main fuels of the body. It is also essential for making steroid hormones and brain neurotransmitters.
Niacinamide
Niacinamide aids the function of the nervous system, promotes metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and protein, and the production of hydrochloric acid used by the digestive system. Niacinamide is essential to proper blood circulation.
Vitamin B6
Vitamin B6 is involved in more bodily functions than any other single nutrient. It affects both physical and mental health. This vitamin is necessary in the production of hydrochloric acid and in the absorption of fats and protein. It also aids in maintaining sodium and potassium balance, and promotes red blood cell formation. Vitamin B6 activates many enzymes, aids in B12 absorption, aids immune system function, and anti-body production. It inhibits the formation of a toxic chemical called homocysteine, which attacks the heart muscle and allows the deposition of cholesterol around the heart muscle.
Vitamin B12
Vitamin B12 is needed to prevent anemia. It aids in cell formation and cellular longevity. This vitamin is required for proper digestion, absorption of foods, protein synthesis, and metabolism of carbohydrates and fats.
Folic Acid
Considered brain food, folic acid is needed for energy production and the formation of red blood cells. Functioning as a coenzyme in DNA synthesis, it is important for healthy cell division and replication, especially the rapid replication of muscle and blood cells needed for performance and recovery.
Biotin
Biotin aids in cell growth, in fatty acid production, in metabolism of carbohydrates, fats, and proteins, and in the utilization of B-complex vitamins. Biotin forms part of two enzymes essential for glucose and fatty acid synthesis.
Maltodextrin
Maltodextrin is a complex carbohydrate that digests uniformly to supply energy consistently to the body over time without creating a “yo-yo” effect common with the digestion of simple sugars.Lo Han Guo
Lo Han Guo contains a natural sweetening agent called Mogroside, which is derived from the Lo Han Guo fruit and processed into a fine powder. This extract is easily soluble in water without any sediment. It is a stable, non-fermentable extract which is ideal for diabetics.
Stevia
Stevia is a natural plant extract considered to have a beneficial effect in controlling blood sugar levels.Sugar MattersNot only is the inclusion of certain ingredients important to the formula's success but the exclusion of sugar, abundant in competitive formulas, is just as important. The consumption of large amounts of simple sugar actually diminishes athletic performance. Sugar can cause what physiologists call the "yo-yo effect." This refers to the dramatic rise in blood sugar levels shortly after sugar consumption, followed by a steep decline in blood sugar to a level below where it was before consumption occurred. It is at this point that athletic performance flattens or crashes.
Instead, Ultima Replenisher provides easily digested complex carbohydrate energy. Complex carbohydrates provide a longer lasting, smoother delivery of energy compared to sugar. Complex carbohydrates do not interfere with the body's conversion of fat to energy during periods of endurance and high performance. Ultima Replenisher contains only complex carbohydrate energy to eliminate the risk of high and low sugar levels that detract from performance.
Ultima Replenisher is rapidly digested and passes quickly to the small intestine for absorption, typically in less than 20 minutes. The digestion of sugar (along with thickeners, and other no essential ingredients) can take up to 45 minutes. When simple sugar is consumed, the pancreas produces insulin to digest it. When the insulin is introduced, the liver becomes occupied breaking down the insulin and therefore is not available to convert fat to glycogen for the muscles to burn, a function essential to performance during training or competition. This is why the consumption of simple sugar before or during training or competition can prove detrimental to athletic performance. |
