5. Maximize Performance with Energy
Prolong provides:
58 g of a dual-source blend of
carbohydrates for rapid and sustained energy*
Carbohydrates are the body’s fuel during exercise
Activity duration
Prolong speeds recovery time
Why you need it:
Recovery time
Proper nutrition during exercise has two key benefits: increasing performance and reducing recovery time. Combined, these elements help an athlete perform better, day in and day out.
One of the keys to improved athletic performance is to conserve the “fuel” that your body has on reserve. The “fuel” that athletes use is called glycogen. Think of glycogen levels like the gas in a car: once we run out of it, we’re literally out of gas. However, imagine a car that, as the tank gets lower, slows down. That’s how your body works. So, the bigger the gas tank, the longer and the better you can perform.
Once we finish working out, we must replenish the lost glycogen, a process that typically takes hours. By consuming carbohydrates during exercise, our body is able to use the ingested carbohydrate as fuel, instead of precious glycogen. So, saving glycogen can dramatically shorten refueling time, thus speeding recovery.
Even though you could finish an event or workout without eating, you’ll be digging your body into greater glycogen debt.
Prolong, with ample carbohydrates, shortens the time to replenish glycogen lost during activity.
Proper fueling during exercise improves performance and speeds recovery time

6. Did You Know? Example caloric usage:

Example caloric usage:
1 hour sustained hard bike ride: ~900 calories
4 hour bike race: ~3,500 calories
Marathon: ~3,000 calories
1 hour swim: ~600 calories
90 minute professional soccer match: 2,000-2,500 calories
Electrolyte demand:
Soccer players lose 2 L sweat, >1.5 g sodium per game
Cyclists lose 1-2 L sweat, >1 g sodium per hour
Serious training and competition require enormous amounts of nutritional support. To put the energy needs of certain high-performance athletes into perspective, let’s consider:
-One hour of intense cycling can cost the body 900 calories. Bike races can last four or more hours—and that’s over 3,500 calories!
-Running a marathon can cost the body upwards of 3,000 calories.
-One hour of swimming can cost the body 600 calories, and many competitive swimmers swim four or more hours a day. That’s about 2,500 calories burned.
-A professional soccer player competing in a 90 minute match can burn up to 2,500 calories.
Calories aren’t the only requirement. Through all this exertion, athletes lose enormous amounts of fluid and electrolytes, too:
-Soccer players can lose 2 liters of fluid and over 1,500 milligrams of sodium in a single game.
-Cyclists can lose up to 2 liters of sweat and 1,000 milligrams of sodium per hour.
These fluids, calories and electrolytes all need replacing in order to maintain performance.

7. Two Carbohydrate Sources

Prolong provides:
Carbohydrate blend:
- Maltodextrin (fast release)
- Fructose (slow release)
Maximum carbohydrates and energy
Why you need it:
The dual-source carbohydrate system in Prolong means more calories utilized per hour, better performance, increased glycogen conservation and faster recovery. *
We’ve formulated Prolong to contain a dual-source blend of carbohydrates: maltodextrin and fructose, so that athletes can use both to utilize more calories per hour.
Carbohydrates enter cells through channels called transporters. The transporter that takes up glucose (the building blocks of maltodextrin), can only accommodate so much at a time. Consumption of maltodextrin beyond this maximum isn’t utilized, and can even cause problems like gastric distress. Think of the glucose transporter like a freeway and glucose like cars. Once there are too many cars for the freeway to support, a jam occurs and traffic backs up. The excess cars have nowhere to go. This is what overloading the glucose transporter is like.
However, our bodies have a second transporter that is specific for fructose. Think of this as the break-down lane on a freeway – while fewer cars can travel on this during rush hour, and must proceed at a lower speed – it still allows for more cars that can get through than if this lane wasn’t used. This is how glucose and fructose work together to supply your body more carbohydrate.
The dual-source system in Prolong means more calories per hour, better performance, increased glycogen conservation and faster recovery. And it’s all thanks to science.

