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.
