HOW TO USE:
Application:
Use prior to, during, and after workouts to satisfy the body's electrolyte requirements with maximum precision.
Use as needed but primarily when:
- Exercise lasts for more than two hours, regardless of temperature or humidity.
- Exercise lasts less than two hours and:
- Temperature is above 80 degrees and/or 70% humidity or
- Temperature and humidity is ten degrees or more above what you are accustomed to.
Capsule Usage Instructions
Take 1–3 capsules 10–30 minutes before the start of exercise.
Take 1–6 capsules per hour as needed to maintain electrolyte balance.
Take 1–3 capsules immediately following exercise.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Many variables - body weight, fitness level, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and physiological predisposition - affect individual electrolyte requirements, so you must do your own trials with Endurolytes dosing, under a variety of conditions, to determine what your individual needs are.
- Endurolytes DO NOT prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from overexertion in the heat.
- The amount of salt (sodium chloride) you habitually consume in your daily diet largely determines the amount of salt, you will need to consume during exercise and races. If you consume a high-salt diet, you will either need to increase your hourly dose of Endurolytes or use Endurolytes Extreme.
- We include ginger root in the Endurolytes and Endurolytes Extreme capsules because it is very soothing to the stomach and can help protect against nausea and other stomach issues. However, some of ginger's naturally occurring compounds—zingerone and capsaicin—can have a burning effect on the mouth and throat if the powder comes in contact with them. We therefore recommend that you DO NOT open up the capsules and swallow the contents. Consume the capsule whole for best results.

Hammer Nutrition EnDuro D - 30 Softels
- Superior structural health combination
- Offers powerful defense system support
- Helps improve carbohydrate utilization
BENEFITS
Vitamin D3 and K2 are both essential fat soluble nutrients that supply many benefits individually, but they rely on each other to function optimally. EnDuro D takes advantage of these synergistic effects to provide a superior formula in an easily absorbable softgel. For immune system support, bone health, and cardiovascular health, take EnDuro D: the dynamic duo for health and well-being.
HOW TO USE
Maintenance dosage
Take 1 softgel daily with meals or separately.
Acute needs (winter months, low sunlight conditions)
Take 2–3 softgels daily
MASSIVE BENEFITS FROM THE D3/K2 COMBINATION
BY STEVE BORN
The word synergy “refers to when an interaction of elements produces an effect that is greater than the effect that would have resulted from simply adding up the effects of each individual element. In other words, it is what happens when a combination of things produces an effect or result that is said to be ‘greater than the sum of its parts.”
Vitamins D3 and K2—both essential, fat-soluble nutrients— are a perfect example of synergy. While each of these extraordinarily beneficial vitamins supply many individual benefits, they rely on each other to function optimally, especially in regards to bone and arterial health.
The researched benefits of vitamin D3 are so plentiful that it would take every page of all 126 issues of Endurance News (and most likely many more than that) to discuss them all (do a Google search on “vitamin D benefits” and you’ll probably be online for a month or so). In fact, there is no other nutrient that I know of—with the exception of magnesium—that is involved in more aspects of human health than vitamin D3.
The benefits from vitamin D3 supplementation are to support the immune system proper utilization of calcium to optimize bone density and overall bone health normalize blood pressure and support cardiovascular health and so much more.
Vitamin K2 works with vitamin D3 for supporting both bone and cardiovascular health by activating a protein called osteocalcin, which helps keep calcium out of the arteries while increasing the amount of calcium in the bones (teeth as well). Vitamin K2, working alongside vitamin D3, also promotes healthy glucose metabolism to maintain proper blood sugar levels thus helping protect against type 2 diabetes.
While these are the primary benefits of vitamins D3 and K2, there are many other benefits, far too many to list here. Everyone* will benefit from supplementation of vitamin D3 and vitamin K2, the dynamic duo for numerous areas of human health.
ENDURO-D SOFTGEL CONTENTS
Vitamin D3................. 50 mcg (2,000IU)
Vitamin K2...........................1,680 mcg
Menaquinone 4 (MK-4).....1500 mcg
Menaquinone 7 (MK-7).......180 mcg
TWO MAIN FORMS OF VITAMIN D
D2 (ergocalciferol)
The plant-derived form.
D3 (cholecalciferol)
The sun-derived form, animal-derived (lanolin) form, and the form that is believed to effectively raise bodily levels of active vitamin D better than D2.
NOTE: In 1919, German researcher Adolf Windaus discovered three forms of vitamin D: D1, D2, and D3. When it was found that D1 was actually a mixture of compounds instead of a pure vitamin D product, the term D1 was dropped.
TWO MAIN FORMS OF VITAMIN K
K1 (phylloquinone)
The plant-derived form, and the main form of vitamin K in the diet. Vitamin K1 is poorly absorbed, with less than 10% absorption rates.
