Twinlab Endurance Fuel
As an endurance runner you’ve undoubtedly experienced one of the following problems:
- Crashing early during your runs
- Intense muscle cramps as your body starves for fuel
- Cutting a run shorter than you wanted to because you didn’t feel capable
- Post-run crash and/or starvation
- Trying to choose from a multitude of sports beverage products before, during, and after runs
Well, the problem with most sports beverages is that they have too much sugar and are best used for only one specialized purpose, whether it be pre, during, or post-workout. Twinlab Endurance Fuel

From Twinlab’s Scientists:
“We started by asking ourselves what the body of an athlete really
needs as it moves through phases of intense exercise - how could we
help provide the right nutrition that an endurance athlete needs at
the beginning, middle and end of a race to help him or her perform
better and recover faster,” said Dr. Stacey Bell, Senior Research
Scientist. “Carrying supplements around and taking them at different
times just isn’t practical, so we formulated one product for all
stages: Endurance Fuel
muscles, and timed-release carbohydrates for continuous energy.
Electrolytes were added to replenish and aid in proper hydration, and
beta alanine was included to help improve endurance. Even the proteins
are ’staged’ with fast-absorbing whey to support muscles during
activity and followed by slower absorbing casein to aid in muscle
recovery.”
Designed for the serious endurance athlete, Endurance Fuel
Stage One: Drinking Endurance Fuel before training prepares your body with the hydration it needs and floods the system with Defense Complex, a fusion of clinically-tested antioxidants, which helps
protect muscles during exercise.
Stage Two: Designed to power the athlete through even the most intense training, our Endurance Blend contains several components. A four-stage carbohydrate mixture releases energy gradually over time,
increasing endurance and stamina beyond simple carb drinks. Electrolytes help replenish essential nutrients lost through perspiration. Beta alanine, “the endurance ingredient,” was also added as it has been clinically proven to raise the anaerobic threshold in endurance athletes, helping them work longer, faster and harder in less time.
Stage Three: Post-exercise recovery is addressed with the inclusion of a specially-designed Recovery Matrix. “Rapid recuperation is extremely important to elite athletes who are training regularly,”
remarked Dr. Bell. “Since exercise produces stress, which leads to protein loss in muscle, we used a two-phased solution: whey, to reduce protein lost during exercise, and casein, a protein which is absorbed
over a couple of hours, to readily restore and grow resting muscle when exercise is finished.” These proteins were added at a 4:1 carb-to-protein ratio that studies indicate results in improved performance. The end result is improved athletic performance, enhanced endurance and a faster muscle recovery.
