Do you have days when you don’t have enough energy to exercise? Do you skip having a snack 30 minutes prior to exercise? Do you wait an hour or longer to eat after exercise? If you answered 'yes' to any of these questions, chances are you are not optimizing the effectiveness of your training for the sport you so faithfully perform.

Critical Reload™ is a great tasting, pre & post exercise shake designed to meet the nutritional needs of the athlete so you CAN enhance the effectiveness of your sport-training. Critical Reload™ contains 28-grams of three (3) different types of protein (hydrolyzed whey protein concentrate, whey protein concentrate, milk protein isolate) to stimulate muscle protein synthesis (growth & recovery) and prevent muscle breakdown, both, during and hours after exercise. Critical Reload™ also contains 60-grams of complex carbohydrates that optimize glycogen replenishment in hard-working muscles thus, extending endurance, speeding recovery and helping to improve overall performance during exercise.

Additionally, clinical studies show a balanced ratio of carbohydrates and proteins, like those found in Critical Reload™, facilitate muscle protein synthesis through a fast digestion rate and quick insulin response better than carbohydrate beverages alone [1]. Insulin, a natural occurring hormone in the body, is responsible for shuttling proteins (amino acids) and glycogen (carbohydrates) into muscle cells where they can be utilized for muscle growth and recovery. Critical Reload's insulintrophic 2:1 carbohydrate to protein blend facilitates an anabolic insulin response that infuses the muscle with growth promoting proteins and carbohydrates so you can recover faster and kick-start your next workout into high gear!
