Prolong Energy - An Endurance fuel you can trust

Prolong Energy drinks are the first endurance formula to be formulated based on an exhaustive literature search of the most current research.  New studies have been released in the last five years that have highlighting striking data that will give you an edge. Most other drinks haven’t changed formulations in the past ten years or more.  

Every ingredient has been thoroughly researched for efficacy. We don’t add anything for marketing purposes. We don’t have any additives without function.

 Prolong was designed by a PhD in Biochemistry and a PhD student in Nutrition, no other energy drink is backed by such a volume of peer-reviewed publications.

 The three goals of Prolong endurance are to:

• maximize caloric availability for long rides

•  provide a mixture that is well tolerated at all intensity levels

•  maintain hydration and prevent cramping in extreme weather conditions (hot and cold)

 We accomplish these three goals with each family of ingredients: 

The Dual Source carbohydrate source allows us to not only include 240 calories in a bottle / hour, but ensures that YOU are actually able to METABOLIZE and USE all 240 calories. The amino acid profile of Soy protein is ideal as a during exercise additive. It not only provides 4 cal / g, but also prevents muscle degradation during workouts and provides free amino acids to firing muscles.  

Since our drink uses fructose as a fuel source and subtle sweetener, we don’t need to add any non-coloric or artificial sweeteners. The results is a mild mix that is easily consumed in hot or cold weather and while on an easy ride or intense short race.  

One of our proudest achievements is creating such an effective dose of electrolytes. Since each electrolyte is chelated to a different biomolecule, we are able to provide essential compounds such as Vitamin C, gluconate which acts as a pH buffer against Lactic Acid, and citric acid which has anti-oxidant properties as well as participates in the effective metabolism of carbohydrates and proteins.