K2 (Menaquinone)
The often found in foods that contain fat and suggested to be a better-absorbed form than K1 that also circulates in the blood longer than K1.
NOTE: Vitamin K2 has a number of menaquinone (MK for short) subtypes, with the most beneficial ones being MK-4, and MK-7. Research on the MK-4 subtype of vitamin K2 used 1500 mcg/day.
Studies on MK-7 used 180 mcg/ day. Also, Dr. Dennis Goodman, author of Vitamin K2: The Missing Nutrient for Heart and Bone Health, suggests amounts between 150 to 180 mcg/day of MK-7. These are the amounts found in EnDuro D.

Hammer Nutrition Energy Surge - 30 Tablets
- Increases power output
- Improves repeatability of high-intensity efforts
- Helps you finish strong
BENEFITS
ATP (Adenosine triphosphate) is the ready-to-use finished product of cellular energy that fuels all high-level efforts. During exercise, ATP stores get depleted and too much time may pass before full replenishment can take place. That’s why you need Energy Surge. With 100 mg of sublingual PEAK ATP® rapidly absorbed into your bloodstream, you’ll restore your body’s ATP-producing mechanisms, while also enjoying rapidly renewed energy levels.
HOW TO USE
Take before high-intensity, shortduration exercise (less than one hour). Dissolve 1–4 tablets under your tongue 5–30 minutes before the start.
For prolonged exercise, dissolve 1–3 tablets under your tongue, as needed before climbs or other strenuous efforts and whenever you desire a quick boost of energy.
PRO TIP
To accelerate absorption, chew tablets, but do not swallow. Hold chewed-up tablets in your mouth for 1-5 minutes before swallowing.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) – A high-energy molecule found in every cell, often referred to as “the energy currency of life,” ATP is formed from a long chain of metabolic events in which a variety of substrates are transferred from the foods you eat. Energy Surge contains preformed, ready-to-use ATP.
Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate - A source of magnesium that is bonded to ATP in order for ATP to be biologically active. Magnesium Glycerol Phosphate also helps to balance the pH of the product to keep it more-neutral state of 7.0
Fructose – To help buffer the bitter-to-acidic taste of pure ATP, a trace amount of fructose is used. Each tablet contains approximately 170 mg (0.17 gm, or 17% of one gram), a minuscule amount.
Mannitol – Like xylitol, this sweetener is classified as a polyol, and found in the fruit, leaves and other parts of many plants, including celery, mushrooms, onions, pumpkins, and strawberries. As is the case with fructose, mannitol helps buffer the bitter-to-acidic taste of pure ATP.
Cellulose Gum – Made from plant fibers, cellulose gum binds the ingredients together in the tablet. It also protects the stability of ATP, preventing it from reacting prior to consumption.
Magnesium Stearate – Used in trace amounts as a “flow agent” to prevent the raw materials from sticking to the mechanical equipment, and to ensure a uniform consistency with the tablets.
Hammer Nutrition Race Day Boost - 64 Capsules
- Optimizes aerobic capacity
- Increases endurance
- Helps reduce unpleasant "burning sensation"
BENEFITS
Race Day Boost greatly enhances the performance of your body’s three energy production pathways. That means, no matter what your race pace may be—low-to-moderate intensity, higher intensity/ anaerobic, or flat-out sprint—a four-day load with Race Day Boost delivers the goods to help you meet or exceed your race day expectations. Race Day Boost superbly buffers lactic acid and dramatically improves oxygen utilization, which is why it’s no surprise that, in the most extensive research to date on Race Day Boost’s primary ingredient, study subjects enjoyed a whopping 8% improvement in performance time.
HOW TO USE
Use for major events.
One-Day Event—"A" Race
Take 4 capsules with food and water 4 times per day (16 capsules daily) for 4 days before a competition.
Multi-Day Event
Follow loading protocol for 3 days prior to start:
4 capsules, 4 times per day.
Then follow this twice-daily “maintenance dose” protocol after each stage:
Take 4 capsules with Recoverite® as soon as possible after racing each day, as well as another 4-capsule dose with food later in the day/evening.
PRO TIP
Do not use it for every race because this product has a “tolerance factor.” Therefore, use it ideally only four to six times per year.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Sodium (Tribasic) Phosphate – This compound enhances the functioning of all three of the body’s ATP-producing energy systems: the short-term ATP-CP system, the medium-term lactic acid system, and the long-term oxygen/aerobic system.
A primary benefit of sodium (tribasic) phosphate is its ability to buffer blood acidity and help maintain a more ideal acid-alkaline balance by neutralizing excess hydrogen ions within the muscle cell. Effectively buffering lactic acid extends energy production within this system. This nutrient also increases 2,3-diphosphoglycerate (2,3-DPG). This compound, found in red blood cells, helps release oxygen from hemoglobin into the muscle cells. An increase in 2,3-DPG will improve the availability of oxygen to working muscles during exercise.
