H3O Pro™ Isotonic Drink - Key Nutrients
Isotonic drinks contain carbohydrates to help you to stay energised. Isotonic drinks also help keep you hydrated by replacing fluid and precious electrolytes (salts) which are lost through sweat; helping you to avoid the negative effects of dehydration during and after exercise. Even moderate intensity exercise will create sweat resulting in a loss of electrolytes and energy. An isotonic drink has a similar carbohydrate and electrolyte concentration to your body, meaning that your body will absorb them faster than water alone.

Isomaltulose |
Glucose syrup, maltodextrin |
Isomaltulose is a naturally derived source of sugar that acts as the key carbohydrate in H3O Pro™, providing immediate and sustained energy to prevent unwanted performance dips - it won't create a quick spike and crash in energy as some sports drinks do. |

Carbohydrates
Carbohydrates are the most efficient source of energy as they require less oxyen to be burnt than either protein or fat. If carbohydrate stores are gradually depleted it can affect performance. As it is a challenge to consue carbohydrates from food before and after exercise, an isotonic drink can help to provide the required carbohydrate to maitain energy. Isomaltulose is a naturally derived source of sugar that acts as the key carbohydrate in H3O Pro™, providing immediate and sustained energy to prevent unwanted performance dips - it won't create a quick spike and crash in energy as some sports drinks do.
What are electrolytes and why are they important?
Electrolytes is the scientific term for salts, or specifically, ions. In the body, major electrolytes include sodium, potassium, chloride, calcium, magnesium, bicarbonate, phosphate and sulfate. Electrolytes are vital because various cells in the body (especially nerve, muscle, heart) use them to maintain voltages across their cell membranes and to carry electrical impulses such as muscle contraction. When you exercise heavily, you lose electrolytes in your sweat, particularly sodium and potassium. These electrolytes must be replaced to keep the electrolyte concentrations of your body fluids constant. Drinking water, especially during strenuous exercise or training, is not always the best way to replace lost fluids because it dilutes the existing electrolytes (salts) inside the body's cells and interferes with their chemical functions. Pure water intake during exercise also causes bloating and stimulates urine output which makes it less effective when exercising.
What are mixed tocopherals?
Mixed tocopherals consist of a variety of natural components, collectively known as vitamin E, obtained from edible vegetable oils that possess antioxidant properties. Antioxidants are known to help potect the body against the potentially damaging effects of free radicals.
Whatever your sport, there are other Herbalife products that can support your healthy, active lifestyle - so try using H3O Pro™ alongside products such as Herbalife Formula 1 and Formula 2 Multivitamin Complex.