8. More Energy to Working Muscles
Carbohydrate utilization
Glucose
Maltodextrin
Glucose is the 91-octane of energy for cells. However, like a gas tank, we can only take in so much. Prolong is unique because it uses maltodextrin, which is a long-chain of glucose molecules. To demonstrate why maltodextrin is a great fuel source, let’s consider a hypothetical situation. A single cell may only be able to hold 10 units of a carbohydrate. These could be 10 single units of glucose, or 10 units of maltodextrin, each of which is comprised of many units of glucose. So for each of the 10 units of maltodextrin, we are actually getting many units of glucose. Inside the cell, maltodextrin is broken down into glucose units very rapidly. By using maltodextrin, we are able to deliver a much greater number of glucose molecules to working muscles.
Many studies have shown that dual-source carbohydrates can lead to higher rates of carbohydrate utilization during exercise. So a dual-source carbohydrate blend ensures that more energy is delivered to working muscles, allowing athletes to sustain a more strenuous effort for a longer period of time.

9. More Calories = More Energy
Calorie Comparison
*based on 21 oz serving
As an athlete, the dual-source blend means that you can get the higher calorie dose you need in a single serving, to keep you fueled for the most intense workouts. Prolong has 250 calories per 21 oz serving. To compare apples-to-apples, we compared Prolong to other leading sports supplements. Prolong has nearly double the calories. Think of them as “effective” calories that your body is able to better utilize. * 9

10. *Grams of sugar in 21 oz of leading sports supplements
High Calorie – Low Sugar
Sugar Comparison
*Grams of sugar in 21 oz of leading sports supplements
One of the best features of Prolong is that we can get all 250 calories into a single serving without the huge loads of sugar that so many other drinks have. Now that’s rapid and sustained energy. * 10

11. Maintain Hydration Prolong provides: Why you need it:
Over 850 mg of “key” bioavailable electrolytes:
Sodium
Potassium
Magnesium
Calcium
Elevated electrolyte levels are critical to reduce cramping, maintain hydration and stabilize body temperature
Prolong is also loaded with over 850 mg of bioavailable electrolytes. The elevated electrolyte levels are critical to reduce cramping, maintain hydration and stabilize body temperature.
Prolong contains a mixture of the four key electrolytes: sodium, potassium, magnesium and calcium. With 500 mg of sodium, 250 mg of potassium, 80 mg of calcium and 45 mg of magnesium, you can be assured you’re getting all the electrolytes you’ll need from a single supplement.
Why you need it:
When sweating during exercise you lose more than just water. Salts and minerals need to be replaced as well.

13. Minimize Post Activity Recovery

Prolong provides:
• 5 g of whey protein isolate
• A very pure form of rapidly metabolized protein
Why you need it:
Protein consumption during exercise is a new concept. Research shows that protein can help protect muscles from breakdown during exercise.
You’ll recovery more quickly and be ready to train or compete day after day.
During exercise, muscles are broken down and can sometimes become cannibalized by the body for energy in extreme circumstances. Research has shown that protein consumption during exercise can actually help reduce the amount of breakdown that occurs, and subsequently, facilitate the recovery process. Imagine, if you can workout without incurring the same muscle damage and soreness that you would otherwise encounter. You will start your workout the following day in a better physical state and ultimately get more from it. The 24-Hour Athlete™ knows that proper training, rest and nutrition – day in and day out - are critical to performance.
Prolong contains 5 g of a highly purified form of whey protein called whey protein isolate. Prolong has just a small amount, so it doesn’t interfere with your digestion during intense or anaerobic efforts. The 5 g of protein and 58 g of carbohydrate create a nearly 12:1 carb to protein ratio, providing ample carbohydrates athletes rely on for fuel, but just enough protein to maintain muscle integrity during a workout.
Never before have you felt so good during a workout, but also the following day as well.

14. Mix Prolong with Water

A single serving of Prolong contains roughly a half cup of dry powder. Follow these recommendations to avoid clumping or settling:
Half-fill a 21-ounce water bottle with room-temperature water
Add two level scoops of Prolong
Shake vigorously for no less than 20 seconds
Fill the remainder of your bottle with water
Because a single serving of Prolong contains roughly a half cup of dry powder, it’s important to properly mix it to avoid clumping or settling. So: Half-fill a 20- to 24-ounce water bottle with room-temperature water. Then add two level scoops of Prolong. Shake vigorously for no less than 20 seconds, then fill the remainder of your bottle with water.
For best results, drink one bottle per hour during intense or prolonged physical activity.
However, more is not ALWAYS better. Every athlete’s specific nutritional needs are different, and they’re affected by many factors. They include a person’s height, weight and sex, the weather, the time of the day, and any meal consumed prior to working out, amongst other things.
We recommend carefully evaluating your calorie requirements before choosing your nutritional supplements.