Malic Acid – A natural substance found in apples and other fruits. Malic acid helps balance the extreme alkalinity of Race Day Boost, thus minimizing-to-eliminating the potential for stomach distress. As an essential component of the Krebs cycle, malic acid also helps boost energy levels and is beneficial for liver health.
ENDUROLYTES® EXTREME - HAMMER NUTRITION
- Full-spectrum, balanced formula
- 3x the sodium and potassium per capsule as original Endurolytes
BENEFITS

WHAT ARE YOUR THOUGHTS ON SWEAT TESTS?
Q: I recently did a sweat test, with the results showing that I need 1,000 mg or more of sodium per hour during my workouts and races. What are your thoughts?
A: While there may be some interesting information to derive from a sweat test, we at Hammer Nutrition are not a fan of them, mainly because that information is limited and only reflects a small part of the entire picture. Simply put, the results from a sweat test are not representative of what happens during prolonged bouts of exercise.
In a sweat test, the athlete rides a bike or runs on a treadmill in a controlled environment, with their sweat captured to determine fluid and electrolyte loss. That’s all fine, but how long is the test? Maybe an hour? That may be accurate in determining fluid and sweat loss during that first hour or so, but it’s not indicative of what will happen each hour following that initial test hour.
When we begin exercise, we generally lose a lot of fluid and electrolytes, especially salt (sodium chloride), in that first 30-60 minutes. That’s not unusual at all. The problem with going "all in" with sweat test results is that you're basically assuming that these losses are going to occur in the same amounts and volume hour after hour; you're not taking into account the many built-in mechanisms in the human body that regulate fluid and electrolyte use.
It's important to understand that we already begin exercise with massive, double-digit gram amounts of sodium already in our bodies. Once exercise commences, we usually lose a fair amount of fluid and sodium during that first hour or so. However, the human body, the marvelously designed machine that it is, recognizes this and a number of hormonal mechanisms that help monitor and regulate fluid and mineral loss (especially the latter, and particularly sodium) become actively engaged.
Regarding sodium loss, there is a hormone called aldosterone whose primary responsibility (in layman’s terms) is to monitor sodium levels in the body. And when aldosterone senses that sodium losses are becoming too great to maintain normal bodily functioning, it orchestrates a complex process by which sodium is recirculated back into the system via the kidneys. In doing so, aldosterone helps conserve our stores of sodium. Now, this recirculation/conservation process cannot take care of all our requirements hour after hour after hour; we need to supplement with electrolytes to work with aldosterone and help maintain adequate electrolyte status.
The mistake that many athletes commit is that they overdo it with the salt/sodium. They oftentimes look at these sweat tests and notice (for example) that perhaps 1-2 grams of sodium has been lost. NOTE: 1-2 grams of sodium equals 2.5 – 5.0 grams of salt (40% sodium, 60% chloride). That is a TON of salt! Forgetting that the body will not automatically and repeatedly lose this amount hour after hour after hour—and not taking into account aldosterone’s actions to monitor, recirculate, and thus conserve sodium stores—athletes will start consuming 1-2 grams of sodium every hour, which is far too much. Once the body detects an increase in sodium from exogenous sources (food, salt tablets, or products too high in sodium), aldosterone signals the kidneys to stop filtering and recirculating sodium. Instead, the body will excrete even more sodium than before.
When the normal function of aldosterone is “shut down” due to excess sodium intake, another hormone, vasopressin, will predominate and cause unpleasant/uncomfortable and performance-inhibiting fluid retention in the form of swelling (edema) in the extremities. Consequences of excess sodium intake also include elevated blood pressure and, as mentioned earlier, an increased rate of sodium excretion. Elevated blood pressure, excess sodium excretion, and dramatically increased fluid retention not only inhibit performance; they can also be harmful to your health.
If you've ever finished a workout or race with swollen hands, wrists, feet, or ankles, or if you have experienced puffiness under your eyes and around your cheeks, or if your body and clothing is covered in excess amounts of salt stains, your sodium/salt intake was most likely too high.
BOTTOM LINE: When you consume too much sodium/salt—in your diet, prior to exercise (sodium loading), or during exercise—you're actually doing much more harm than good. Too much of anything—water, salt/sodium, calories, etc.—will result in performance-inhibiting issues ranging from as minor as stomach distress to as serious as hyponatremia.
As discussed earlier, while there may be a small amount of useful information that a sweat test can provide, the results do not reflect how the body responds during long-duration exercise. Relying on the results of a sweat test—meaning trying to replace in equal amounts what the sweat test says you’re are losing mineral-wise—will result in negative, performance-inhibiting-to-ruining outcomes.
HOW TO USE
Take 1 capsule 10–30 minutes before the start of exercise.
Take 1–2 capsules per hour as needed to maintain electrolyte balance.
