ENERGY EDGE is made up of short, medium and long-chain carbohydrates thereby enabling a phased release of energy to the exercising muscles, ensuring a balanced and sustained energy supply.
As it is an electrolyte-balanced solution, Energy Edge ensures proper fluid absorption into the body. This product is ideal for individuals involved in any type of activity, whether it is walking, jogging, sport or high performance training.
Depletion of the body's carbohydrate stores and dehydration are two factors that will limit prolonged exercise.
Dehydration
Sweating is the way in which the body maintains its core temperature at 37 degrees centigrade. This results in the loss of body fluid and electrolytes and if unchecked will lead to dehydration and eventually circulatory collapse and heat stroke.
The effect of fluid loss on the body is as follows:
% body weight lost as sweat |
Physiological Effect |
2% |
Impaired performance |
4% |
Capacity for muscular work declines |
5% |
Heat exhaustion |
7% |
Hallucinations |
10% |
Circulatory collapse and heat stroke |
