Total Carbohydrates - 39g
Tri Stage Complex Carbohydrate Matrix - 24g
Sugars - 15g
The sugar and three stage complex carbohydrate matrix (short, medium and long chain carbohydrates) are absorbed by the body at different rates which results in immediate energy right after consumption and long lasting endurance for the duration of competition or training.
100% Whey Protein Isolate with full range of amino acids - 10g
Highest quality whey protein isolate available with pure protein concentrations of 98%. Products such as Accelerade use whey protein concentrate which typically only contains 75% of actual protein - the other 25% is filler.
More about Whey Protein Isolate:
Outlast exclusively contains whey protein isolate while most of the whey protein powders on the market contain whey protein concentrate. Comparing the two, whey protein isolate has higher concentrations of protein, has a higher biological value (BV) and as a result is more expensive. Whey protein isolate contains more protein with less fat and lactose per serving. Usually, isolate contains 90-98% protein while whey concentrate contains only 70-85%. Whey protein isolate is the highest yield of protein currently available, and it comes from milk. Because of its chemical properties, whey protein is the easiest to absorb into your muscles. With its high concentration, whey protein isolate is the best to use.
Vitamin E - 30 mg
As a supplement, Vitamin E has a number of health benefits for the body. Vitamin E is particularly important for the protection of our cell membranes as well as keeping your skin, heart and circulation, nerves, muscles and red blood cells healthy. Antioxidants such as vitamin E protect your cells against the effects of dangerous free radicals, potentially damaging by-products of your body's metabolism. Free radicals can cause cell damage that may lead to the development of cardiovascular disease and cancer.
One or more members of the vitamin E family may also reduce cellular aging, inhibit the potentially damaging peroxynitrite radical, inhibit melanoma (skin cancer) cell growth, prevent abnormal blood clotting, synergize with vitamin A to protect the lungs against pollutants, protect nervous system and retina, lower the risk of ischemic and coronary heart disease, lower the risk of certain kinds of cancer, protect immune function and reduce the risk of Alzheimer's disease, particularly if high doses are taken in combination with vitamin C.
Vitamin C - 60mg
Vitamin C is an important antioxidant that helps provide LDL cholesterol with protection from oxidative damage. LDL leads to heart disease only after it has been damaged. Vitamin C might also protect from heart disease as it reduces the clumping of platelets and the stiffness of arteries. Vitamin C also helps strengthen body parts, such as blood vessels and muscles, by helping to make collagen. It also is a natural antihistamine, helps heal wounds, fights viruses, assists in liver bile formation, and detoxifies the body of substances such as alcohol.
Magnesium - 40mg
Magnesium ions are essential to the basic nucleic acid chemistry of life, and thus are essential to all cells of all known living organisms. Many enzymes require the presence of magnesium ions for their catalytic action, especially enzymes utilizing ATP (ATP or Adenosine triphosphate transports chemical energy within cells for metabolism. It is produced as an energy source during the process of cellular respiration and consumed by many enzymes and a multitude of cellular processes including biosynthetic reactions, motility and cell division)
Sodium - 200mg
Sodium ions (often referred to as just "sodium") are necessary for regulation of blood and body fluids, transmission of nerve impulses, heart activity, and certain metabolic functions.
Potassium - 60mg
Potassium is one of the most important components of a properly made sports drink. Human cells contain more potassium than any other mineral. Potassium converts glucose into glycogen for storage and later use. It's also essential to muscle contraction, hormone secretion, and nerve transmission. Unlike sodium, most Americans do not get enough potassium in their diet.
L-Glutamine - 1000mg
Glutamine is highly in demand throughout the body. It is used in the gut and immune system extensively to maintain optimal performance. 60% of free-form amino acids floating in skeletal muscles is L-glutamine. L-glutamine plays a very important role in protein metabolism, and it appears to be a very important nutrient for endurance athletes. When supplemented, it may help athletes reduce the amount of muscle deterioration that occurs because other tissues that need glutamine will not rob the glutamine stored in the muscle cells.
Research shows that after intensely working out, glutamine levels in the body are reduced by as much as 50%. Since the body relies on glutamine as cellular fuel for the immune system, scientific studies suggest that glutamine supplementation can minimize the breakdown of muscle tissue and improve protein metabolism. Glutamine's cell-volumizing effects have also been shown in several studies. A recent study showed up to a 400% increase in growth-hormone levels when as little as 2 grams of free-form L-glutamine supplement was consumed!
L-Citrulline 500mg
The role of L-Citrulline when it is used as a supplement is to improve blood flow in the body by converting to L-Arginine. The increase in L-Arginine provides benefits to the heart that are the result of a more easily flowing blood stream that is due to the effects that L-Arginine has on nitric oxide. Nitric oxide is a compound that relaxes blood vessels. The more relaxed the blood vessels are, the better they are able to handle the flow of blood that runs through them. The benefits of L-Citrulline and L-Arginine are intertwined. The result of improved production of nitric oxide and better blood flow helps to ease physical fatigue.
When we engineered Outlast our goal was clear: Create an endurance drink that combines the strengths of many energy and protein powders into one package. To this end we used a simple sugar along with a multi stage complex carbohydrate to give you energy immediately and for several hours following consumption. We achieve this with short, medium and long chain carbohydrates that are converted by your body in different intervals. Research has also shown that sustained performance for more than one hour can only be attained by combining the carbohydrates with small amounts of protein. We use only whey protein isolate that delivers above 95% actual protein.
Other products use inferior protein concentrate which can yield as low as 70% actual protein. To round out the performance blend we also include the amino acids glutamine and citrullene to aid in muscle building, protein metabolism, nitric oxide production and lactic acid reduction. Citrullene, along with Copper also increases production of ATP in the body. ATP is the major energy source within cells in the human body and increased ATP production will enhance performance, increase endurance and shorten recovery.