Take 1 capsule immediately following exercise.
NOTE: We include ginger root in the Endurolytes and Endurolytes Extreme capsules because it is very soothing to the stomach and can help protect against nausea and other stomach issues. However, some of ginger's naturally occurring compounds - zingerone and capsaicin - can have a burning effect on the mouth and throat if the powder comes in contact with them. We therefore recommend that you DO NOT open up the capsules and swallow the contents. Consume the capsule whole for best results.
- Improves energy production
- Promotes wellness
- Helps improve fat metabolism
BENEFITS
Getting the most out of every minute of every day requires efficient energy production at the cellular level. The unique Mito Caps formula maximizes this process by supporting and protecting mitochondria—the energy-producing organelles in cells—as they work to produce energy, neutralize free radicals, and combat age-related degeneration.
You’ll notice a non-stimulant increase in energy levels, along with a sense of stable health and wellness reminiscent of your youth. The cumulative benefits supplied by Mito Caps will positively affect every aspect of your life.
KOSHER CERTIFIED
HOW TO USE
Application:
Help your body's mitochondria (the thousands of energy-producing "furnaces" in the cells) work more efficiently and stay healthier. One nutrition expert states, "The longer you can stimulate the lifespan or health of the mitochondria, the longer you will live and better you will perform in endurance events. The athlete who has the most healthy/efficient mitochondria is the athlete who performs at their best."
Usage Instructions:
Take 1 capsule daily with a meal.
Take 1 capsule every one or two hours during prolonged efforts to reduce fatigue and increase endurance.
PRO TIP
Ingredients are very heat-sensitive— store Mito Caps in a refrigerator or a cool, dark place.
Notes:
The two primary nutrients in the Mito Caps formula - acetyl l-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid - have numerous general health benefits. Therefore, every athlete or active person should take this product daily, all year round. Athletes desiring increased benefits can experiment with higher dosages.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Acetyl L-Carnitine – L-carnitine is a derivative of the amino acid lysine which has been found to restore key elements of mitochondrial energy production and cellular health. Additionally, it serves as the most important link in the production of energy from carbohydrates, protein (amino acids), and fats at the cellular level. It also helps to preserve lean muscle tissue by decreasing excess levels of cortisol.
R-Alpha Lipoic Acid (R-ALA) – Is an essential cofactor for several multi-enzyme complexes that increase critical energy metabolism reactions inside the mitochondria of cells.
Commonly known as the “universal antioxidant,” R-ALA functions as both a water and fat-soluble antioxidant. For this reason, it is able to neutralize a wider variety of free radicals than any other, including those created by excess free metal ions such as iron and copper. It also plays a role in the regeneration of “used up” or oxidized antioxidants such as vitamins C & E, CoQ10, and glutathione, thus extending their capabilities.
Lastly, R-ALA is also believed to be involved in maintaining proper glucose metabolism by improving insulin sensitivity.
DMAE – Dimethylaminoethanol (DMAE) bitartrate stimulates the production of choline, which in turn allows the brain to optimize production of acetylcholine, a neurotransmitter involved in learning and memory. DMAE also enhances the function of acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid.
Para-amino Benzoic Acid (PABA) – This intricate B-complex vitamin plays an important role in the formation of red blood cells and also functions as an antioxidant. While a potent nutrient in its own right, its primary role in this formula is to multiply and enhance the effects of acetyl L-carnitine and R-alpha lipoic acid.
Vitamin E & Vitamin B6 – Powerful antioxidants that help neutralize the free radicals naturally produced during energy production. These vitamins have numerous additional health benefits pertaining to the cardiovascular and circulatory systems, and support healthy energy production. They are included in this formula specifically to assist in the body’s use of DMAE and PABA.
Ascorbyl Palmitate – A non-acidic, fat-soluble form of vitamin C that has the ability to reach specific areas of tissue that standard vitamin C cannot. In addition to its antioxidant properties, ascorbyl palmitate enhances the bioavailability of carnitine.
Proprietary Enzyme Blend (amylase, lipase, and protease) – These enzymes help maximize absorption of all the nutrients in the product.
- Supports optimum health
- Boosts energy all day

Race Caps Supreme (90 Capsules)
Tested, trusted and proven for over 32 years.
- Prolongs endurance
- Helps increase energy
- Supports cognitive and vascular health
BENEFITS
Increased energy, prolonged endurance, enhanced recovery, and improved immunity—these are just a few of the benefits Race Caps Supreme has delivered to our customers for over three decades. It’s the original endurance supplement, and still second to none. With potent sources of coenzyme Q10 and idebenone, along with a host of other cellular energy catalysts to maximize assimilation, Race Caps Supreme works to replenish critical nutrients not available from dietary sources. Race Caps Supreme is THE supplement that provides a truly wide range of benefits for enhancing both athletic performance and overall health, and everyone—athlete and non-athlete alike—would benefit tremendously from daily use.
