The Cytomax Cycle - Hydration, Energy, and Recovery
As an endurance athlete, training for three different endurance activities and balancing a busy lifestyle is a huge challenge. Recovery is the key to achieving peak performance and avoiding the #1 mistake that befalls endurance athletes: overtraining.

Proper recovery from the stress of exercise, and everyday life, requires a sensible training schedule, balanced lifestyle and excellent nutritional habits. Supplements play a crucial role in your program simply because the demands you place on your body require more than just healthy whole foods. This is especially true if you do not eat perfectly every day.

The most important function of supplements is to meet your nutritional needs when whole foods are not feasible or convenient - such as before, during and after endurance exercise. The Cytomax Cycle addresses all of your nutritional need with products targeted for specific uses. Following is a brief explanation of each product in the Cycle and how to use them effectively.

Before - Cytomax Pre-Formance: Nutritionally balanced pre-workout meal replacement with complex carbohydrates and complete whey protein. Easy to prepare and digest before extended workouts, for a morning breakfast on the go or convenient meal replacement. Pre-Formance is also excellent to mix in a water bottle for liquid calories during long runs or rides.

During - Cytomax: Sport Exercise Drink for hydration, performance enhancement and electrolyte balance. The favorite of elite athletes, Cytomax helps buffer lactic acid production in your muscles during exercise - enhancing performance and minimize muscle damage from hard training.

After - Cytomax Recovery: Concentrated formula designed specifically for recovery from endurance exercise. The perfect fuel to consume during that crucial one-hour 'window of opportunity' after exercise when muscles are most receptive to nutritional replenishment.

The cycle offers a simple regimen to give you all the advantages of performance nutrition for your endurance training. Should you consume each product before, during and after every workout? Of course not - these products fill the holes created by real life variables that compromise ideal nutritional habits. For example, rushing off to work after a morning swim, skipping a meal during a busy work or travel day. For those athletes immersed in extreme training cycles such as ironman preparation, each Cytomax Cycle product realistically should be consumed on a daily basis to ensure peak performance and fast recovery.
