🧪 Formulation Notes

The ADVANCED CARBOHYDRATE SYSTEM (ACS), which incorporates multiple carbohydrate energy sources, including our proprietary, acid-buffering alpha-L-Polylactate(TM), takes advantage of the body’s natural ability to transport and deliver different energy sources (carbohydrates) through multiple unique pathways. Other sports drinks containing fewer energy sources are not able to deliver as much energy over the same time interval as Cytomax. Cytomax also incorporates an AMINO ACID PEPTIDE BLEND to help fuel working muscle and support muscle recovery.

ACS and ENERGY TRANSPORTS

The carbohydrate sources in Cytomax utilize the following pathways: Maltodextrin and Dextrose follow the Glucose Pathway; Crystalline Fructose uses the Fructose Pathway; alpha-L-Polylactate relies on the Lactate Pathway. Water utilizes the Aquaporin Pathway.