HOW TO USE
For best results, take 2–3 every day.
Before Exercise
Take before primary exercise period of the day or with breakfast or lunch.
During Exercise
Take 1 capsule per hour during prolonged exercise to reduce fatigue and improve endurance.
PRO TIPS
Take with a fat source for better absorption.
While not a central nervous system stimulant, the energy production of this product means it should be used early in the day, not in the evening or before bed.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Coenzyme Q10 (CoQ10) – A crucially important nutrient (think: “catalyst” or “spark plug”) for the efficient production of energy from your food and oxygen intake. CoQ10 exists in every cell of the human body and facilitates proper functioning of all elements of energy production. Unfortunately, body stores naturally decline with age and are rapidly depleted during strenuous exercise, making supplementation essential.
CoQ10’s myriad of additional benefits include supporting the immune system, healthy blood pressure, aiding in the prevention of many forms of cancer, and playing a key role in the prevention of Parkinson's disease. It also helps promote healthy teeth and gums, and supports healthy skin by providing protection against UV radiation.
Idebenone – Supplies many of the same benefits as CoQ10, with some distinct advantages based on its more complex chemical structure. Perhaps the most remarkable feature of idebenone is its unique ability to operate under hypoxic (low oxygen) conditions, helping to produce energy and maintain high energy levels without creating free radicals, even at high altitude or during the most intense exercise sessions.
Vitamin E – A powerful antioxidant that, along with CoQ10 and idebenone, helps neutralize the free radicals naturally created during energy production. Vitamin E has numerous general health benefits as well, especially in regard to the cardiovascular and circulatory systems.
OxyAssist – A unique blend of nutrients which work in combination to enhance oxygen utilization, optimize fat burning, increase energy production, and buffer against acid build-up.
Trimethylglycine (TMG) – Helps convert fatty acids to energy. It has been used to treat muscular weakness and degeneration, due in part to its role in transporting oxygen to muscle tissues.
Inosine – Helps increase the oxygen-carrying capacity of the blood, allowing more oxygen to be delivered to working muscles, thereby reducing fatigue.
Krebs Cycle Intermediates – Supports the Krebs cycle (a.k.a. the citric acid cycle or the tricarboxylic acid cycle) by supplying precise amounts of the Krebs cycle intermediates malate, citrate, aspartate, lysinate and glycinate, which are chelators for the minerals calcium, magnesium, and potassium. Another Krebs cycle intermediate, alpha-ketoglutarate, is included as well.
Enzyme Blend (protease, amylase, glucoamylase, lipase, cellulase, phytase, maltase, and sucrase). Ensures proper digestion and absorption of this supplement.
Bioperine® – Black pepper fruit extract is used to support digestion and absorption. It has been shown to increase the absorption of important nutrients such as CoQ10 by over 30%.
PQQ (pyrroloquinoline quinone) is a nutrient found in kiwifruit, parsley, cocoa powder, fermented soybean (Japanese natto) and green peppers. PQQ, which is a perfect complement to the CoQ10 component in Race Caps Supreme, has rightfully garnered much positive news, primarily because it has the unique ability to increase the number of mitochondria (mitochondrial biogenesis) and improve their efficiency. Research has shown that PQQ activates genes that promote the formation of new mitochondria for more youthful cellular energy production. In addition, PQQ has potent antioxidant properties, it supports heart health and cognitive function, helps improve fat metabolism and assists in weight loss. PQQ has also been shown to reduce aches and soreness from exercise.
NUTRITIONAL INFORMATION
Anti-Fatigue Caps (90 Capsules)
Eliminate endurance barriers
- Eliminates “heavy legs”
- Prolongs endurance
- Fights everyday fatigue
BENEFITS
Anti-Fatigue Caps is truly a “there’s nothing else like it anywhere” supplement, one that greatly extends endurance by effectively neutralizing the fatigue-causing effects of ammonia build-up, often referred to as “the endurance athlete’s worst enemy.” Three well-known ammonia-scavenging compounds make up this unique formula, helping to prevent the dreaded “heavy” legs sensation and extend energy output.
How to Use
2-4 capsules one hour prior to training. This would provide an initial dose of 500-1000 mg magnesium/potassium aspartate, and 480-960 mg of OKG, an excellent dose at the onset of an endurance workout or race.
An additional 1-2 capsules each hour, at the two-hour mark and beyond, during extended endurance sessions is also suggested.
Ingredient Breakdown
Potassium/Magnesium Aspartate – This compound is comprised of potassium and magnesium chelated (aka “bonded”) to the amino acid aspartic acid. It often used for alleviating general fatigue and is sometimes involved in treatment regimens for Chronic Fatigue Syndrome.
L-Citrulline – This amino acid is found in foods such as watermelon, onions, and garlic. L-citrulline assists in the removal of ammonia in the muscles and liver. Like aspartic acid, it is beneficial in alleviating fatigue.
