KONA ENDURANCE
PROTM is an extremely advanced endurance supplement clinically documented to increase
oxygen intake, increase anaerobic threshold, reduce lactic acid and speed recovery. Increased oxygen intake is the
result of Cordyceps sinensis containing 8% Cordycepic acid. Speeding recovery very rapidly is GREATLY enhanced
by the utilization of 360mg per serving of Rhodiola rosea containing 5.1% min
rosavins. Simply put, this extremely rare, potent, expensive grade of Rhodiola rosea will severely reduce lactic acid buildup. In clinical testing of time
trialists, the utilization of Branched Chain Amino Acids in the ratio of 2:1:1 L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine and
L-Valine greatly increased endurance. The amino acid Citrulline when bonded to Malate in 2:1 form has been scientifically
documented to increase aerobic capacity in endurance athletes.
A brief summary of the
Kona Endurance PROTM
ingredients, which are scientifically documented to increase endurance.
Rhodiola rosea (minimum 5.1% rosavins) -
An adaptogen that is native to the high altitude Polar Regions of Europe
and Asia. Rhodiola rosea containing minimum 5.1% rosavins is the most potent
strain available worldwide. In a recent double blind placebo controlled
randomized study, it was scientifically documented that
Rhodiola rosea increases VO2 Max in addition to significantly reducing
fatigue. Recent research documents rhodiola rosea increases maximum oxygen
intake and increased run time to exhaustion.
Cordyceps sinensis (NOW with 8% Cordycepic acid)
-
An adaptogen that is
primarily native to the plateaus of China and Tibet above 12,000 feet. In addition to scientific documentation that confirms it’s ability to increase
energy and endurance, the legendary running coach, Ma Junren (Newsweek. Sept 27,1993), attributes many of the long distance
running world records to the athlete’s use of Cordyceps sinensis. When
evaluating Cordyceps sinensis, the active ingredient is Cordycepic acid or
Mannitol. 7% Cordycepic acid is generally regarded as the most potent
available, Kona EnduranceTM
supplements are now formulated with 8% Cordycepic acid.
Branched Chain Amino Acids - Precise 2:1:1 ratio of L-Leucine, L-Isoleucine, L-Valine. Science documents these amino acids benefit the
endurance athlete by increasing endurance, delaying fatigue and reducing muscle fatigue.
It
is important to note that branched-chain amino acids can be converted into
glucose and used as fuel for endurance activities, very beneficial for the
endurance athlete. A recent study documented BCAA
supplementation was very effective in improving time-trialing performance in
trained cyclists.
Citrulline Malate
- Research show that Citrulline, a very
unique amino acid, has been scientifically documented to increase endurance and
increase aerobic capacity. It is scientifically documented that
Citrulline Malate has lead to significant reductions of fatigue and increases in
energy production. The metabolic actions of Citrulline Malate clearly explain
the research that documents it's ability as a performance enhancer in
benefitting
the endurance athlete.
