Cytomax Pre-Formance is the solution to your most troubling dilemma as an endurance athlete: how to ingest enough high-quality calories when eating and exercise do not mix. Many endurance athletes train on an empty stomach or suffer from cramps and digestive problems when eating too close to workouts, particular when their fuel consists of high sugar snacks. Cytomax Pre-Formance delivers a complete, nutritionally-balanced meal in a liquid formula - making it the perfect pre-workout fuel source.

If you are an ultra-athlete with digestion and blood sugar issues when you go long, you may find consuming Cytomax Pre-Formance during your long sessions will help prevent digestive distress and bonking.

Benefits of using Cytomax Pre-Formance:

• Easy on your stomach: now you can consume a balanced meal with the nutrients you need for peak performance without suffering from the digestive distress that comes when you eat solid food and then exercise.
• Sustained Energy: packed with the nutrients you need for sustained energy: low-glycemic complex carbs, highly digestible whey protein. No junk calories to bloat you up or slow you down (under 2% sugar and under 7% fat)
• Reduces Perceived Exertion: Proprietary neurotransmitter complex improves focus and concentration levels
• Cell Protection: antioxidants fight exercise-induced free radical damage
• Weight/Energy Management: Improves metabolic response to exercise by preventing caloric depletion known as the "bonk".
• Peformance Enhancing: succinates improve oxygen delivery, AKG improves aerobic energy metabolism, CoQ10 improves heart function, creatine protects muscle cells, alpha L-polylactate buffers lactic acid production.
• Reduces Exercise Stress: Less muscle breakdown, cellular nutrient depletion and stress hormone production. Train harder more often!

Best ways to use Cytomax Pre-Formance:

Morning/Before workouts: Drink 30 minutes - 2 hours before to enhance performance, prevent bonking and regulate your metabolism for hours.

During: Mix 4-6 scoops of Cytomax Pre-Formance in a water bottle (520-780 calories) and sip gradually to maintain steady blood sugar during long sessions

Meal on the go: When eating a meal is not convenient, such as when traveling or during a hectic workday, Cytomax Pre-Formance is a nutritious alternative to junk food or going hungry.

Cytomax Pre-Formance Smoothie - The super convenient, high-energy breakfast for endurance athletes

As an athlete, eating a nutritious, balanced breakfast is perhaps your most important dietary practice for optimum health and fitness. The Cytomax Pre-Formance smoothie is easy to make, calorically balanced (its ratios are 54% carbohydrate, 40% protein, and 6% fat) and highly nutritious; it sets the tone for your entire day - a day of regulated energy, strong workouts and no sugar cravings in the afternoon or late at night.

Thousands of athletes have experienced excellent results when modifying their excessive intake of carbohydrates and rounding out their diet with more high-quality protein and fats. A balanced, nutritious breakfast is important for several reasons:

1) Liver glycogen levels are low due to your overnight "fast". If you don't eat in the morning, your metabolism will slow as a survival mechanism against this perceived starvation. You will feel tired and sluggish as you go about your day without food. This condition will be greatly worsened if you exercise in the morning and don't eat afterwards.

2) When you engage in aerobic exercise, you burn primarily fat for energy. You need steady blood sugar levels to burn fat. When you eat a high-carbohydrate breakfast, insulin enters your bloodstream to help regulate blood sugar levels.

The presence of insulin inhibits fat burning, your source of long-lasting energy. Instead, you are left burning the carbohydrates you just ingested. When these are used up, your blood sugar drops, causing you to crave more sugar. Skipping breakfast or eating a high-carb breakfast sets in motion this undesirable "roller coaster" of energy levels throughout the day. The end result is frequent bouts with fatigue, difficulty losing excess body fat, and sub-par workouts.

Sure, mornings are a busy time - but a Cytomax Pre-Formance smoothie takes only 47 seconds to make! It's the easiest, most efficient way to ensure that you get the exact nutrition you need to function optimally the rest of the day. The smoothie below is between 260 and 550 calories depending on the options you choose. For an even more complete, satisfying meal, include the banana, the Complete Whey Protein and the flax seed oil.

Mix these ingredients thoroughly in a blender:

• 2 cups cold water
• 2/3 cup ice
• 2 scoops Cytomax Pre-Formance formula

optional:

• soy milk or juice instead of water
• 1-2 scoops Complete Whey Protein
• 2 tablespoons flax seed oil (for those important Omega-3 fats)
• 1 medium banana
• fresh or frozen berries
• ½ cup whole oats for chewy texture

Brad's Note: I have been using Cytomax Performance since it was created five years ago. One of my favorite uses is to take a quick hit of a scoop or two in a water bottle before a morning run. Topping off my tank in the morning (8-10 hours since my previous meal) makes a big difference - even for a workout as short as 30-40 minutes. I don't feel light headed and starving when I get home.

For long distance workouts and races, there is nothing more effective than Cytomax Pre-Formance to deliver a balanced, nutritious source of calories requiring minimal digestion. In July of 2001, I rode my mountain bike across the Sierra from Auburn, CA to Lake Tahoe (82 miles, 13,000' climbing) - a 12 hour effort - consuming only Cytomax Pre-Formance (~2,400 calories worth) Cytomax, a handful of energy gels, a bag of almonds and two Snickers Bars.

Go easy on your stomach and obtain most of your calories in low-sugar liquid form when you go long. Cytomax Pre-Formance gives you exactly what you need for stable blood sugar levels, sustained energy and enhanced endurance performance.

Please understand the difference between Cytomax the energy drink and Cytomax Pre-Formance. Cytomax the drink is for hydration, electrolyte balance and moderate caloric needs during exercise. Cytomax Pre-Formance is a food source. Even though it's a liquid, it provides for your caloric needs, not hydration.