OKG (Ornithine Alpha-Ketoglutarate) – A combination of the amino acid L-ornithine and the compound alpha-ketoglutarate. OKG provides a readily available, non-ammonia-producing source of glutamine in the body. Both L-ornithine and alpha-ketoglutarate act as ammonia scavengers in the body.
Beet Juice Powder – While the primary function of this ingredient is coloring the capsules to easily differentiate them from similar-looking capsules such as Endurolytes, beetroot powder also boosts nitric oxide levels.
Nutritional Information
Pre-Exercise Ignitor
- Increases energy
- Improves power output
- Natural tart cherry flavor
Benefits
The revolutionary Fully Charged pre-exercise formula gets you prepared—mentally and physically—for each and every workout or event. It reduces warm-up time, increases cardiovascular capacity, prevents lactic acid build up, and raises energy levels. Fully Charged works with your body, not against it, and provides these wide-ranging performance benefits without resorting to harmful stimulants or excess amounts of caffeine (each serving contains a modest 15 mg). It’s a game changer.
How to Use
Mix 1 serving in 4–8 oz of water, or take 2 capsules, 15–30 minutes before exercise.
During exercise lasting more than 3 hours, take additional doses as desired, especially late in the going.
PRO TIP
Due to the rapid increase in circulation, some people notice a slight tingling or flushed sensation.
Ingredient Breakdown
Taurine – An amino acid found throughout the body, but especially in muscle and nerve tissue. Taurine assists in regulating heartbeat and muscle contractions, and levels of neurotransmitters in the brain. It is also essential for the proper use of electrolytic minerals—calcium, magnesium, potassium, and sodium—and ensures proper muscle function. Taurine also increases concentration and focus without stimulating the nervous system. Perhaps most important to athletes, taurine supplementation is correlated with increases in VO2 max and time to exhaustion due to its ability to buffer lactic acid and maintain healthy pH levels.
Beta-Alanine – This amino acid simultaneously neutralizes acidity levels and enhances blood flow to working muscles—both of which enhance sports performance.
L-Carnitine Fumarate – This amino acid transports fatty acids into the mitochondria for conversion of cellular energy. Fumaric acid (fumarate) is a Krebs Cycle Intermediate and plays a vital role in energy production.
Spectra™ – A proprietary blend of 29 vegetable, fruit, and herbal ingredients. Spectra™ has been shown in a crossover, double-blind, placebo-controlled study to increase nitric oxide (NO) levels by 64%. Increasing NO levels result in increased blood flow to muscles, enhancing delivery of nutrients and oxygen to working muscles, thus supporting increases in endurance and strength. That same study showed that Spectra™ also provides powerful antioxidant support, reducing free radical production.
Green Tea Extract (standardized to 50% polyphenols) – A natural source of caffeine—each serving of Fully Charged contains approximately 15 mg—green tea also contains polyphenols that provide antioxidant and cardiovascular health support.
elevATP™ – A proprietary, clinically-researched blend of plant-derived trace minerals and polyphenol-rich apple extracts, elevATP™ works with the body's natural energy-producing mechanisms to stimulate production of adenosine triphosphate (ATP), the energy currency of the body.
Beet Root Juice Powder (Beta vulgaris) – A rich source of nitrates, which help boost nitric oxide (NO) levels.
Tyrosine – This amino acid is the precursor for several important neurotransmitters that are involved in alleviating stress and fatigue. Tyrosine also promotes mental alertness.
Tart Cherry Extract (standardized to 6.5% anthocyanins) – Cherries contain naturally occurring compounds (anthocyanins) shown to reduce inflammation, which in turn helps maintain normal muscle function, decreases soreness, and accelerates recovery.
Soluble Corn Fiber (as Fibersol®-2 AG) – A digestive resistant maltodextrin used as a prebiotic that facilitates healthful digestion while neutralizing the taste of the product.
Tapioca Maltodextrin – A natural root-based starch used in minimal amounts to improve flavor and mixability.
Natural Cherry Flavor – Combined with Tart Cherry Extract, this gives Fully Charged its light cherry flavor.
Nutritional Information
Recovery matters. Do it right.
- Restores muscle glycogen
- Rebuilds muscle strength
- Reduces soreness & fatigue
- New caffe latte formula
How to Use
Mix 2 scoops with 4–8 oz of water. Consume immediately after exercise. If you’re not able to eat a full meal within one hour of completing your exercise, take a second serving.
PRO TIPS
For best results, do not combine with milk or milk substitutes, as this alters the preferable carb-to-protein ratio and may reduce the rate of digestion.
To ensure the best flavor and effectiveness of the product, do not mix in advance.

ENDUROLYTES FIZZ FAQS
WHAT ARE THE MAIN DIFFERENCES BETWEEN HEED AND ENDUROLYTES FIZZ?
