Product Description

No other exercise drink can match CYTOMAX's proven performance University studies have proven that CYTOMAX:

Lowers lactic acid level during and after training by 40% for less burning and cramping during training and less soreness after SO YOU CAN BEAT THE BURN!

Stabilizes power output during intense exercise by over 10% for more strength especially towards the end of your workout.

Reduces perceived exertion by 20% so you feel less fatigued during training.

Reduces oxygen consumption rate by 11% at the same performance level. This leaves you with more "wind" (more of VO@-max remaining) for even higher performance.

Increases recuperation rate by over 10% to reduce frustrating strength variations from one workout day to the next

In addition, CYTOMAX contains electrolytes, no sucrose, and just enough sodium.

CYTOMAX helps keep strength at peak levels longer so you can train harder. If you are trying to improve stamina and speed, CYTOMAX will help you exercise longer with greater comfort. You will be able to expend more calories with less muscle loss. CYTOMAX's lactate-based calories are ideal because they are not easily converted to fat.

Customer Reviews

Engineered for Runners, Cyclists and Athletes of all types...
As a distance runner, I have been a dedicated user of Cytomax since 1994. It's smooth, tastes great and delivers an even dose of the right blend of carbohydrates to help sustain energy levels. More importantly, it doesn't leave me with a "sugar crash" the way that some other popular name brands do.

The effect of Cytomax and reduction of perceived exertion/lactic acid buildup is evident anytime; however, it is most pronounced during summertime, when the body is working harder during longer training sessions. I would recommend following the product's directions to consume this before, during and after the training periods to obtain maximum effect.

Before the advent of the Internet and E-Commerce, I had tried others that were popular and commercially available, when I could not obtain Cytomax. Even recently, I obtained a sample of the EAS equivalent, which was highly touted. The bottom line is that all else pales in comparison to this product.

Cytomax, a runners best friend.
I have been using Cytomax regularly for about six years now. I cannot preach the benefits of this product enough. It really does beat the burn. The percieved exertion levels, the lowering of lactic acid levels in muscle and the subsequent enhanced recovery are all truly part of the package. I frequently use it before bed when I know I will only have a limited time to sleep (i.e. 3-5 hrs) and have found that I will have deep restful sleep and awake feeling invigorated. It is also a handy hangover drink according to some of my past roomates. I have been encouraging other fellow runners, triathletes, cyclist, backpackers, mountaineers, etc to try the product and have recieved similiar feedback. Many nice climbing/outdoor gear shops have the individual packets available if you wanted to demo the product.

Great for long distance cycling
Been using this product for over 10 years on long distance rides, including centuries. Have tried them all. As another reviewer said, this isn't a "tasty" drink to have on the patio, but if you want to keep your legs from cramping, this stuff WORKS!! I won't go on a long ride without it.
