OFFICIAL COURSE ENERGY DRINK XOOD: NATURAL HEALTHY ENDURANCE DRINK We are excited to offer XOOD, a new sports drink on the Tucson Marathon and Half Marthon courses this year. XOOD is a revolutionary, healthy drink unlike anything you've experienced. It's all-natural with a light, refreshing taste. There are no added sweeteners and no artificial flavoring, colors or fake anything of any kind. XOOD's precise blend of maltodextrin, fructose, whey protein, electrolytes and vitamins is designed to help you tear up the track — without tearing up your GI tract. XOOD was developed by two endurance athletes who are also cardiologists. They combined their personal experience as athletes and their medical expertise to create a performance drink that just makes sense. All Natural Everything that goes into XOOD comes directly from nature. The sugars, carbs, proteins and other ingredients are derived from natural sources. There are no artificial sweeteners, colorings, flavorings or chemicals of any kind. XOOD doesn't even depend on traditional additives to make it dissolve. We pulverize XOOD into an ultra-fine powder for easy mixing. That's why you'll see a puff when you open the container. XOOD gives you everything you need and nothing you don't. With no artificial flavors or sweeteners XOOD has a light, satisfying taste. It's not sickeningly sweet and doesn't leave an aftertaste or unpleasant mouth coating. Carbohydrates Unlike many performance drinks, XOOD gives you the advantages of both simple sugars and complex carbohydrates. Its two-to-one ratio of maltodextrin and fructose provides a high absorption rate. This gives you the quick boost of energy of simple sugars while proving the long lasting endurance of complex carbs. Protein Protein is vital to your performance and muscle recovery. But too much hard-to-digest protein can cause GI tract distress and cramping in the extremities. XOOD's 12-to-1 ratio of carbs to ultra-fine whey protein gives you the protein you need for improved muscle function, while causing less digestive problems. Electrolytes XOOD has the necessary electrolytes — sodium, calcium, chloride, magnesium and potassium — that help the body function at optimal levels during intense activity. Vitamins The special blend of vitamins C, D, E, B6, B12, ribloflavin and folic acid help metabolize carbohydrates and optimize muscle function. |
