How Shaklee's Performance and Physique Are Unique
Category: Healthy Nutrition
Have you ever run out of energy, far too early into your work out, or just felt way too tired and worn out after even moderate exertion?
Have your muscles felt achy and tired for much longer than you'd expect, afterwards?
What you consume during and right after your workout directly affects your results and recovery times. This is why sports drinks are so helpful.
But, with so many products available in the market, choosing the right ones can be rather confusing. It can be very hard to know what to pick with all these groovy looking tubs and their labels screaming how incredible their product works.
So, what makes Shaklee's products different from the rest?

Physique
Let's start with Physique.
Physique is designed to help you build lean muscle and recover faster after exercise. Unlike so many other products which contain artificial colors, flavors, sweeteners preservatives, and banned substances, Shaklee's Physique has none of these.
Here are 3 main reasons Physique is so special:
1. It's Clinically tested
It's one of the few sports products that has actually been clinically tested and has published research.
2. Bio-build blend
Most post workout products typically load up on protein with little to no carbohydrate.
Shaklee scientists discovered that adding the proper amount of carbs to a protein supplement had a dramatic impact on muscle repair.
In fact, Dr. John Ivy Ph.D. at the University of Texas, along with Shaklee, demonstrated that the synergistic effects of carbohydrates with protein consumed as a drink, rebuild muscle glycogen up to 40% faster than carbs alone.
These levels restore muscle glycogen and muscle break down without contributing to body fat.
Don't worry we'll cover the importance of muscle glycogen in a moment.
Another important finding of this ratio was that it maximized insulin response. And, why is insulin so important?
Insulin is the master hormone that drives:
● Replenishment of energy stores
● Rebuilding of muscle tissue
After discovering the benefits of this ratio, Shaklee's scientists spent thousands of hours developing a unique formulation and ended up with a 3:1 carb to protein ratio.
This blend is clinically proven to naturally activate and enhance the body’s recovery process after exercise.
3. Improves recovery time
Muscle glycogen is the body's most critical and limited muscle energy source.
Shaklee Physique speeds up recovery time and you'll recover more completely because it's able to deliver a greater muscle glycogen response, following exercise, than either protein or straight carbs alone. In some cases, recovery time has been cut in half after surgery or any kind of trauma, by using Physique.
Physique also contains chromium nicotinate.
Once believed to be toxic, Chromium is, in fact, essential to health and has been touted for years for its ability to regulate cellular sensitivity to insulin.
Gaining energy, building muscle, and burning fat are much easier when the body has sufficient levels of chromium. The bottom line is that it helps build firm, lean muscle, helps restore muscle energy, supports muscle repair, tastes great, and is low in fat.
Physique also has:
● 24 essential nutrients
● High-quality milk protein and whey protein isolates which are fantastic sources of the branched chain amino acids, valine, leucine & isoleucine. Shaklee Guard antioxidant system.
● A blend of ascorbyl palmitate, mixed tocopherols and rosemary extract to ensure that it stays fresh.
Performance
While you need to restore muscle energy, you also need to hydrate and replace electrolytes. Water alone is not sufficient.
Dehydration is the most common cause of fatigue and poor physical performance.
Severe dehydration often happens with athletes as they lose large amounts of body fluids by sweating. If left untreated, severe dehydration can cause lethargy, coma, and death could result.
However, dehydration doesn't just affect endurance athletes.
Can you believe that even while you're walking the dog, you can experience mild dehydration? Dr. Richard Brouse, in his article The Best Hot Weather Re-hydrating Solution Available, said that: "When you're thirsty, you are already dehydrated!" This happens when your body is too dry and needs more water and salts.
Shaklee Performance is clinically proven to hydrate better than water.

In fact, it has more electrolytes and provides more energy than the leading hydration drink.
The purpose of rehydration drinks:
1. Maintain fluid (water levels)
2. Maintain electrolyte balance
3. Maintain optimal blood sugar (glucose) levels
What makes Performance so special:
Its proprietary OPTI-LYTE™ electrolyte blend plus Shaklee's unique mix of carbohydrates delivers instant and sustained energy and supports optimal hydration.
Performance also supports optimal hydration which increases endurance.
Performance also:
● Has the essential nutrients including fructose, sodium citrate and glucose that are re-hydration formulas recommended by the World Health Organization.
● Delivers a full spectrum of electrolytes, including calcium and magnesium that you cannot find in other brands in the market.
● Maintains blood-glucose levels to sustain intense energy output and to increase stamina.
