Of course, if a professional athlete wants full strength he can get it. But its all marketing, research shows what you ate hours before your game is much more important than 15 mins before.
I've been using some of the Hammer Nutrition products for cycling with good results. Haven't tried crossing over to hockey yet but probably will at some point. For you guys that play multiple games in the same weekend or same day like a tournament I'd recommend getting ahold of some Recoverite.
That stuff is the s--t. You can get it on the GNC website here. I saw them as well. Normal shaped 32oz bottle but looked to be made of the green plastic in squeeze bottles. I prefer half and half. Check their website. May be a great product, but they don't even tell what's in it or have a nutritional label up on the site.
This is off topic but I googled Biosteel and got a bunch of info on silk made from the milk of genetically modified goats. Ice Hockey Equipment. Existing user? Sign in anonymously. Reviews wanted! Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies.

You havent seen the commericals? Dare to Dream 0. Dupes 1. Are these Pro series drinks available in Canada? JR Boucicaut They will be. Gatorade as you know it is now G Series But it was found that many Americans consume more than 3, mg of sodium per day, which is seven times more than what the body needs and more than double what the maximum intake should be.
The sodium in the drink alone is not necessarily the issue. If someone is vigorously exercising, the drink can be used to replenish the sodium that is lost.
Although there is not a lot of research on how much sodium is lost during the workout process, a study showed that about mg of salt is lost per pound of sweat. Over consumption of sodium can have serious health implications such as heart attack, heart disease, kidney damage and high blood pressure.
In addition to the sodium, sports drinks are extremely high in sugar and carbohydrates. In a 20 oz bottle of Gatorade, there is 34 grams of sugar, and a 12 oz bottle of Powerade has 21 grams. For the average person doing moderate exercise, the electrolytes in the drink are not worth the added sugar and calories. The average person burns abou t calories per mile they run. If one ran two miles during their workout they would burn roughly calories.
If this workout is immediately followed by a sports drink, there will be little calorie deficit left. This point was validated Floris Wardenaar, a nutrition professor at Arizona State University, who said that if someone feels like they need to replenish after a workout they should eat a meal rather than consume a sports drink.
The meal will likely have more nutritional value such as vitamins and protein. According to Healthline , most people who are consuming popular sports drinks are not athletes. For mildly active individuals and weekend warriors, the best option is water. Since the majority of our body is made up of water, it is the most easily recognized. According to a study posted in Journal of Athletic Training water begins absorbing in the body more quickly than its sports drink alternatives.
