And there are gels.....

And then there are gels...being the off the counter brands like GU and Powerbar. the other two remains pretty unknown for this tastebuds, more importantly the sustainable energy. As GU and PBgel goes on for 35mins max, doesnt do jack to me in terms to me beside giving me a sugar rush. I'll try the rest later .The E-GEl seems larger....and sure gives an impression of some mutant goo..

Hornet Juice Performance Supplements

Tried this months ago, believe me i was sceptical and i don't usually write about the stuff i take , just to give you a glimpse of what i know and tried was Amino Vital Strenght and Endurance, Hammergel Recoverite , GU Energy Gel ,Amino Acid base Controlled Labs Purple Wrath and others ( under my nutrition section )

Then i tried this, it totally changed my perception of Amino Acids supplement from the above. its above and beyond then the rest although it does not contain any carbo base. I seriously don't know how to share my enthusiasm to you on this with out being bias. Just google "hornet juice + VAAM"

It has helped my thru my training and competitions in the beginning of my season and till now. In high level , it gives better flow of energy and less effort on anything that is endurance based. i believe in it soo much i've decided to bring it "ON" to the rider, runner or triathlete here in Malaysia.

It is an energy experience that is worth having for an important event that you need to do your best in. please do let me have the pleasure to share this with you at a much better price and the experience of talking about it after you have crossed the line.......email me at hornetjuice.my@gmail.com ( Malaysia or Singapore )

Update : Run Strong on VAAM and others (you might find it informative)

Note:

So far everyone whom uses this works for them. Most of the main mistake of not feeling the effect is not using it prior to the session. It does not work best if its usage is halved or if its digested with protein. Best result is drink it before a carbo breakfast.

Hydration Factor with glycerol.

http://www.rice.edu/~jenky/sports/dehydration.html

After a bad heat dehydration experience , it prompted me to look into some way to retain my "moisture" from within. Experimented with Glycerol , noticed the extended duration from thirst and also the less frequency of drinks needed for the first hour. partly due to the preparation of glycerol :water: sports powder ratio. I can confirm on the slight bloated feeling especially walking out the door. The feeling of thirst never did came to mind prior to the event. with some time release factor , 1st hour is sustainably "soaked" while it diminish pretty rapidly for the next 20 mins , meaning thirst setting in duing this time. at 84% hr. well... i do felt it worked....

Mixing with the Japs

Have no idea who's Pokari sweat i be drinking but it better taste good. 288kcal for 74 gram

Burn your body fat with explosive power whenever needed ( WTF?) 246kcal@64gram

vitamin C + amino acid = Sport water C ( C = Cycling ) 196Kcal@62 gram

Anyway just wanted to try these isotonic drink, forgot how much it cost but it has to be more than 7 rm each. Got kinda sick with Powerbar endurance drink so i ought to try these powders out. Looks like POKARI Sweat has more Kcal thus a better bang for your buck.However , will not judge its packing until i am sweating.