HEED is a powdered sports drink that contains calories, a full-spectrum electrolyte profile, and key auxiliary nutrients. Endurolytes Fizz is a nearly-calorie-free, full-spectrum electrolyte replenishment product in effervescent tablet form.
Every scoop of HEED contains 110 calories and about the same amounts of electrolytes as one-half tablet of Endurolytes Fizz. While taking into account the many variables that determine how much electrolytic mineral support you need, most athletes find that 2-4 Endurolytes capsules of 1-2 Endurolytes Fizz tablets work extremely well. With that in mind, lighter-weight athletes will oftentimes find that 1.0 - 1.25 scoops of HEED in a water bottle (110 - 137.5 calories) will oftentimes cover their entire fueling requirements — fluids, calories, and electrolytes — for an hour. The same is true for most athletes who are doing short-duration workouts and require only minimal amounts of calories and electrolytes. Medium-weight athletes will find that 1.5 scoops of HEED will provide the appropriate amount of calories (165), but that 1-2 capsules of Endurolytes or ½ to 1 tablet of Endurolytes Fizz may be needed to cover electrolyte needs more completely. Heavier-weight athletes will find that 1.75 scoops of HEED (192.5 calories) should be sufficient, though up to 2.0 level scoops (~205 calories) is acceptable. These amounts will also provide 1.75 - 2.0 capsules’ worth of Endurolytes or approximately 1 tablet of Endurolytes Fizz. Additional amounts will be needed, usually in the amounts of 1-2 Endurolytes capsules or 1 tablet of Endurolytes Fizz.
During longer bouts of exercise, when Perpetuem or Sustained Energy is the primary fuel (and especially when concentrated, multi-hour bottles of either product are being used), Endurolytes Fizz is an ideal alternative to Endurolytes capsules, primarily for athletes who are either unable to swallow capsules during exercise, or who prefer to fulfill their electrolytic mineral needs via lightly flavored, effervescent (“fizzy”) electrolyte water.
A key point to remember is that if you put “X” amount of scoops of HEED or “X” number of Endurolytes Fizz in your water bottle, your dose is preset . . . you’ve basically put a ceiling on it, which can become an issue if what you’ve put in your bottle is proving to be insufficient (such as if the weather gets hotter). Therefore, we highly recommend that you carry extra Endurolytes Fizz tablets or Endurolytes capsules. You may end up not needing them, but you’ll feel better knowing that you have them within easy reach, should the conditions require more electrolytic mineral support than what you’re obtaining from however many scoops of HEED or Endurolytes Fizz tablets you’ve put in your bottle.
Lastly, you can most definitely add Endurolytes Fizz tablets to your bottle(s) of HEED to bolster the electrolyte content. If you’re adventurous, you can create a new flavor by, for example, adding Grape Endurolytes Fizz to Melon HEED, or numerous other creative combinations.
Bottom line: HEED = Calories + electrolytes; Endurolytes Fizz = Electrolytes only. Now you know the differences between these two great fuels!
HOW TO USE
Application:
Use prior to, during, and after workouts to satisfy the body’s electrolyte requirements with maximum precision.
Use as needed, but primarily when:
- Exercise lasts for more than two hours, regardless of temperature or humidity.
- Exercise lasts less than two hours and:
- Temperature is above 80 degrees and/or 70% humidity or
- Temperature and humidity is ten degrees or more above what you are accustomed to.
Mixing Instructions
Starting at an hourly dose of 1/2 tablet per 50-60 pounds of body weight, add Endurolytes Fizz tablets to your water or fuel bottle(s), allow to dissolve completely, and consume as needed to maintain proper hydration and electrolyte levels. Note: Each rapidly dissolving effervescent tablet contains the equivalent dosage of approximately two Endurolytes capsules.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Many variables - body weight, fitness level, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and physiological predisposition - affect individual electrolyte requirements, so you must do your own trials with Endurolytes Fizz dosing, under a variety of conditions, to determine what your individual needs are.
- Endurolytes Fizz DOES NOT prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from overexertion in the heat.
- At 10 calories per tablet, Endurolytes Fizz is not a significant source of calories.
- The amount of salt (sodium chloride) you habitually consume in your daily diet largely determines the amount of salt, you will need to consume during exercise and races. If you consume a high-salt diet, you will need to increase your hourly dose of Endurolytes Fizz above our starting point recommendation.

Take 1–3 capsules 10–30 minutes before the start of exercise.
Take 1–6 capsules per hour as needed to maintain electrolyte balance.
Take 1–3 capsules immediately following exercise.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
- Many variables - body weight, fitness level, weather conditions, acclimatization level, and physiological predisposition - affect individual electrolyte requirements, so you must do your own trials with Endurolytes dosing, under a variety of conditions, to determine what your individual needs are.
