Made with the requirements of long-term modalities in mind, Extreme Fluid Gel is a combination of fast-absorbing carbohydrates designed to keep blood sugar levels stable and prevent early fatigue. To aid in this function, branched chain amino acids (BCAA) have been added, which help in reducing muscle damage associated with exercise. In addition, it increases fatigue resistance (decreasing the accumulation of serotonin, the neurotransmitter involved in central fatigue) and increases the use of lipids as a source of energy during exercise. When they are ingested, they travel to the muscles where they are oxidized to provide additional energy, which results in decreased hepatic glycogen utilization and thus promotes postponement of fatigue.
