Hyperhydrate
By taking STANDFAST in the days to weeks before a long race, the body stores water in the blood plasma. This provides a reservoir which the body can utilise to counter fluids lost by sweating when exercising. This reduces cardiovascular strain by reducing heart rate and increasing the blood pumped from the heart with each heartbeat. Ultimately, salt supplementation has been demonstrated to improve performance during endurance running events.
Improve performance
STANDFAST contains the ergogenic aid creatine monohydrate which has been demonstrated in multiple trials to improve high-intensity athletic performance, enhance musle recovery and increase muscle glycogen stores. STANDFAST has an alkaline pH so can improve the body’s capability to tolerate and buffer lactic acid production. This delays the onset of muscle fatigue and ultimately improves endurance performance.ce.
Reduce faintness and dizziness
The most common reason for athletes to become unwell during endurance racing, particularly during warm weather, is faintness, dizziness and collapse. This can be due to the loss of sodium in sweat, coupled with overhydration with water. This can cause the blood sodium levels to dip dangerously low. Loading with STANDFAST in the days and weeks prior to endurance racing can help maintain sodium blood levels when performing endurance events.
STANDFAST is a sodium salt based isotonic drink. Increasing salt intake in the weeks prior to running or cycling racing produces several changes in the body. Salt supplementation expands the blood and plasma volume. Plasma is the liquid component of blood. Using STANDFAST for only a few days can increase the plasma volume by 300ml (approximately the volume of a can of soft drink).
STANDFAST also stimulates the production of more red blood cells as the expanded plasma volume stimulates a hormone called erythropoietin. This can be beneficial for endurance athletes.
STANDFAST has optional loading strategies. Taking STANDFAST daily will slowly load the athlete over the coming months however a rapid load (taking twice daily for a week and then continued once daily) can also be utilised for rapid results.
STANDFAST is backed by research. The American College of Sports Medicine recommend exertional salt intake for endurance exercise.
Choose STANDFAST as your drink of choice to improve endurance performance.