- Endurolytes DO NOT prevent heat stroke, hyponatremia, or any other dangerous physical condition resulting from overexertion in the heat.
- The amount of salt (sodium chloride) you habitually consume in your daily diet largely determines the amount of salt, you will need to consume during exercise and races. If you consume a high-salt diet, you will either need to increase your hourly dose of Endurolytes or use Endurolytes Extreme.
- We include ginger root in the Endurolytes and Endurolytes Extreme capsules because it is very soothing to the stomach and can help protect against nausea and other stomach issues. However, some of ginger's naturally occurring compounds—zingerone and capsaicin—can have a burning effect on the mouth and throat if the powder comes in contact with them. We therefore recommend that you DO NOT open up the capsules and swallow the contents. Consume the capsule whole for best results.
INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Full-Spectrum Electrolyte Profile – This complete profile contains the following minerals:
Sodium – Sourced from salt, which is comprised of 40% sodium.
Chloride – Sourced from salt, which is comprised of 60% chloride.
Calcium – Supplied in the “as chelate” form, meaning it’s calcium bonded to one or more amino acids, usually glycinate (glycine) or asparate (aspartic acid).
Magnesium – Included in the “as chelate” form, it is magnesium bonded to one or more amino acids. These forms are used for maximal absorbability.
Potassium – Included in the “as chelate” form, it is potassium bonded to one or more amino acids. These forms are used for maximal absorbability.
Manganese – This trace mineral is necessary for optimal muscle cell enzyme reactions and for the conversion of fatty acids and protein into energy.
Ginger Root –A natural anti-inflammatory and digestive aid.

BENEFITS
Perform at your peak, regardless of high temperatures. Take Liquid Endurance in the days prior to exercising in the heat and you’ll start your day hyper-hydrated and feeling great until the end. As dehydration takes hold of those around you, you’ll still be going strong.
Knowing that the body cannot process fluids you consume at the same rate you sweat, some degree of dehydration (and it’s correlating performance decline) has been accepted as inevitable when exercising in the heat. That is, until now. Glycerol, the active ingredient in this one-of-a-kind product, maximizes intercellular water levels to be called upon as needed during activity. Decline in body-water levels is thus prevented or delayed. It is the only way to safely and effectively prepare your body for heat exposure—minimizing dehydration and maximizing performance in hot weather.
Arm yourself against the elements. Add Liquid Endurance to your arsenal. It mixes easily into a delicious drink you’ll look forward to after every session.
HOW TO USE
Traditional Loading Procedure
3 days before a hot weather event
1. Mix 0.5 oz of Liquid Endurance with 16-26 oz (473-768 ml) of water.
2. Slowly sip a bottle over 2–3 hours.
3. Repeat for 2 or 3 daily doses.
During Event/Exercise
Mix 1 oz into your first bottle.
Non Loading/Quick Help in the Heat
3-day loading is not required to enjoy significant benefits. When exercising for long periods in the heat, add .25 oz–.5 oz of Liquid Endurance to each large water bottle, which will slow your rate of dehydration.
PRO TIPS
During multi-day events, it is okay to take an additional loading dose each evening.
Most athletes will gain 1–2% of their body weight.
Weigh yourself each day. If you have gained more than 3% of your body weight before finishing the loading procedure, you have achieved the maximum effective fluid increase, and it is time to stop loading. More than 3% gain does not improve performance.

INGREDIENT BREAKDOWN
Flaxseed Powder – This awesome ingredient is used for a variety of uses. The nutrients include lignans, antioxidants, fiber, protein and polyunsaturated fatty acids, such as alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) or omega-3.
Avocado Oil – is pressed from the avocado fruit and is an excellent source of lutein. Lutein is a carotenoid, the “eye” vitamin. A very healthy oil, this is high in oleic acid and contains vitamin E, which also helps the absorption of other fat-soluble vitamins.
Natural Flavors – ingredients made from natural sources, such as spices, fruit / fruit juices, vegetables / vegetable juices, herbs, back, buds, roots, leave and other plant materials.
Inulin – is a type of prebiotic that is not digested or absorbed in the stomach, but stays in the bowels and helps certain beneficial / “friendly” bacteria to grow. This is a starchy substance found in a vast variety of fruits, veggies, and herbs.
Egg White Protein – another great source of protein and is an excellent source to add to your diet without adding calories. This helps your body build strong muscles and maintain muscle mass as you age.
Stevia Reb A – known as Candyleaf in other countries, often used as a safe sugar substitute that can sweeten up foods without a negative health effect linked to refined sugars. This is also associated with several magnificent health benefits, such as reduced caloric intake, blood sugar levels and the risk of tooth decay.
Monk Fruit Extract – A natural, calorie-free, natural sweetener that does not affect insulin production. The sweetness from monk fruit is due to the natural occurring antioxidants called mogrosides.
