Sports Drink Comparison: How Does Your
Sports Drink Stack Up?
Prolong Energy knows better than
anyone else that competition in the sports nutrition
market is fierce. Before digging into our sports drink
comparison table, we encourage you to ask yourself:
Who made my sports drink and exactly why do I use it?
Prolong was developed by elite cyclist John K. Heiss,
Ph.D. Every ingredient in Prolong—our
two sources of carbohydrates,
soy protein isolate, proprietary electrolyte profile,
B-vitamins, and antioxidant blend—is there for a reason:
to provide your body with as much fuel in the form of
usable calories as possible. Prolong has zero
unnecessary additives and no artificial ingredients,
period.
Compare your sports
drink below and see why Prolong is ALL YOU NEED.
